    Calamari buttery and tender

    Let's face it, Oxleys is the classic tourist stop in Picton. Usually that might be a bad thing. Not so. The food was excellent!!! Buttery, tender calamari. A giant piece of fish in our fish n chips and a delicious chocolate brownie for desert. Fun atmosphere in a classic building. It's worth the stop. Just be sure to make a reservation because tables can be hard to come by.

    After a long day on the ferry to Picton, I decided to eat a nice steak. It was one of the better steaks I had while traveling in NZ. Service was good.

    The fish and chips and seafood chowder were outstanding. The atmosphere was very enjoyable.

    Excellent lamb, in a prime location. Great service too. If you're staying overnight in Picton, be sure to stop in!

    If you looking for a trendy bar with tall Russian hot chicks (which incidentally I love ). This is…read morenot the bar for you. If you want a good traditional pub like pubs used to be. Where you can come in on your own and have many friends (most of them tipsy) when you leave then go no further. Basic style but a heart of a Dragon. In winter you have a nice fire to keep you warm. Dart board to play with random strangers and pool table out back. There is a bet garden aka smoking area as well The food is good old fashioned pub food. The reason why I keep coming back. Is the staff are super friendly introduce you to the locals and make you feel like a local within a few minutes Enjoy Welsh hospitality if you are not a snob you will love this place.

    Whenever we're in Wellington, we head straight for the Welsh Dragon. Mike and Joanne have created a…read morefantastic atmosphere. Phil W. pegged it in his review. When you go in, there's usually someone you recognize from the day or week before and the conversation picks up right where it left off. It's like all the really nice people in Wellington decided to hang out at this place, although, this is a really friendly city to begin with. The last time we were in town, the wife and I renewed our vows here, after about 40 years I guess it was time. Mike and Joanne were so sweet. They cleared out the back room, moved the pool table and filled the room with flowers and wedding decorations. It was beautiful. We still have one of the heart shaped doilies glued to our refrigerator at home. The food was great and there were tons of snacks. There was about 25 of us back there partying all night but Ross kept those drinks coming like an assembly line. That same night, Prince Harry was in town watching a rugby match at the Cake Tin. We were hoping he'd stop in after the match but no such luck. We thought we saw him a couple of times but it was just Mike with that silly Prince Harry mask, LOL, Hilarious. Mike's a funny guy and knows how to keep the party going. One day we were sitting and talking for a while when one of the customers, after hearing our accent, got up, walked over to the piano and played the Star Spangled Banner ( U.S. National Anthem ). Everyone in the bar stood up while we sang. How cool is that? This is a great place to sit and watch a game and make friends. It does help if you know the rules of rugby and cricket but if you don't, there'll be someone there that will gladly explain them. I love the entertainment they have. Usually local talent on the piano or guitar. The Quiz Nights are a blast too. This place would do great in Long Beach. Check out the pictures on their website and you'll get a good idea of the vibe. Have fun.

    This is more like a pub with food than a restaurant. I went on a Friday night and luckily I'd…read morebooked as it was busy. I expected a more relaxed and quiet vibe, but it was fine for a group to meet. The menu is quite vast with options for all tastes. The Ribs are very popular. I had the fish of the day which was nice. They are very accommodating of diners' dietary requirements and the staff are lovely in that regard. They will split the bill too. In general it's just a pub really - with a sports bar area. I'd go again if I was in a group.

    1841 is a local pub in Johnsonville, and they do a great job of catering for the whole community…read more They do a little bit of everything - a night on the beers with friends, dinner for a group, watching the footy, or maybe you're keen for one of the weekly quiz nights. Recently I've seen them book in a few lounge acts, and it's quite nice hearing someone crooning away while you're dining out. I've turned up when they've been packed and it's never been an issue (although maybe book in advance if you really want a table), as they're always keen to give you a good night out. The food is good quality as far as pub food goes. They have menu that changes up every few months, while their staples like the Brod Burger will always be there waiting for you. My biggest problem is trying to narrow down exactly what I want to eat, as there are always too many good options! Their drinks selection is quite decent for a local bar. They do well priced Monteith's jugs, a range of bottled beer, and also Chomp on tap for those of you more discerning types. They have a cider on tap too, and the house wine is... about as good as you'd expect a house wine in a local pub. Pro tip: check out their website and see what deals they have on each night. They do weekly quizzes and screen most rugby games (TVs around the place and a projector in the main area) - this is great if you're after a night of entertainment, but maybe pick a different night if you just want a nice meal with friends. Assuming the sport nuts and those out for a casual pint have stopped reading here, here are my tips for a good meal there: - Grab a couple starters, they're all good. I particularly like the prawn twizzlers and the breads - Get the fish - the catch of the day is always good, and they always used to do a good salmon dish too - Don't feel like fish? The burgers are all good. Everything else is good too by the way - Save room for dessert, these are pretty tasty too - Don't forget their cocktail menu. This isn't a cocktail bar, but they do whip up a nice Moscow Mule Hope this all helps, and leave your own review so i can see what you thought of the place!
