Big meals at good prices and the wait wasn’t long. British pub grub sums up the menu. Unfortunately my medium rare steak was a fair way beyond medium but overall it was a good feed for everyone.
A fantastic place to be after work whether it is sunny, windy or rainy as the venue accommodates all sorts of weather as you keep contemplating the wonders of one of the beautiful beach in New Zealand. You will be attempted to go everyday to be served nice evening meal + free glass of wine or beer enjoy your choice. Wheelchair accessibility: A place for everyone
Great pub experience. Come for the weekly dinner specials! We came on a Thursday so my boyfriend could have the 500gram steak for $20. What a bargain! He ordered it medium and had a little regret for not choosing medium rare as it was a tad dry - but he was otherwise really happy with the meal. There's always a nive buzz in the place with plenty of people having a good time. I love how efficient they are with their ordering system as well
Had the steak meal which is just over $35 and was served frozen veggies that were still slightly cold. The steak had pretty nice flavour. The venue itself has a nice vibe inside and out and the waiter was friendly.
A great 'English pub' in Browns Bay. The food is nice, friendly staff. The side of curry sauce is especially tasty and definitely homemade! The location is great, opposite the beach, a kids playground and skatepark!Food: 4/5
Pulled pork burgera “special” well below expectations. Dry pork and not edible. Feedback given and pretty much ignored. Disappointing experience here and wouldn’t return for below par food.
We had a lovely afternoon in the speakers corner. The bar staff were friendly and helpful, the beer is good and the food was lovely, its a good family pub, right on the beach, who could ask for more.
Went there for lunch today at around 12.30. Not to busy. Service was fast, warm and friendly atmosphere, great food and very well priced with good portions. Will be back, no complaints here.Food: 5/5
The only truly independent pub I know. Great selection of tap and bottle beer and not tied to any single brewery. Food is great value - get the curry of the day with half chips and half rice!
Great pub in that resembles a British pub. Great outside area with a view of the beach. Tasty pub grub with excellent prices and amazing selection of drinks however the service wasn't good but i feel the girl was new. Recommended coming here if your in the area.
