the only star is for the kids play area otherwise it would have none nothing good to say about this place! cold, below average food, terrible service, slow inexperienced staff. all round was huge let down wont be back definitely wouldn't recommend read more

Food and service is very poor here , things like the Jalepeno poppers are the same as what you buy in the supermarket etc, and had to ask 3 or 4 times to order more drinks - when will these places figure out to put QR codes on every table for ordering! read more

Decor is nice, a lot of rules hanging around the place, and a bit overpriced. While my friends who ordered the special got an insane amount of meat and veggies, the other portion sizes were quite disappointing. I was aiming for a burger, but when I found that at +/- 18 bucks a piece they did not come with fries, I decided to go for a chowder, which was a bit pricy compared to other places and considering the mediocre location. Service was friendly but a bit odd when I asked about the sides and the waiter did not realize they were not actually on the menu. Pizzas and eggs benedict looked small. Not horrible, but wouldn't come back. read more

The main purpose of us dining at The Postman's Leg was because we wanted to try their Quiz Night. I would be lying if I said I enjoyed the food.. I ordered the Classic Beef Burger which cost $16.50 which did not include any fries - was not very happy with this, the beef pattie was dry and all you can taste is charcoal and I believe was not worth the $16.50, Burger fuel has burgers that cost less and taste better, not to mention the size of the burger. My other team mates ordered other various burgers and they weren't too pleased either - the main problem was the meat was too dry, maybe they can think about putting the chutney/ sauce on top of the meat in the bun? We also ordered dessert - for the amount you are paying you would expect a rather generous portioned sized serving. We were severely disappointed - a couple of the team ordered the "Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate", which you get a slice of cheesecake, a small spoonful of chocolate mousse and a cookie. The only thing chocolate about it was the mousse and the sauce that was drizzled around it. In conclusion, we probably won't be going back to this venue - the food was mediocre, however the atmosphere was pretty good - the host was good and there were a lot of teams. read more

The Postman's Leg - Beef burger - Gastropubs Near Me - Auckland, AUK

Came here for a meal with friends. Meals are expensive and very hit and miss. Most of us enjoyed our meal but the classic beef burger is $18 and does not come with fries. My bf devoured it in 3 bites. I think its disgusting that they cant serve 80c worth of chips with it!!! Another friend got the very pizza and it was just what looked like Watties frozen veges and cheese. My friend and I split the spicy chicken pizza and it was good. Over all service is ok and ambiance is good but over priced. read more

Hmmm... LOVE the look of the place. Expansive outdoor garden area with tables, a sandpit for the kiddies & a stage for bands to play weather permitting. Visited the Postman's Leg yesterday for a birthday party. It was a busy Sunday afternoon, especially since it was 'International Childrens Day' & they had advertised a bouncy castle, face painting and a balloon artist for the kids. Reading reviews on www.menumania.co.nz I was wary about this place & purposefully didn't arrive with much of an appetite. Seeing as the occasion was a lunch & the rest of the table were eating, we ordered a tandoori chicken pizza ($22.90) to share between my partner and I. We noticed a server carrying pizzas to another table & our hearts immediately sank. They looked tiny but we had already ordered. When our pizza arrived we weren't surprised that it only looked to be about 10 inches in diameter. For $22.90 I felt completely ripped off. The sauce and cheese were tasty enough but there were large bubbles covering the base which made the toppings lop-sided and left parts of the pizza bare. The pieces of 'tandoori' chicken were so bone dry they were inedible. Seriously. Like so dry that I didn't have enough saliva left in my mouth to swallow it and I had to spit it into my napkin. When we informed the server of this her reply was "oh yes, we have had quite a few complaints about this recently". No apology, no offer of a discount or free drinks. The other diners at our table had mixed reviews of their food, with two of them saying their steaks were incredibly tough. Everyone agreed the prices were very steep for the quality of the food. Glancing into the kitchen through the window it was apparent why our meals were lacking. No one in the kichen looked older than 21. The Postman's Leg is a great looking place, but they can't solely rely on this to keep the punters coming back. We will not be returning anytime soon. read more

The Postman's Leg - Inside restaurant / bar - Gastropubs Near Me - Auckland, AUK

Glenfield has needed this place forever - a nice, inviting place to come in for a proper meal and a drink that isn't a bloody fast food chain!!! I've no idea why it's taken so long to get something like this in Glenfield - I think it's something to do with that fugly, monolithic mall sucking all the life out of the surrounding streets. Anyway, this place used to be the Glenfield Tavern which was like somewhere you might find Jake the Muss having a Lion Red (okay, slight exaggeration). Now the ugly duckling has turned into the proverbial swan - it's the Postman's Leg now (apparently after a legendary local amputee postman) and it's really rather good. It's an inviting place now with a vast amount of outdoor space, and a nice relaxed decor inside. It's even child friendly - there's a sandpit to play in and everything. In short, it's a perfect fit for a suburb of families. The food is good honest gastropub fare - think steak, ribs, pizzas, burgers; and the drinks menu is extensive. Service was slow, but very smiley, so we didn't mind - it was busy for the Wednesday quiz night. In all, this is a wonderful addition to a suburb deprived of good restaurants. The instant popularity is a testament to how much Glenfield has needed this place. read more

I was slightly disappointed when the Glenfield Village Tavern closed down, as it had a rugged, slightly sleazy charm to it. It was a real tradies bar, and you could enjoy a cold beer while watching the latest sporting event, and they frequently held interesting and exciting events. The replacement is the very shoosh Postman's Leg, and while the food is much better and the service now visible, it will never be the same. The Postman's Leg does cater for quiz fans like myself and they offer interesting items on their menu. My favourite being the pork crackling and the utmost of decadence... The Pavlova Pina Colada. Yum! Okay, it is much better, and the old place was a dump. read more

Love this place - it's a fantastic place to have a casual beer after a hard game of squash read more

The Postman's Leg - Great beer - Gastropubs Near Me - Auckland, AUK

See all

Glenfield's local watering hole, but most importantly the venue for Bitchin' Bingo once a month with Mistress Viv! Offering pub-style meals, warm atmosphere and easy parking. read more

Family friendly, casual and everything kiwi. This bar always blows my mind. It has such a fantastic atmosphere and large outdoor space. It's designed to look like someone's backyard (even features a giant washing line in the entrance way). This bar caters for all. If you've got kids you're in luck as it's such a great space for the kids to run around in and at the same time intimate enough to have a nice dining experience. They serve all the typical gastro pub styled food, yet still very nice to consume! Pricing is average but no more than anywhere else. Great staff that are friendly and always recommending food and drink which is always a great help. If you've never been this place is truly a destination. read more

Went this morning for brunch with the family. Ordered a chicken burger, kids burger, eggs bene and a muesli. First the muesli never made it to the table and we had to argue with 2 staff to get it ordered, one just said "but I didn't charge you" - "but hey mate this 7 yr old kid is starving so please can you get some muesli". And then the food came after more than half an hour (place was near empty) Kids burger - stale buns - so stale it was rock hard and completely inedible. Chicken burger - stale bun and ice cold cheese making it completely inedible Eggs Bene - Ice cold salmon and terrible muffins that I'm fairly certain are homebrand from across the road at Countdown. Ice cold salmon with warm eggs and gross muffins - barely got through 25% Muesli - raw oats in a bowl filled (yes filled) with orange juice. Congealed yoghurt clumps floating around with 1 grape, 1 blueberry and 1 slice of banana. Poor girl was so hungry because of waiting that she actually tried to eat a few bites. Disgusting and inedible. So we talk to the manager. Granted she said sorry and apologized from the kitchen. But then blurted out "I'll give you a 50% discount and that all I'm going to offer". Well actually it was inedible so you should have not charged us at all but okay as not to make a scene I pay the $33 for the few disgusting bites we had (actually the coffee was okay). I had a $50 voucher (that was paid for with $50 nz currency) however the manager says "we don't give change or vouchers back so either get something else or we keep the change" - Sorry what? Okay if you wont give cash change over $10, fine, however this is real money why cant we get a voucher worth $18? Or even better we have a loyalty card that basically is the perfect solution, put the change on there. "NO" So the only option is to pay without the voucher. No very grumpy me swiped my card. Staff were completely inept, kitchen was completely inept, policy on managing situations like this is terrible. No ownership, no accountability. Not the first time this place has given us a bad experience but this time it was too much. read more

They have done a huge job in resurrecting the old girl into a respectable destination, the staff were warm and the beer was cold. Nice place for a family outing. read more

Enjoyed the new look of the place warm and we'll spread out place. Outdoor indoor and private area for functions. Food was great and served at a fast pace which was nice too see. Overall would go back again. read more

Living in glendfield for 2 years, I have been in the postman's leg many many times. My husband, my son and me love this place because it's suitable for the all family, we love to bring our friends and relatives. The sand pit is the must that brought us there when we knew our son could play while we were relaxing a bit after a long week or day, then the music band every week-end during summer give a festive atmosphere, the big garden outside (with only one exit, so you kid won't escape ;) ) where you can enjoy the sun at the end of the day, the lovely staffs, quizz nights, etc.... for a suburban pub, the postman's leg has it all! The food is nice, don't expect a michelin start but clearly when you consider what the place has to offer in terms of entertainment, the friendly and efficient service and also the quality of the ingredients, the price is very fair! Though, the desert menu/offer really needs some improvement. They also often renew their menu which for me is a good point, so may be they have already done it for the desert menu... I love their beer batter fries.... and margarita pizza... they also have pretty good burgers ! If you haven't try it yet and you are in glendfield, you won't find any better family pub in the north shore, so definitely a must go! read more

Had dinner with 12 people. Food didn't take to long to arrive, however my my ribs came without any sauce and my wife's pizza came missing various toppings. Post mains things took a turn for the worse, we had to find our waitress to be able to order dessert!! Service is thoroughly lacking, doesn't seem that staff have much care in the world. A larger table behind us waited over 2 hours for their mains to arrive, only to have to send them back.... Such a disappointment as the food was actually quite nice, pity they fail at everything else. read more
