Reviews of Patangata Tavern

Went for lunch at the tavern, and i will highly recommend it! Remotely located, this place has its charm. The welcoming and friendly owners offered us delicious meals with generous portions. Unfortunately i didn't take pictures of the atmosphere inside, but the all place is convivial and cozy, ornamented with antique, vintage and family-oriented decorations. Appraised by locals, it's definitely worth the stop.

Amazing little tavern with a beautiful outdoor seating area cold beer and a delicious menu. Everything was cooked well and the service was very good with friendly staff.

Stopped in for lunch, what a cool spot to visit, staff (and dog) was very friendly and food was tasty, look forward to stopping in again when we're next down that way

Great pub food. Super fish burgers and the corn fritters were lovely as well. As Arney would say "I'll be back! "

Great evening meal. Great service to our table. Met some neat friendly people. Food was massive and came quickly. Just like the days before...covid. As normal as normal can be:-)

Good blast on the Harley with mates for a cold beer in a good ole country pub . What else could be better .😎

Was there for my daughters birthday, a crew of us. Service and staff outstanding. Food was YUM 😋

Stayed overnight in motor home with group of friends nice parking plenty of room we all had wonderful meals at Tavern couldn’t be better highly recommended

Always a great spot to sample a cold one when passing. Friendly efficient staff and great bar snacks

Awesome hospitality and beautiful food! Thank you for making the MG group feel so welcome.

Great country pub and atmosphere Pub meals good but over priced knock $5 off your meals then your cooking

Great staff & drinks & food. Loved it.

Great food. Nice garden bar and super hosts

Laid back country pub with great food and very relaxed atmosphere. Well worth the country drive or ride.

Good trout fishing not far from pub good food

Best fish meal ever!

It's a nice little pub. Has nice hot chips 🍟

Awesome family venue. Staff were lovely, lunch yum

Well so looking forward.to three days camping. We have a cavarenjust fot two nights

What made my dinner here is not the very affordable food which is also really nice, tasty and there’s a lot to eat but the kids corner with lots of toys and games for them to play for hours at a time! At last a place where we can enjoy our food, our glass of beer, gin or else with friends And our son had the best time playing with trucks, doll house and everything else in between! Thanks for welcoming us!

What a busy place. Obviously everyone knows about this iconic tavern. Had lunch there today with 14 others and there was only praise about the meals.

Took a drive thro to Patangata Tavern. Very worthwhile. Lovely tasty lunch. Warm cozy room. Fire going.Good service. Able to stay as long as.Very enjoyable. Give it a try.

Great place to ride to. Good food, good service, good selection of beverages.

Great atmosphere and great food. The coffee is not so great but they do offer other beverages.

This is our new local. We came in and introduced ourselves last night and were made to feel very welcome. The beers were cold, the bangers and mash just what I needed and the atmosphere (although noisy last night with a large table next to us) was just right. We'll be back.

Good country pub. Friendly dog will greet you. Good friendly service.

Great service, nice food

Glad we called in and stopped for a great natter with the owners. Perfect single shot flat white soy milk coffees. Probably the best piece of gurnard fish encased in a delicate batter served in a flash. Fresh azzzz!!! I feel mean, but the only negative was walking thru the odour of cigarette smoke at the entrance way.

Great staff and food is the best.

Love this place.. great staff, great food awesome atmosphere...

A must stop on your travels great service and magnificent old style setup *****

Great location really enjoyed the ride out there . Was welcomed with great beer and honest prices. Food arrived very fast. Kid friendly. Never been here but we will be back cheers.

Fab location,lovely food and a country pub with lots of interesting Nic knacks around the walls and a awesome Garden Bar. The staff and owners take alot of pride in their pub. I highly recommend if you haven't been there take a Scenic drive and enjoy yourselves.

Just what we needed! Owners are brilliant and friendly thank you for your great hospitality and wonderful food!

Friendly staff, good home cooked food, reasonable prices. Children well catered for.

Great food and service. Very good beer garden, outdoor dining. Will definitely be back and was a highlight of my recent trip.

Wow this place is amazing. If you love a country pub this is just the place for you. Great host, great pub atmosphere and best of all absolutely delicious food. We would definitely recommend this place to visit

Wonderful staff, place is so homely. Peaceful place.

Great selection of beers and food.

Epic service, awesome food, great atmosphere, chilled beves, choice afternoon.

Great service, great food, wonderful staff, can't complain about a thing to do with anything here. All round top place

Fantastic food, great atmosphere and a perfect place to relax and have a beer

Plate of chips and a beer. Nice.

First time I've been there in years..friendly barstaff..kids had fun outside..lovely little pub..thanks patangata🙂

Good meal and a warm fireplace.

This place is so welcoming. So much memorabilia on the walls. Small detail like the local ranch stamps on the wall.

Outstanding food, fresh fish and one of the best steaks I’ve ever eaten and the service was absolutely great, such great banter! Will be back for sure!!!

The only restaurant for miles. Nice big patio. Surprisingly modern presentation of pretty good food. A bit heavy on fried. But overall a nice night out.

Great service, food was amazing. Just a lovely place to relax.

Lovely atmosphere but the seafood platter is a thumbs down. The "salad" was lettuce and sliced tomato with piles and piles of mayo.

Amazing atmosphere, food & super friendly. Well worth a visit.

A lovely sticky date pudding & ice cream. Lovely atmosphere.

Great place, great food and cold beer.👍

A jewel in the middle of nowhere. A husband and wife team run this unassuming place, both with hearts of gold and prepared to do anything for you. We were biking through a windy wet cool day and arrived, worrying about one of our more elderly bikers. Well, the owner got her husband to drive back the way we came just to see how our 68 year old was doing. We will always remember their kindness.

The perfect country pub, Great food. Bloody good cold beers🤙🤙👍👍🍻🍻

Fabulous location, great hearty pub meals , excellent fish n chips, and an awesome garden bar.Friendly local staff and an authentic country pub that I enjoy returning to.

Good country pub. Great food and atmosphere..

Cosy warm friendly. Awesome location and destination. Fantastic food and service. Children's corner too! See you next time!

Stopped off during a great ride to Pourerere and back. "Fresh Fish Meal" - was indeed made from very fresh fish - excellent. Range of beers was standard NZ rural pub fare - no delicious and expensive craft beers. All in all - highly recommended for lunch and a pint.

Great place for lunch. Very friendly staff.

Rhonda and Arron are always so good to us and soooo welcoming. Thanks Guys. Awesome meals too

Amazing theres a band on tonight 7th anniversary

Nothing but homely

Great prices friendly staff kids area outside could do with a bit of work.

Lovely pub, great for a family lunch. Friendly people and great food

A little overpriced IMO but staff were friendly & helpful. I thought the meals were a little average for the price ($25-$28). Nice pool table.

Great lunch and very good service

This is a traditional rural Kiwi pub with hearty pub food. Think fish'n'chips, nachos, wedges etc. The tavern has a cosy interior with lots of local rugby photos and other knick-knacks, like shearing tally books pinned up next to the bar. The staff are friendly and service was good. The food was fairly average on the whole, but if you can modify your expectations (i.e. don't expect a Wellington bistro) you won't be disappointed. My partner had a steak which he said was a very nice cut of meat, but overcooked - more like medium well than medium rare. I had the "Pea, Pie & Pud" - a steak and mushroom pie encased in mashed potato with peas on top and serious lashings of gravy. I'm giving Patangata Tavern 4 stars for being a great traditional Kiwi pub with lots of character and a nice vibe.
