The Brown Pub

The Brown Pub is a charming local pub. It has a great atmosphere, friendly staff and the locals of Methven are very welcoming. They have a great selection of beers and food on offer. There is sometimes live music and a fireplace to sit by - it's simply a place you want to come back to with friends to spend a nice evening :

Had a $20 seniors lunch. Chicken schnitzel salad and chips with ice cream sundae. Very good.

A clean, friendly old style pub. The staff were warm and obliging. Room, beds and kitchen very clean. Enjoyed the company of other travellers also staying. A great atmosphere. The bar food was disappointing, no love in that food. But everything else was great.nJudy McGee

Sunday drive from Christchurch for a bite to eat.nNot a great experience.nFood was terrible. Just ordered bar snacks but couldn't finish due to it being so salty. Ordered I think it was called the bar basket or something like that. Had hardly nothing in it. Picture added is what came in it. They had salted it for me instead of me salting my own food. It was uneatable. Sausage was disgusting. Would not recommend this plate to anyone. No paper towels on the table or cutlery, plates were out down without a comment from staff. Left 90% on the plate and left.nAlso premix coke was flat.

Nice pub, good vibe, live music on Fridays. Food was ok.
