Great atmosphere! Perfect stop for a pub lunch with a good range of choices. Friendly and attentive staff. It’s worth being a regular stop if you are passing through
Went to here last week on a Friday night and it was not very busy at the time, had to wait for ages for our order to be taken and then our drinks were forgotten. Our meals took 45min to arrive and were less than average.We were just starting to get into conversation when a band stared setting up and that was the end of that. We moved next door to a nice tasteful bar and cafe and enjoyed the rest of the night in peace.Will got there for dinner next week and check it out.
As a new to town local I tried Redoubt when we first moved here and thought it was crap, but since a new chef and a change of some staff I have to say they service is great and the food gets better everytime we go there. The pork belly and duck breast is to die for and they are always adding new and interesting meals.
I’m a regular at eating at restaurants, (or pub meals as this place has. I visit Matamata on a regular basis, so have tried all the options, and have been to the Redoubt a few times in the past. This will be the last time. Cant say Ive ever been impressed with the meals, way over priced for what you get. Don’t know if it is a bar or restaurant. Don’t seem to get table service (they do have a note on table telling you to go to bar if they are busy), however they were not busy and we got no attention from staff. For the prices charged i would expect full service with restaurant quality meals, not no service and pub quality meals. Nice range of beers and wines, but once again seemed to be way over priced. Could expect those prices if they were on waterfront in the viaduct in Auckland!! Meals were slow to arrive once we ordered at the bar, with one being wrong, and mine burnt. Not the first time being burnt either. Personally wont be going back, and would not recommend unless you have no kids and don’t mind paying for over priced food and drinks.
Was passing thru Matamata on Sunday and wondered why everything looked shut! One place looked open so called in and discovered there was a power cut to area so this place had hooked up a generator for the day – nice one!Was greeted by smiling (if very very busy) staff and quickly had our order taken. Had fantastic garlic bread followed by the best steak sandwich I have had in a long time. Enjoyed a couple of beers and listened to the live music for a while before hitting the road again. Will definitely call in again if back this way.
The other day I decided to choose Redoubt as a place to eat and treat myself. On the menu there was a pasta ‘special’ and of course being a fan of pasta I ordered this dish. Throughout my ‘close to’ or ‘hour’ wait for my meal, a staff member changed the specials board (was sitting right next to it) and after asking where my meal was, i was then served the NEW pasta they had just put on the menu. Staff then proceeded to make out like I was lying and the new pasta dish had been there the whole day. I spoke to the girl who served me and she admitted to me she remembered me ording this certain pasta. I told them not to worry about cooking anything else as I had waited long enough and decided to pay for my drinks and leave. The service was shocking as there was no apology for my wait OR for the muck up with my order. Am very dissapointed as I am a local and will now not be going back there again.
yum yum yum!!! They have the most amazing chicken tenders wrapped in bacon and the stone bread is worth so much more than what it is priced! (shhh though) Am not too impressed with the change to the curly fries though!
