Reviews of The Goodhome Marlborough

T.

Had dinner here on Sat night . Signs on the door told us that they weren’t operating at their usual capacity due to staff isolating so we were a little worried . Turns out the food , service and drinks far exceeded our expectations. We all ordered multiple light meals and we were impressed with every dish . So fresh and delicious . Oh and the cocktails …….the Aperol Spritz was AMAZING . Not only was everything delicious , it was also excellent value for money . Thanks everyone

S.

Great atmosphere and fab food! We had the fish n chips (blue cod!!) and lamb shoulder.. both were really nice. Recommend for a great feed and awesome atmosphere.. we'll be back next time we're in Blenheim!!

C.

Our party of 5 & a 7month baby arrived for our booking, to find another lady with the same name had claimed the table. Anyhow, the staff were very apologetic & found us a place to dine. The food & service was grand. Thanks heaps we'll be back.

T.

Very well presented pub, with a great selection of drinks -- including masses of gins, both native and international. Slightly lacking in service when we visited and surprised to find it closing an hour before advertised time. Am sure it could be better on a busier night...

V.

Had an impromptu lunch (didn't book) with a friend. The restaurant and bar were very quiet. A little disappointed with the lunch - chips were out of a packet. Service was good, food was OK - have dined there at night recently which I enjoyed more.

V.

Had this amazing lamb backstrap at The Good Home. I would definitely recommend this to everyone. The meat was cooked to perfection and just melted in the mouth. All the flavours were working together. The gratin with goat cheese was paired so well with the jus. Beautiful Summer/Autumn flavours. Just devine!! 👌❤️🥰 #devine #autumnflavours

T.

Lovely decor. Such tasty food. We had a selection of side plates.

E.

Super nice service, great selection of drinks and the food is to die for!

D.

Lovely food, nice atmosphere. Friendly staff.

j.

Good menu. Service was a wee bit slow. Would go again.

M.

Cool ambience, cozy place. Good for chilling out with friends without too much noise. Some interesting appetizers too.

C.

Friendly and helpful staff and I enjoyed their food. Really enjoyed my cocktail 😊🍹

A.

Excellent atmosphere; quaint and very friendly staff. I had the King Charles Lamb, by far one of the best meals I had in Blenheim. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone, and will visit here again.

D.

Wait staff are awesome, have great recommendations. Philly cheese steak sandwich was delicious, as were the bao buns. Ginger kiss was so good Chocolate self saucing pudding had no sauce and was incredibly dense Was offered a replacement but was incredibly full by then Also have a great selection of drinks, especially gin and their cocktail menu is well done.

R.

Went in on a Wednesday afternoon for a couple of drinks. Just as we arrived another large group arrived and there were already four other tables occupied. The two staff that were working were amazing, polite, attentive, moving with purpose and generally doing their best to make sure our visit was as pleasant as possible. It was exactly what we needed after a busy day, thank you.

J.

Loved our meal and drinks out, staff where all very friendly & helpful

K.

Great meals and atmosphere. Friendly staff

K.

Amazing spot, such helpful and sweet staff who are working really hard because they seem understaffed and given the other reviews, maybe that happens fairly often? The food was amazing, the atmosphere and decor was top notch! The yorkshire puddings changes my life! :)

J.

Great atmosphere. Very efficient and pleasant staff.

H.

Good atmosphere, great wait staff. Snapper was over cooked, venison was tough ... to call it well done would be doing the chef a service! Deserts small but delicious.

А.

Like the cocktail Madam butterfly. Not a very big choice of food. Little bit slow and relaxed service. Once in my cocktail was no alcohol (I am pretty sure) ☹️ Nice atmosphere though

A.

Good was good. Really liked the Korean fried chicken

H.

Great atmosphere, great interior design too! Service was friendly and prompt. Food was delicious and high standard. Would appreciate more vegetarian options in the main selection though.

S.

Very nice atmosphere, friendly service. I had the lamb which was tasty but a little bit too cooked, would have preferred it a bit more rare. Dessert was yum.

S.

Great staff and yummy food!

c.

Lovely.food, great music and a fab way to see in xmas

J.

Awesome

G.

Our motelier recommended this bistro and we found it very pleasant. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. I am coeliac and after consulting chef he gave me a list of meals that are gluten free. A very enjoyable meal. I would be happy to return.

M.

Nice surroundings, prompt friendly service, simple food done well.

I.

I love a good caesar salad and it's got to use cos lettuce otherwise I won't order one. The menu stated Cos lettuce was to be used and when it arrived I was pleased to see Cos lettuce but it didn't take long to see only 2 pieces extended from the centre of the plate with all the other ingredients piled on top of the hidden shredded iceberg lettuce underneath. Very deceptive and dishonest. Come on guys, do you really think I will be coming back.

H.

Came here for dinner after reading the reviews and recommendation from a friend and was quite disappointed with the food. Bao Buns were dry and had no sauce at all, and the fish tacos felt like they were stale. Bruschetta was good though. Nice atmosphere.

H.

Went here with a friend for lunch and she got the beef burger and I the Philly steak and cheese Sammy and we both loved it. Nice venue and great service. Definitely will be back in the near future

R.

Reasonable choice of meals but very tasty. Good range of beers. Friendly staff. Worth a try. Prices what you would expect.

J.

An awesome experience with some amazing food.

P.

Great food! There were a lot of us and we tried a lot. We had most of the shared plates and they were all fantastic. The only one I wasn't crazy about were asian ribs, they were a bit dry, but the rest were awesome. We had stakes and lamb and they were great as well.

C.

My husband and I stopped here 8pm at night and they told us the restaurant was too busy although we could see empty seats available. We sat at the bar seating for our dinner, a nice assortment of foods to choose from. We had a very nice pàte, I liked this one the best. We also got the KFC- Korean fried chicken, flavours very nice but the wings themselves are small and the onion rings are good. A bit $$ but not too out there.

G.

Beautifully cooked steak with a glass of quality sav blanc to top it off for the 3 girls. I had the red gurnard and a couple of pints which was also great. All especially given it was 2.30pm when we finished our late lunch. Couldn't fault anything at all. Recommended, and we will be back again early October

f.

Great place. If you want a good hearty meal and/or a drink you won't go wrong here. Plenty of room to suit large groups too. I had a steak which was spot on. Came with generous veggies and plenty of taste too. Definitely will go again.

C.

Took awhile to get meals but food was beautiful. Lovely pub definitely recommend. Will definitely go back.

R.

Friendly helpful service and great food. Very popular place I think as it was nicely busy on a Tuesday night. Tables are nicely spaced out so it feels private and spacious but still warm and cozy. Highly recommend the corn fritters - beautifully balanced with a creamy coleslaw and smoked paprika mayo. Sooo good

J.

Great little beach, short walk from The Portage

D.

Had a good meal here blue cod and chips. The fish was lightly battered crisp with fresh succulent cod. The chips were nice, hot and crispy on the outside but soft buttery potato inside. The salad was also fresh and tasty.

J.

I may have just had the best fish and chips on the planet! Good bar selection too. Service in the bar area is weird and inconsistent - do you go to the bar and order or do they come to the table? If they came to the table first do you wait for them to come back? We decided no. Other than that would be 5 stars!

A.

Not bad but you wouldn't go out of your way to go here. No low alcohol beer on the menu and food was average

E.

A pleasant environment. We arrived early and were accommodated in the bar area until our table was ready and able to bill drinks to the table. The menu had a broad selection of dishes which included smaller plates for those with smaller appetites with the ability to choose one or more dishes as desired. The mains were a good dinner size, not for the faint hearted. The sides offered a couple of vegetable dishes which was great. And it was all reasonably priced for the size of the dishes. We received great customer service and they offered us the option of paying the bill in full or paying separately. I would definitely recommend The Goodhome to others.

a.

Very nice meal. Thank you.

s.

Honestly it wouldn’t matter if they spat in my wine - the steak was that good. I had the fillet ($39) and it was cooked exactly to my request - rare - and was melt in the mouth. Has to be the best cut of steak in Blenheim

D.

Friendly staff, good food & beer

R.

Seemed to be the only place happening in Blenheim at the time. Not terrible at all. Staff are nice too.

A.

Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Will be back.

J.

Love this place. The food has always been delicious and a wide range of beers on tap. Highly recommend

A.

A cordial welcome and a pleasant lunch. Food (popcorn clams; leaf salad; Reuben sandwich) of good quality, not slathered in sauces, not overly seasoned but not bland. Suited our tastes well. Service friendly, a bit slow but not to a 'have-they-forgotten-us' degree. Next time we have business in Blenheim we'll head for this establishment for a meal.

C.

Outstanding eye fillet... live music last night (Saturday)... awesome wine list and love the decor and service! New Summer menu that is coming sounds great to! Will be back!

J.

I've been there a few times now, just for some drinks, for food or both. In summer like in winter I love the atmosphere. The food is good with a lot of choices. Prices are correct as well. Good service everytime I went there. Will go again for sure. Special mention for the French Martini, a pure wonder!

L.

Espresso martinis, utterly divine. Yorkshire puddings filled with tender road beef and gravy -- beyond delicious! Great menu, incredible gin bar (it's going to take awhile to work through all the different varieties, good thing I'm not a quitter!), and really lovely fresh decor. Perfect place to catch up with friends for a drink.

J.

Very lovely place,I love the food xx

J.

The service and atmosphere was truly a 5/5. The food however.... Was average, flavorless and dry. Big shame as the bar and chef were so accommodating. I went on a quiet Sunday night. Sorry guys.

L.

Staff were great. Oil used for frying needs changing. Strawberry sorbet didnt taste anything like strawberry. A oncer.

L.

I almost gave this five stars as it hits all the right points..... the decor is modern, stylish, comfortable with a sense of fun. The lunch menu was interesting and tasty. The service was friendly and helpful, although it was a little slow at times. I was all ready to go for gold and give the five star review, but then I went to the toilets and horror of horrors I saw that there was a pokie room. Sure enough there was some poor sad soul sitting there feeding a machine coin after coin. It really surprises me that a modern contemporary cafe / restaurant would need pokies. Sad. The toilets were well decorated with great wall paper on the ceiling, but the floor was disturbingly sticky.

S.

Service was great but some menus are not so much appreciated. Need more balanced and vegetables pls.

F.

Love the decor and food! Definitely a gastro pub highlight of Blenheim, make it your first stop for a drink and evening catch up! 🍻🍻

M.

Great service good meal

k.

Great range of gins, nice ambiance, friendly staff but what I thought is a joke are the jalapeño poppers I mean 4 small ones for $14, well should have gone for another gin instead

C.

Gwendolyn was amazing! So friendly, helpful and great with our kids! She helped make the experience great for me also!

I.

Great food nice friendly staff nice surroundings but music to loud

R.

Slow service but nice staff. Burgers were pretty good although a little bland and quite Pricey for what you get.

B.

This is a franchise gastropub. Everything about it is perfectly adequate, it won't blow your mind, but the food, service and ambiance are all OK. A culinary Toyota Corolla. Although they don't serve enough bread to go with the meat platter, so if you're getting that ask for enough bread.

P.

Dinner with friends. Delicious food. I had seafood chowder. It had salmon roe, sour cream and thinly sliced fennel as a garnish. Terrific Much nicer than heavy cream chowder

V.

Fantastic service, beer was nice with a good selection. I had the slow cooked beef, which was delicious, however the chips were of poor quality and it was a little weird to have a cold salad as the accompaniment.

A.

Very good food with quick service

T.

Staff to fall in love with. Food was actually excellent too (just to slow, but still acceptable) and other guests also looked like they really enjoyed their food and their time there.

(Translated) It's a decent place. This place was recommended by a local... Salads and main menus all taste good. It's different from french fries and simple fast food. The snapper (dome) grill is also good. Beers are also delicious. friendly. However, since there are 4 people, you have to think about the cooking time for about 20 minutes and wait patiently. Very salty ingredients sometimes appear. For dessert, the gingerbread was also uniquely delicious. Mains range from $25-35. Small dish or side dishes range from $8 to $20. I recommend it if you don't have a place to go There is a French restaurant called saveur and I like it there too ^^ (Original) 괜찮은 곳입니다. 현지인추천받고 간 곳인데...샐러드나 메인메뉴들 다 괜찮은 맛입니다. 감자튀김과 단순한 패스트푸드랑 다릅니다. 스내퍼(돔)구이도 괜찮구요. 맥주들도 맛있습니다. 친절하고. 다만 4인이라 그런지 요리시간이 20분정도는 생각하고 여유롭게 기다리셔야하고, 매우 짠 요리재료들이 간혹 등장합니다. 디저트로 진저키스도 독특하게 맛있었습니다. 메인은 25-35달러선이구, 스몰디시나 사이드는 8달러에서 20달러까지 다채롭게있어요. 마땅히 갈 곳이 없다면 추천합니다 다만 근처에 saveur 라는 프랑스 식당이 있는데 거기도 좋아요^^

(Translated) Top. We had to wait a long time here for the diner even for New Zealand standards. It was worth it. A 4 season salad was crunchy and came with a perfect salad sauce, the oven baked bread with the garlic butter served separately was crunchy and the lamb was just good. Appropriately seasoned and tenderly cooked. (Original) Top. Zwar mussten wir hier für das Diner auch für neuseeländische Verhältnisse lange warten. Es hat sich aber gelohnt. Ein 4 Season Salad war knackig und kam mit einer perfekten Salatsauce, das oven baked Bread mit dem separat gereichten Garlicbutter war knackigjund das Lamm war einfach gut. Passend abgeschmeckt und zart gegart.

A.

(Translated) Delicious! The oven baked bread and the 4 season salad is highly recommended. (Original) Lecker! Das oven baked bread und der 4 season salad ist sehr zu empfehlen.

(Translated) It is a bright shop. (Original) 明るいお店です。
