Description

An old-school pub-restaurant in Howick, recently energized by new owners, offers friendly service, hearty, well-priced meals and standout Sunday roasts. Regulars praise daily lunch specials, schnitzel, rump with pap, cappuccino presentation and Friday live music. The interior is cozy with a winter fire while the outdoor area feels dated. Improvements and an evolving menu are underway, though patrons note occasional pricing oddities for soft drinks and rare kitchen hiccups. A welcoming local spot for casual meals, drinks and music.

This is a very interesting pub located at Howick's old station. The atmosphere is quite lively, making it a delightful find. The roast on Mother's Day was delicious, accompanied by a personal serenade. There is also safe parking available for your vehicle at the back of the pub.

I made another stop on my quirky pub tour, and it brought back plenty of memories. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious!

Whenever we are in Howick, we always go here for a meal and drink. My favourite is chicken schnitzel with the cheese sauce. The staff here are always so friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is very chilled. And in winter time there is always a lovely fire roaring!
