Reviews of Five Stags Pirongia
j.
Nice dining experience.
We had pizza's which were really tasty.
Very reasonable prices, great decor, clean & tidy.
Highly recommend if you are driving through and feel like a bite to eat.
O.
Whenever we pass this small town, we stay for lunch /dinner at this place. It's always busy and no surprise as food is delicious, meal sizes are enormous, and the range of beer is quite good.
V.
Great food and decor. Well worth the drive to Pirongia.
G.
This place was awesome. I would love to go back and eat some more. We went with a couple of friends and ordered almost everything on the menu and tried all the local beers. They even had wine on tap.
A.
New management and looking for new ideas to encourage a younger crowd and keep existing patrons happy. Fish and chips a little expensive at $27 but beers varied and cold
J.
Beautiful place weve been here a handful of times and ordered something different, we bring the children and they have a blast outside in the child friendly area. This area is also sheltered, so if its raining the children can still play. This time round we've just found the most yummiest fish and chips! Also available to take away. So when we feel like fish n chips we will order from here, be worth the travel. AND the staff are always friendly!!
V.
Great atmosphere excellent service, and the food was top notch
W.
Great meal, family friendly beautifully rustic with great details. Friendly service and fun atmosphere. Fantastic outdoors covered area. Will definitely be back.
T.
I attended on a motorcycle poker run and even though the service was a little bit slow, the food was amazing, along with great service. There was 94 in our group, so understandably it took awhile for everyone's orders to be completed. The food was well worth the wait and I'd definitely go back there again. Great beef burger and chips. The steak sandwiches looked pretty good too. The tomato sauce is really yummy!!
J.
Awesome atmosphere, great menu, well priced. Very nice and warm community feeling! Worth the ride out from Hamilton. They also help with community fundraisers which is beautiful 💚. Great quiz night..went there last night! So beautiful that you a consolation prize for our team too! When helpimg community we are indeed all winners! First time I forgot to take food photos but the Haloumi was yummm and food on others plates looked yummmers too!
T.
staff are friendly and food is very nice and main meal was fast, then seen to get forgotten about. Kids were waiting for their ice cream Sunday, in the end we had to ask. Very enjoyable and would recommend.
S.
Very rearly do these words ever come out my mouth let alone get typed.
I have just had the most AMAZING Burger in my life
Venison Burger with Kumura Chips
Honestly the best Tasting Burger I've ever had
Succulent, Juciey & full of exceptional flavour
Absolutely Loved It
Being a Daughter of a Chef
Five Stages you have set me a new bench mark
K.
That's where u go on Friday night before getting up the mountain on the next morning. Fun place
S.
Amazing food, great place to stop for lunch, excellent service.
R.
Lovely pub. Was only their for 1 drink
l.
Nice place. Salad was basic and meal I ordered was huge. Great for a large eater so if you're a small eater, go for the kids menu. No vegetarian options and not gluten free
D.
Great service & friendly staff. Always a pleasure to stop in for a great feed on the way through.
M.
An awesome country side stop & pop-in for a Burger 🍔. Friendly & helpful hosts.
M.
Food was lovely and the staff are good.
A.
Pizza was yum and the toppings were really good. The ambience is nice as well. Great spot in Pirongia.
L.
The local pub, visited while staying in the area. Reasonably priced drinks, didn't try the food. Staff were reasonably friendly and helpful, and one of the few places in NZ where they pour Guinness correctly.
D.
Great meal lovely place really impressed
B.
Great meals and lovely fast service.
s.
More like no stags. Zero venison on the menu.
j.
Hey guys, thanks a lot.
It was bit late and kitchen was already closed but one of the staff talked with chef on duty and they cooked for us beef burger and beef ribs, both plates were so delicious. 100% recommended.
M.
Absolutely the best for atmosphere, quality of food, friendly helpful staff. Simply AWESOME!!!
J.
Great food and welcoming atmosphere, good drink recommendations. Portion sizes were too big to try the desserts, but would love to come back because they sounded delicious! Highly recommend the NZ sweet potato fries- big winner.
M.
Good food. Good service. All good 👍🏻
E.
I had the beef burger; really good, fresh and had a beet on it which was a great addition. My wife had the chicken pasta salad. Her meal was also very fresh and tasted great. If you are passing through it's a great stop and has a large selection of beer.
T.
Absolutely loved it I had the steak sandwich and with it kumara chips. In the 36 years I've lived I've never loved kumara chips until now!!
Thanks team
N.
Every time I come here I get the best food! Haven't had a bad meal yet! Great service and atmosphere. Also a good place to eat if you have a dog with you, lots of outdoor seating and they provide water bowls.
A.
The best meal at five stags pirongia in a long time, great service, smiling faces. Thank you, will recommend. Please keep up this high standard. Very impressed
D.
We love dining at Five Stags Pirongia with both our friends and family. The food is always delicious, and the facilities are spotless. The wait staff are courteous and attentive, ensuring they make our experiences fun and carefree.
D.
Great place for a beer after a hard mountain bike ride
M.
We went here for the first time just before Christmas and had lunch there. The food (although taking 45 minutes from ordering) was great. The portion sizes were very big, giving us great value for the prices (which were very reasonable). We will be going there again soon. Great food, great service also. Recommended.
L.
Great food great atmosphere with friendly staff..definitely worth it.
A.
Not terrible, but probably wouldn't order a burger here again.
Burger was a little bland and on a relatively tough ciabatta bun - which made it difficult to eat as you had to sort of tear a mouthful of food away from the burger.
Staff were friendly and provided prompt service so no complaints there.
J.
Super friendly staff and fries is yummy. They have toddler play area at the book. They have lots of stuff to do. Its a great place to rest, relax, recharge when going for a long drive.
A.
Fantastic a real must do
J.
The beef burger is so good. It was like tasting a burger for the first time again. We will be back!
Z.
Way way better than it's pictures would suggest! This is a diamond hiding in the rough! The food we had was delicious and totally with driving to enjoy! The service is polite and friendly and it has a full bar
N.
Historic hotel with modern bar add-on.
S.
A wonderful small village pub in one of N.Z 's nicest rural villages. We find it more enjoyable during the day when its not so busy but if you want to watch the locals go in the evening. A nice area out front where you can sit under shade and watch traffic go by or a nice indoor/outdoor patio area away from traffic noise where your kids can play while you eat or just inside the pub itself where the stag heads look down upon you. Good food and as everywhere in N.Z. expensive alcohol.
M.
Good food! Beautiful place. Friendly staff!
A.
Amazing coffee and food. Meals were delicious and good sized portions. Great customer service. Quaint place to stop off at. I definitely recommend stopping here.
C.
Great experience, the place has a great atmosphere, friendly staff, food was amazing, it is a bit pricey but the quality and all that comes with it make it worth it.
A.
Lunch stop between Auckland and New Plymouth. And do stop! The pub is wonderfully finished on the inside with a logburner for cold days. The decor reminds me of a hunters lodge cross ski lodge. Lovely clean bathrooms. GREAT PIZZA! We had pulled venison with thyme and walnuts (yes the pizza) and there were heaps more interesting options. Excellent gluten free base which is difficult to find.
G.
Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, great food.
C.
First time dining here, the pork belly was amazing! Great atmosphere, friendly staff
J.
Really great place. Food is consistently good. Love the kumara chips with the deerstalker burger. Lots of room outside for kids with toys to keep them entertained.
I.
Had heard terrible reviews ... Service average some staff were lovely a couple were sour and unfriendly food was awesome wait time was minimal we would definately return for food but its not hard to be pleasant. Outdoor area was great for kids overall a good experience
A.
Excellent service and people food was delish

Had a beautiful lunch,the best salmon salad. All the meals were awesome. Lovely and clean facilities too.
R.
Nice helpful staff, clean and tidy bar restaurant place, grand for meat eaters (I'm one) not much in the way of vegetarian (wife's one) dishes... ps veggie pizza has beetroot 😊 wife's not a fan lol.
J.
Wow - what an improvement on the last time I was here a couple of years ago. A good little investment, and Five Stags have done it right! Thanks Bubbles for the divine bowl of wedges, bacon and a mountain of sour cream! Delish!
J.

Have been back several times now since the new owners and am stoked. This is exactly how the pub should be, good live music, good food, good service.
Original review:
“Hangry review. Extremely average pub tbh. Menu is average and never changes. Some of the staff are lovely, some not so much. Kind of sick of coming here and being told the kitchen is closed while seeing other people getting their food. Only reason we come back is because it's a convenient stop for a beer on the way home. It could be great with minor improvements.”
G.
(Translated) We ate a tasty curry and drank a handmade bitter lemon, this was delicious. It is a nice restaurant.

We hebben er een lekkere curry gegeten en een handgemaakte bitter lemon gedronken, deze was heerlijk. Het is een mooi restaurant.
