We loved our cosy night out in Arrowtown. The food was just great, the Rabbit Hot Pot a real winter warmer and the selection of beers fantastic! The Tap is an easy stop off for anyone, couples, families or groups of friends. The relaxed atmosphere and friendly, personal service makes this our favourite place in all of Arrowtown. And on...

Has a good range of food and at reasonable prices too. .....When you're on holiday, sometimes it's nice just to relax, have a beer, enjoy decent... More

We loved this lovely little pub. Had unbelievable burger with beetroot, great sauce, onions and all. My husband had a delicious pork belly sandwich, which was also delicious. Really warm, sunny day so we sat outside in the sun, sipping good local brew and eating our meal. Friendly staff - great place. Sweet little town too.

Great playground and well priced drinks. We were there late and inside was a bit too 'pubby' and outside too cold to stay with the kids for dinner but an earlier dinner or as we did drinks is perfect.

We arrived in Arrowtown on the day that the Tap was having some sort of music festival.

The range... More

Any visitor who visits Arrowtown, must dine at the Fork & Tap great Blue Cod & Chips, also marvellous ambience. Autumn Festival starting this weekend this would be a great stop off for Lunch & come back in the evening for Dinner. Excellent choice of local wines.

We spent 14 days touring the South Island on our motorbikes and had the privilege of eating out everywhere we went. We had lunch at The Fork and Tap one day and all four of us ordered the Roast Beetroot Salad. I'm gluten-free and they happily ensured my salad was made accordingly. All four of us raved about how much... More
