The Puhoi Pub Hotel & Stables...Est 1879

An awesome old pub with great food and great beer!!nPlenty of outdoor seating which is well suited for dogs too.nThe burger with blue cheese was delicious.nThe seafood chowder was amazing too, sorry no pic of that!

I bloody loved this place.nnOf my entire trip around NZ, I think this was one of my favourites and I can't really explain why. Maybe it was the blues americana music playing in the garden, maybe it was the first pub and pub garden, or maybe it was the rain... But all of it made me feel right at home after a few days of jet lag and the hustle of Auckland.nnThe pub displays the village's history on its internal walls. The staff were super friendly. The grub was great, although quite large portions if you're just popping in for a snack. The BLAT sandwich looked and apparently tasted awesome bacon, lettuce, avocado, & tomato, in case you also had no idea!nnI would go back in a heart beat.

Great place to enjoy a good kai, live music & plenty of outdoor seating with shade or sun. Lovely friendly staff. Enjoyed our motorbike ride here on Matariki Day.

A compulsory stop when passing through Puhoi or looking to enjoy yourself on a day out up North. Super easy to get to with the new motorway extension and such an historical/iconic spot. Great range of beers on tap and little boutique stores and a general store at the foot of the pub grounds that are well worth a mosey through too.

Historic pub and eatery with regular live music. Usually well attended on weekends, especially motorcycle riders, with bike parking out front and large carpark opposite
