“Delicious meal! Fresh bartered blue cod and amazingly well cooked chippies, all the food our table had was delicious and they served a table of 6 all at the same time. Our server was great, personable and accommodating and the bar staff was great too. Great price for what you're getting, $30 for two big filets of blue cod and a great side of chips (skipped the salad)”

The kitchen at The Penguin Arms takes a burger‑led path and lets the food speak. Outdoors works well when the weather plays along. Eggs land on point and toast keeps its crunch. Combinations read bold but stay balanced.

“Did a bunch of events at The Foundry in late 2024 alongside DJs, always a solid student bar with a packed crowd, great energy, & easy to work in.”

“Great lounge. Fresh and high quality food and delicious deserts. Staff is super friendly. They also have fast speed internet and comfortable chairs.”

“Had a great NZ cup day here with friends and associates and the guy behind the bar went out of his way to get what we required even though they were out of stock, above and beyond for us mere visitors. Bar food was more than satisfactory, as was the overall service. We'll be back.”

“Such super friendly and no nonsense staff! Kaamil was amazing with incredible customer service!! He was even willing to give me a discount on the bed to help it fit into my price range - really cool guy”

“Nice and tidy place for having dinner. Excellent service, very friendly staff. Pizza was cooked to perfection and arrived in less than 10 minutes after ordering. Keep up the good work!”

“Delaney was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. She loves loves dogs which I do aswell”

“Had the Original Vegetarian pizza - so yummy and delicious. Crispy base with delicious fresh tasty tomatoes, mushrooms, onions and capsicum. The Spags Chips were moreish. Crispy, crunchy with enough potatoe-niss to satisfy your hot chips cravings. And a nice cold cider. They had a good beer and wine selection on offer too. Service was prompt and polite.”

The kitchen at Papanui Flame takes a coffee‑and‑cabinet path and lets the food speak. Sides support without crowding the plate. Eggs land on point and toast keeps its crunch. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy.

“Had a great time with Lele. Place was clean and service was excellent. Best NZ club ive been to yet”

“I think this place gets an unfair level of judgement. We have been several times in the last 2 weeks and always had a really fun night, the downstairs is being refurbished but the upstairs seems to be recently updated. They're open late, have a really good diversity of people that go there, and have friendly staff. Do they charge a door fee? Yes. But lets be honest, if you cant afford $15 to get into a club, maybe its time for you to go home haha.”
