Whitianga Hotel

Absolutely would not recommend. Waited nearly 1hour and 30min for our food. Still hadn’t received so went to the bar to ask how long it’ll take, for the manger of the restaurant to tell someone we were with who was a minor To F off. Multiple people were asking for their money back as the food hadn’t come out in a ridiculous amount of time. One of the younger workers had to pull the manger back as he was getting more aggressive towards our group. This is an embarrassment for NZ bars and restaurants. Wouldn’t waste your time, do not recommend

We visited twice over New Years weekend as one of the only places open to eat. Extremely disappointing and would not visit again We were in a group of 10 and all meals came out at various times and one meal was forgotten! We forgave as was busy but when we went for lunch a couple of days later the service was even worse ... burgers came without bacon and cheese as advertised and yet again one meal totally forgotten. Spoke to the manager who made the " we are busy " excuse. Not acceptable!

Got food here. Hubby and I ordered two different burgers. We could've made better at home. The buns and coleslaw are identical to the ones from countdown. It didn't have bar or restaurant quality. There was nothing special about it.

Stopped by for lunch. Poor quality of food we ordered burgers which were all supposed to be the same but arrived with of differences between them. Also ordered fried chicken but it turned out to be a salad with small bits of fried chicken in it. I will most likely not return here due to the quality of food served here. Outside seating was also not adequate, benches with nails sticking out of them and falling apart quite a big health and safety risk for all. Hopefully this encourages some change.

Terrible communication and service from staff. The manager was very rude telling us to F off. Only half the food came out at different times, with large gaps. Waited over an hour and asked for refund. Ordered and paid for GF pizza and half an hour of waiting they come out and say they don’t have any GF bases after half the food came out. Disappointing. Do not recommend.

The food was an embarrassment. The nachos looked like dog food, the coleslaw was brown and undressed. The chicken was all chopped up and dry so the chef could see it was cooked.Service: 3/5

Tried tandoori chicken pizza can't even taste any smoky flavour in chicken its better to sell it as chicken pizza not TANDOORI CHICKEN PIZZA HATS OFF TO THE CHEFService: 1/5

Went there for dinner last night. Had pork belly burger. Tasted weird so I didn't eat much. Felt sick after and have spent most of the day finding toilets urgently on my long drive home.

Old school bar. Plenty of space. Standing only style bar. Great selection of beers. Service good.

Went to the Whitianga Hotel for lunch with our friends and the service was very poor! The bartender didn’t want to serve us and when our food was ready he didn’t bring it out to us like he did with the other tables of people, we had to get it ourselves and by that stage it was cold. I do not recommend going thereService: 2/5
