Redoubt Bar & Eatery

: One onion rings to rule them all!! Actually the best onion rings we've ever had though. Amazing Lord of the Rings inspired pizzas, incredible chicken and so many options to choose from.nn: A great place to head to after your Hobbiton tour! Not in your face LotR's themed, but just a nice nod for those who know. Nice open and specious seating, great for warmer weather.nnFollow Foodie Mama NZ on Insta for more reviews.

We stopped by Matamata for a quick feed after a long hike, unfortunately most of the food places were closed and the one we were particularly wanting to dine in was closed it was a Monday. Luckily, Redoubt was open and it did not disappoint.nWe had the pulled pork nachos, Eowyn’s pizza and the chicken fingerlings. My sis-in-law and I really liked the chicken, it was my fave out of the three we ordered.nFriendly staff and good service.

I love their food. Salad sauce was great and the pizza dough was crispy nice way.

Really good food, very flavorful, great atmosphere specially for those fans of The Lord of Rings!nnSauron’s Pizza was and kids Mac and cheese was super flavorful

We visited around 3pm, it was plenty of spaces as only a few tables occupied. The food is at standard. Ordered fish and chips, cripsy pork belly and beer brisket burger. The cripsy pork belly is nice. However, the hospitality of the restaurant is confusing and uncomfortable at the end of dining. During the payment, the staff has passing the receipt and eftpos machine and walked away without any word and never came back to check out. That's quite unpolite and disrespectful. I'm also bit upset about the staff has took away my drink without asking. The staff has apologies after I informed that I havnt finished the drink which she has took away. Shouldn't be related to racism but overall, can't help to feel frustrated and upset for the whole dining experience.
