Reviews of The Freeport with Cleaver & Co
J.
Good food, nice atmosphere, however lacking availability on the menu. Top two choices for dinner were unavailable- beef burger and the fish n chips. Also choice of beer was also unavailable and they hadn't restocked.
Had the brisket, was tasty, could of been smoked for longer however. Chips were good too.
J.
Wow, the food was absolutely amazing, worth going. Every time I have been I've never been disappointed. 10 out of 10
A.
Ribs are same as next door. I assume they share kitchen with them. So I recommend full ribs rather than a half ribs. Gin is a bit cheap one. Briskets were not so great.
We actually ordered brisket sandwiches but we got just brisket steak. The portion was big, but the taste was just average.
Just casually you can visit. The outdoor space is lovely unless it's windy.
M.
Love the vibe to chill and have a beer. Not to mention great food as well.
V.
Pleasant staff and set up. Wait for food was too long for us and it wasn't busy. Red pepper salsa was expected but got diced tomato which I don't like. Other diner was happy so I won't niggle further.
F.
Awesome, took a break here from xmas shopping. Ordered fish tacos hoping they weren't too heavy and was pleasantly surprised. 3 tacos with portion battered fish with a lovely light coleslaw with lemon wrdge on the side...delicimo...
Lovely clean bathrooms awesome service from staff and the docile distancing set up just right.
Recommend this venue highly.
D.
This is the first time we have seen this end of Bayfair completed and this new eatery area gave us a good vibe with several food and drink options available.
We ditched our shopping bags in the car and came back to check out the options for an evening meal.
The Freeport drew us in and immediately we were greeted by the very friendly waitress, who recommended the Grilled Zucchini Salad as a delicious and Gluten Free meal, which my wife absolutely loved.
My Freeport Burger was also very tasty and a good sized meal.
This is a very relaxed place with excellent staff and we will definitely recommend this place and most likely will dine here again (maybe after we try the other eateries first).
j.
Great service and fantastic food, we come back each time we're in the area.
L.
Food was enjoyable, as we were the last people dinning the staff were really good about that. Great atmosphere.
Thanks
S.
Great venue with an awesome private function room. It is a bit of a goldfish bowl but it has its own access to the bar. The food was exceptional. We had a great night.
D.
Perfect place to wait while the lady's off shopping 🍻🤙🏽
K.
Really friendly people. The food is really good & so are thy prices
S.
Great selection of food and drinks with very helpful staff. Book to avoid disappointment.
J.
Only ok. Had burger there once and it was during a rugby game. Maybe that's why. Anyways we had burgers and the buns where burned so much, that we only taste the burned taste. Asked the service guys but the said it looks how it should look. Don't think that to be honest. Wouldn't go again.
Mehh/10
T.
Delicious food, great service. Thanks!
R.
Good food good location and friendly helpful staff..antipasto was delicious and the tuna cerviche served generously and to perfection.
G.
Great atmosphere, staff were very friendly and helpful, good variety of drinks and food available, loads of space with some great areas inside and out, definitely worth a visit.
t.
Lovely pub and eatery;really nice people,really good food and atmosphere, would highly recommend ❤️❤️❤️
M.
Great local spot at Bayfair that we dropped in on a Saturday evening. Good range of food options - including fresh seafood, small plates and pizzas, plus a solid range of craft beers from Little Creatures. There's a bunch of outside tables and a huge inside area with a kids play area. Stand- outs were the fresh seared tuna and the pizza, plus we had amazing service from all the staff. Will definately be back when we are back down later this summer.
M.
Enjoyed the experience and the pizza and beer. Friendly service...see you again.
C.
Great place for a drink and a bite to eat, service always good.
E.
Delish burgers, good service and kids were happy!
S.
Great atmosphere staff very helpful making suggestions of what to have with what. No waiting time after we sat down a great dining experience overall. Meals were hot and sauces complemented the meal. I would recommend this place to anybody.
J.
Loved it
Great food
Had a lovely afternoon there
T.
Great food huge portions great service great atmosphere cool decor
H.
We had lunch here on Monday. We chose it because he had a range of thinks. The portions are well worth what you pay for and the quality was amazing. The service was great. And the aperol spritz here is done right. Normally bartenders in NZ don't know how to get the ratio right. Thanks for a lovely dinning experience to the entire team.
m.
Really good food, great for family's and couples. Would definitely recommend this place!
J.
Yet another wonderful meal. Great service. It is our local
C.
Beautiful atmosphere, delicious menu and great customer service.
A.
We went to The Freeport last night with my husband's work place. Ordered a few drinks and ordered dinner. Had the prawn pasta which was AMAZING. Best pasta I have had in a long time! Big ups to the chef and lovely staff who served us. I'd definitely have it again!
M.
Friendly staff, great food (not expensive) great ambience, a number of different areas to eat or drink - there is a sunny outdoor space. Well worth spending some relaxing time at this establishment
E.
Great atmosphere and the staff were excellent. We had a table of 10 and unfortunately we had a pretty lengthy wait. The food was considered fairly disappointing at my end of the table due to presenting/tasting more like bar food which was not expected considering the price. I felt the shrimp pizza could do with some culinary idea's thrown at it, and more cooking as it was bland on dough...sorry Freeport, love your vibe though.
S.
The food is amazing here every time! After 10+ visits, I absolutely can not fault the food, the service the atmosphere, the price, the whole place!
I’m super fussy and Free Port never has disappointed!
The meat platter is so succulent , the pizzas from the pizza oven are delicious, the antipasto platter 👌👌
The salads are so tasty 😋 too
P.
Will be back to this place soon!!! Yummy well cooked food that is thought out and very tasty. Served to the table fast and a great range of drinks available both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. A fun and contemporary ambiance with friendly staff. Bookings optional or walk in for a great dinning experience. Pro tip: Order the chicken wings you will not be disappointed!!!
M.
Nice atmosphere, nice nibbles, great service. Definitely visit again.
R.
I loved both my chicken wings and the sauce that came with.
L.
Freeport is a good eatery, but there are currently some supply issues with several dishes.
The service is great and the food comes quickly from the kitchen.
S.
Loved the live music.
Good value all round
J.
Always amazing service, food and great atmosphere. Our absolute favorite place to take the kids and a night out with friends
M.
Food was OK. Service was a little slow. Not many patrons there.
i.
Great food and service , relaxed vibe
A.
Eating at the Freeport with mates is probably the best thing you could do this spring. Or this summer. Or next fall. Or next winter. Yes, they have a food for every mood. And mad desserts to boot.! With the ability to order from next door(Cleaver & Co) as well, the combinations here are potentially limitless. Good portion sizes. Full flavor. Great service. Would recommend !
K.
I like a pizza in this restaurant. So delicious! My kids like kids menu and desserts ice cream is fantastic!
s.
Yum food and a great atmosphere...
D.
Really really good food. Recommend you go I try the $60 platter. Well worth the money. The pub beer is really good too.
D.
Somewhat small menu, but good beer
S.
Loved the atmosphere of The Freeport. Great place to take your children. I was able to relax while my two young children enjoyed the play area they both ate all of their meal and loved it. The staff provided amazing service, they were friendly and very accommodating. We will diffently be going back again soon.
M.
Food was OK - calamari was soggy, menu doesn't have enough range - not easy to follow. Server was annoying tbh. I just want to eat and talk, not be asked every 10mins if everything is OK and if she can take my plate away.
S.
Great food!!! Best juicy chicken burger ever. Four of us went for lunch and we all ordered something different and all rated our food 10 out of 10. Very generous portions! Great atmosphere and nice staff. Price was reasonable too. Will definitely go back :)
D.
Great place, could do with more bar staff when we had a function booked on a Friday night. Loved the live music.
L.
Great little place for an evening get away with friends, lovely atmosphere, set right beside bayfair mall giving access to everything you could think of including countdown, cotton on, food court, schetchers, and much much more, plenty of parking available with wheelchair accessibility, loved it would def recommend
P.
Good collection of tap beers. Tasty bar snacks.
C.
Wow this place ROCKS. Top decor, friendly staff and great service. The food was quick to come out and was so good. Just loved it.
M.
Beautiful place to stop in on a hot day, service was awesome we were greeted straight away. Our wait time on food was not great, not many punters in at this time but it took atleast 30mins for burger and fries.
C.
What a fantastic place. Amazing food and the service was fantastic. My two young children were entained by the play area and actually ate all their food they loved it. Will diffently be going again soon. Loved the chilled out atmosphere.
H.
We only had dessert and coffee, 3 of their deserts were not available and couldn't choose what we liked to have, but we ended up enjoyed what we had. The man who served our table was very helpful and friendly.
R.
Yummy food with a good selection on the menu. Service was good and fast, along with getting the meals
S.

Lovely lunch, granddaughter is vegetarian and they made her an amazing pizza which wasn't on menu, very impressed will definitely come back
M.
I think.... It new we went twenty mins drinking water before drinks hit...... Platters need too have minimal of three choices.... Sea food meat dishes or what we had .. artichoke breads olives shaved ham salami..... It was ok.... Rest of menu looked great food next to us looked dam great. ..... Beer was good and wet.. price was fair .... I going back there id like to see this get 5 stars
S.
Love this place! Great food, service and atmosphere
Z.
Food was really tasty and the overall aesthetics of the restaurant are great. Service was quite slow considering they were really quiet when we visited, had to wait a while to have our order taken. But I will say they were all super friendly and polite.
B.
Had a bloody great night! There was a function on next door so The Freeport was busy but the staff kept on top of things and or meals didn't take long at all. Will be back for sure!
T.
Great food, awesome service and atmosphere.
R.
We had a few beers and some kids ice creams from here. It's a relaxing place to visit. The ice cream came with toppings in small bowls and the kids really enjoyed them.
J.
I had their house burger, yum and healthy enough too, good chips, friendly staff up for a yarn about cooking (I was going over my weekly meal plans), I didn't get any napkins though which is much appreciated especially for a bearded man such as myself
