They do have a fairly decent menu selection from which i chose the Brewers Breakfast, my other half the Piglet Burger and the other two a Brewers Breakfast as well. Strange as it may seem to have with a breakfast i ordered one of thier peach ciders as a drink. Now that was delicious.. Maybe because i like my ciders? The orders came out pretty quickly. Everything in my breakfast was cooked just i liked it. In a breakfast i really pay attention to the poached eggs , which i can be real finnicky about .These were cooked to perfection. The yolks not hard or even a little hard but soft and runny that the yolk ran out nicely ( if one can say it that way!). Everyone else was happy with thier meals and me having the biggest sweet tooth was the only one who chose a dessert. Though a simple one of a chocolate cake it went down well. So, anyway overall . On the food front no complaints. Particularly impressed with the poached eggs. Service was great, especially with the speed of and throughout the meal the girl coming by occasionally but not being overly intrusive to ask how things were. Price was as you would expect...so so, and the atmosphere was very good. Well worthy of a 100% rating!!

Wonderful baked items, fresh eggs, and thoughtful beverages. My favorite is the "Healthy Breakfast", pictured here with Scott's Salmon Gravlax & Horseradish Crème Fraice. It's heavenly and my most ordered breakfast. This is always the perfect start before a busy day either at work or exploring the Waikato region.

You can take your pick on indoor or outdoor, upstairs or downstairs. They have a few different menus, we went with Geoff's sliders platter from the bar menu. Felt pretty instant, nothing to write home about. They have a pretty large drinks selection, but I wouldn't say they have a large craft beer selection as they advertised. The waitress didn't know what an IPA was when I tried to order one. Generally a good place for a large group of people if you are not too picky on the food and the drinks.

They were attentive in bringing water and clearing our used glasses. I ordered one of the large, shared platters for appetizers and the food was really nice.

That said, it was a great venue for a group and will happily go back in the future.

My steak meal had a piece of plastic in it, which I can live with but mentioned it at the counter anyway. I wasnt trying to get a discount but the girl told me the price I handed her the money and after I mentioned the plastic she said she would let the manager know and he come over and offered me a discount, the girl then gives me back my change which was less than I expected so I asked for the receipt. She then had to get the manager to come back and do a reprint of the receipt and I said the bill went up not down and straight away he said oh you didnt order wine did you? And I said no especially not in the few minutes i have stood here. He didnt realise the girl had already given me the total before he was called over to do the discount. He had knocked off $6 discount but then added a $10 glass of wine. Definitely check your receipt here! All the food had a ridiculous amont of parsley sprinkled on it. The restaurant was freezing cold aswel as the last time we come. I am glad we had jerseys with us.
