There is a pleasant and whimsical sense of humor in this cafe; framed pencils of famous cartoon characters and bird houses on the wall. Solid kitchen and good coffee. We are only familiar with breakfast menu as we enjoy taking short weekend drives around Katori and Kelburn and this place is one reason why. Generous spaces, warm room.
Came for breakfast today just after 11am and it was really nice. Coffee was very good. The man who served us today was really nice and friendly (he mentioned he’s from Christchurch). I chose the eggs on toast and added sides and my partner had the full breakfast minus the black pudding (they gave him an extra sausage).
A great local pub, excellent selection of beer and great service. We went with friend on a Thursday and 5/6 of our party had the build your own steak. I had the Vegeta Bird burger which was lovely and I enjoyed the veg and halloumi. I am not a big fan of chips but these ones were well worth eating. The others all enjoyed their steaks but did mention that they weren’t all cooked as asked, this wasn’t a big problem. Our waitress was tested a little by the Texan in our party who asked for his fried eggs to be medium. The chef sent her back to check what was meant, none of us except the Texan knew. He explained he wanted them cooked for 2 minutes longer than normal. He was happy with them.I finished with a creme brulee, it was perfect. The pavlova was enjoyed by the Texan and the brownie was declared great but we weren’t sure about the smoky ice cream.All up, a great pub with great food.
EDIT: Came back again a few months ago and brought along family who were visiting from out of town. Unfortunately the experience wasn’t on par with what we had experienced before. The wait for food was a lot longer and then one of the mains in our group of four came out cold. The flavours and standard of cooking was also not as great as on the previous visit. Unfortunate because we’d talked it up to our visitors and were disappointed it didn’t deliver. Been meaning to check this place out for a while and finally did last night.This place doesn’t disappoint, great staff, good atmosphere and the food was spot on. We went a long to watch the rugby game and even though the place was packed they were happy to find us a table and the food came out in great time. The menu has a good selection and food was to a great standard. Happy to make this place our local.
Great spot for live music, delicious craft beer and a good pub meal. My friends and I love steak night on Thursdays and the rotating beer selection is unbeatable. Great staff, too!
Very pleasant local pub though a dismissive head barman put me off with his attitude. Went here with friends for the Tuesday Quiz Night which was good fun.Meals are reasonably priced, but unimaginative and surprisingly small portions for pub meals. There was no problem adapting my dish for special dietary requirements which was excellent.Overall a nice atmosphere, pleasant decor and decent food make this a good local village pub.
Average unfortunately. Such a pity as Karori really needs some good eateries! Service is ok, food average pub-style meals. Good for a bit of live music and a beer.
