Bar pub in New Zealand

“Just want to thank Tim for doing an amazing job. He was so accomodating to our last minute request to come back for drinks in the covered outdoor area. Such a lovely atmosphere fairy lights, fires and tasteful surrounds. The small touches he made like water in stylish brown bottles and beautiful cheese platters and antipasto boards made for a great vibe. It would be a perfect place for a 40-50-60 th birthday . A great chilled relaxed stylish space, even room for a dance floor and your own bar. Thanks Tim Marnie”

“A bit upmarket. Quiet and the food was delicious & well presented. It was a bit cold, but after talking to the staff, they turned the temperature up a bit, which was great. Staff were fantastic and good parking right outside. Quite pricey, but we were there on a deal, which made it good value.”

All the wines we tried we liked and we bought 6 bottles because they were all so good. Food was awesome too and they had some really great vegan options, the pizza was so good and the home made hummus to die for, which was a nice change. Highly recommend.”

“We had such an amazing time on the fire truck! The team were able to secure us a booking with short notice, and were flexible with what we wanted. They communicated with us well and everything went off without a hitch! The experience on the bus was fantastic, drinks are well priced and yum. The sound system is fab and we were blasting our tunes the entire time. Such an awesome way to make an event special, or add some extra flair getting from A to B. We were so well looked after and our entire group were blown away with the quality of service and how easy everything was. Would highly reccomend! The price is totally worth it for all the fun you get!”
