Star and Garter Hotel

I got one of the pizzas under the $15 winter special called Colville Rd. The pizza was pretty cold, and the base was undercooked/doughy in the middle. My friend got the chicken burger, and the bun, bacon & chicken were all overcooked. Service was pleasant, but the food was disappointing.

We ate here two nights in a row during an early May visit to the Coromandel Peninsula. The historic 2-story building is the star of the business district, for sure, a charmingly restored old place that is very popular with tourists and locals alike. We sat at a table by the bar and ordered Tuatara hazy IPAs and the 309 pizza: pulled pork, smoked bacon, apples and apple syrup, which was quite tasty. We finished with Banoffee Pie, a yummy dessert of little baby pielets of butterscotch in crust, with walnuts we think and butterscotch ice cream. I also ordered a glass of Brookfields Syrah, which was delicious. The pizza, beer, service, and ambience were all so good that we changed our original plan to go to a different place the 2nd night. We came back here instead and ordered another pizza, the Buffalo Road, which had brisket, smoked bacon, onions, mushrooms, and chipotle aioli. It was yummy! More beer, more wine, more Banoffee, another good time!

Great place to eat. Fantastic service and food was devine. Pork hock is amazing! Partner had 1kg Mussels which she said were lovely and tasty. Can be a bit hot inside to eat in summer, could do with some ceiling fans. Other than that will be back again.

Good atmosphere and good food. They have specials on during the week including $15 pizzas which are really popular. There's a few vegetarian options on the menu. There's also a pool table, darts and a fire place.

Food and service was great even though they were busy. We got a table in courtyard, which was enclosed and warm with tvs and pool table... apparently it was a smoking area??? even tho enclosed w little airflow and the place was full of families with kids. Disgusting smell of tailor made cigarettes right behind us cut our night short. Left without dessert even though it sounded great. Such a shame.
