HUGE slices of banana bread French toast topped with jam, bacon and a cream. A big smear of PB on the plate as well. It's a sweet - salty - crunchy (they sprinkled peanuts on top) combo that is amazing. Coffee is pretty delicious too. Nice atmosphere - very laid back. I'd come again!

It was delicious and the kitchen even split the omelette and salad for us. Nice ambience with a bit of whimsy in a beautiful building. Make sure you look carefully at the entrance and area above it when you are inside. Also, the bathroom has an original stone wall that is great. Don't miss that.

I had the chicken parcel, which was chicken breasts in phylo dough with bacon, soft cheese and almonds, plus a salad and crispy potatoes - delicious - and so large that the leftovers made a super lunch the next day. My wife had a chowder that she really liked too. Service was so-so as our waitresss seemed very busy and it took a while to get our bill, but the ambiance is excellent, with lots of historical items and a really fun vibe. Definitely worth having dinner here if you can!

Quality/Quantity - Wished I discovered this place sooner;…read moreit would have been nice to have taken the brewery tour. We got here too late and only had enough time to get a flight. Later we discovered their beers at all the local supermarkets. She told me that the flights of 8 were NOT that much beer. That they were only about 3 ounces each. Well (see picture) they were about 5 ounces each... The fight hit the spot, I was just glad I did not have to walk too far to get back to the cruise ship... Atmosphere - Huge brewery. Restaurant, bar/brewery, etc. Interesting decor throughout. Booth, table, bar, etc seating. Seating upstairs or downstairs, etc. Brewery tours 7 days a week from 10am to 5pm. Service - Good, counter service. Price - $22 NZ; $13.50 US. Inexpensive for what I got, I am surprised I finished... Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1999 (1876 brewery). I will be sure to take the brewery tour next time I am here and might even try your food. Well, I can just do your brewery lunch or dinner tasting tour!
