Description

A handsome, cozy pub in Arrowtown blends rustic charm with a lively country‑pub atmosphere—roaring fireplace, eclectic decor and both indoor and sunny outdoor seating. The kitchen turns out generous, well‑priced plates: hearty pizzas (smoky BBQ, carnivore, Hawaiian), fish & chips, fries, roasts, salads, plus excellent coffee and rich desserts.

The beer list is strong—about 18 craft taps and hand‑pulled cask ales—with knowledgeable, friendly bar staff. Service is fast and welcoming; you order and pay at the bar and food is brought to your table. Expect a bustling, sometimes noisy room at peak times; arrive early for a quieter visit.

What a charming little place! We visited on a day when, unfortunately, they didn't have a chef (thanks, COVID). However, we enjoyed some delicious coffee and a pastry from the selection they had available. I highly recommend this spot; the staff are really nice and very friendly.

I discovered this café in Arrowtown, and I must say it's a fantastic spot with delicious food. The photos of the Eggs Benedict speak for themselves! The café is small and quite busy, so I recommend arriving early to fully enjoy the experience. The staff is very helpful, so don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. You can also see the food being prepared in the same area, which adds to the atmosphere.

While searching for great cafes, I came across this one, which had top ratings in Queenstown, and I decided to check it out. I wasn’t disappointed! The coffee was excellent, the food was fantastic, and the little location is charming. I highly recommend it; this place serves some of the best coffee and food in the area. P.S. The brownie is rich and indulgent, but absolutely delicious!

Warm, welcoming staff who worked hard to get us seated at a busy time. Great indoors outdoors seating options and flavourful, home cooking food options aromatic coffee. Recommended!
