Storyteller Eatery & Bar

Just popped in for a road coffee and muffin. Chose the berry and white chocolate muffin, great choice as the texture was nice and moist, without being too soggy or crumbly, more of a pleasure to bite into, and a taste to go with. Very nice.nnThe coffee was great also.

Large eatery with plenty of seating. We came for lunch and was able to find a seat easily. We ordered the dragon smoothie and the chicken Parma burger to share. The burger was great and we loved the generous size of the chicken. The smoothie on the other hand was a bit of a disappointment on the bland side so that’s something we wouldn’t recommend

For a small town like Te Awamutu, Storyteller is a refreshingly new and modern restaurant, it feels straight out of one of the big cities! The food is absolutely amazing, portions are generous, and the overall style and cleanliness of the restaurant is superb! Definitely recommended P.S. I love the picnic box!

So good! This place definitely lives up to the great reviews it has received and just may become our go-to place for date night.nnI was able to easily make a booking online through their website on the day we wanted to dine there. When we arrived, our table was ready and waiting for us. Hubby ordered one of the specials - a bbq bacon burger with tater tots and I ordered the roast butternut and cauliflower steak.nnMy husband quite enjoyed his burger and tots and so did I, he shared a few bites with me!. I was a bit disappointed in my dish, the butternut was fairly dry. When we were asked how things were, I was honest about the dryness of the butternut and our awesome host offered to bring out some more sauce for it, which was the perfect solution and I devoured up the remainder of my main! The whipped ricotta was especially delicious! I could have eaten a bowlful of just that!nnWe decided, after tasting how delicious the mains were that we had better try a dessert. We went with the hazelnut molten cake or something like that. However, I was quite disappointed when I bit into the cake and discovered it had actual nuts in it. While I like hazelnut flavor, I do not like nuts in my dessert. My husband didn't mind, however, as it meant he got to eat the majority of the dessert himself!nnWe definitely plan on coming back to try more of everything! Oh and I just realized, I didn't talk about the atmosphere, though that has been covered in other posts, know that it is a cozy, perfect spot for a date night or even a dinner out with the family!

We had our team Christmas lunch at Storyteller yesterday, and it was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and well looked after. The service was warm, attentive, and perfectly timed — nothing was too much trouble.nnThe food was the real standout. Every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavour, and arrived fresh and hot. There was a great selection to suit everyone, and the portions were spot on. The atmosphere was festive without being over the top, making it the perfect setting for a relaxed team celebration!
