I didn't really like the food that much. The portions were extreme, and I'm an American! the bartender was very good though. more

There did not seem to be much atmosphere here. We sat out the back in what felt like an old car park with a tent erected over it to give them more room The meals were large and very nice more

I didn't find much here to write home about. Nothing to complain about either except that it was a bit sterile. more

We had lunch here to try the lamb burgers. Nice portion, reasonable price. Had it with a cold beer. I think Jimmy Buffet would thought this was a cheeseburger in paradise more

This was our first eating stop in Rotorua, the food was good (the chips fantastic), it was warm, and the staff were very nice, however they didn't have much local knowledge. We would go back again. more

This place is in a wonderful old building, I think used to be a police station at one time. It was very busy and the ambience was great; a log fire burning away too. The food was great and the portions huge, so don’t go for the starters otherwise you won’t be able eat all your main course. more

Good, solid grub. Nothing flash and well priced. They have a good range of beers and it is very popular. The Pub is in the old Rotorua police station and they have good displays of historical items. Don't go there if you want to sample New Zealand's excellent wines - the wine list is certainly not their strong point! Very... more
