   Absolutely shocking Service. We made a booking for my birthday in March this year . When making the booking we checked that they were still doing there Monday night Steak meal special and they assured us that yes they definitely were. So we made the booking for Monday night the day of my birthday. So I was really looking forward to drive from ChCh to Ohoka and to my steak dinner in the country for my birthday. We arrived at Platform and told them we have a booking and gave our name. The person said sorry we can't honour your booking our kitchen has just closed and we no longer do the Monday Night steak meal special. So we had to leave and I was so disappointed and then had the stress of trying another restaurant to dine at,at short notice . Update: The Platform Bar and Restaurant responded to my above review saying we arrived after 8pm this is not true we arrived before 8pm.Also they claim they tried to ring us at 7:45pm there was no evidence of this on our landline phone.No message left and no number on caller ID.Even if their phone number was private it still would have showed on caller ID the word Private and time of the call. Also ringing on landline was pointless as we would not have answered or got any message as we were arriving at restaurant.They did not try to ring me on my cellphone either .I had my phone with me and on and if they had rung and I for some reason did not hear my phone so missed the call my phone would have shown missed call and the time of the missed call. So I don't believe that they rang me on landline or cellphone.Also they claim that we were not told that they do not do the Monday night steak special. Yes we were .We were definitely told by the person who severed us "Sorry we do not do the Monday night steak meal deal anymore,things have changed and we know longer do this deal and this has been taken off the menu ,so whoever you spoke to when you made your booking told you the wrong thing"

   Went today for lunch. Have had the Roast Lamb pizza before (probably a year ago), which was the reason for the trip. I was not impressed. Straight cheese pizza, little lamb and a few chunks of pumpkin. Wasn't impressed. Last time it had big chunks of lamb, pumpkin, potato, onion with gravy over it. Was a literal roast on a pizza. This time was highly disappointed.

   We came for lunch and wow the food certainly impressed and was very reasonably priced as were the drinks. However the service was lackluster, considering it was lunch and we were the only people there we had to get our own menus (which were grubby as!) and had to go up to the counter to order. Really bad fly problem at this place which is why we wouldn't return but could not fault the food or comfort.

   Not bad. The burger and schnitzel were very nice. The restaurant had a cold draft which was unfortunate - we also thought the food prices were higher than what you’d expect at a comparable establishment. We also found the TV with the music videos playing distracting and unseemly!

   The Platform has a lovely family feel about it. The food is fresh, crisp, and the waiting time not too bad at all. We had a Sunday Had a quick yarn with the Chef on the way out and commended him on the brilliant fish chowder I had partaken of. Was great. We had stopped for Sunday lunch. Excellent portion sizes and and great attention to detail. Thanks team.

   My Wife and I have been multiple times and got something different each time and has all been amazing! The staff are always happy and polite, the Pizza has the perfect crisp to it, the Chicken burger is great! Can’t recommend The Platform enough!

   Stopped at this great pub whilst out on a Sunday drive. I checked the posted reviews and we weren't disappointed, it's definitely worth dropping in if you are in the Ohoka area.

   My sister, Aunty and I were recommended to come here by our Ohoka hairdresser. The waitress was absolutely one of the best around. So friendly and lots of smiles! Our food was delicious. Not long to wait either. What a gem of a place out of town in Mandeville. Definitely recommend this place! Pizzas, burgers, fish n chips, all sorts, great selection of food and very reasonable prices. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
