Wood Street Freehouse - Mangawhai

Had a really good evening here, we were camping nearby and searched on google for somewhere to have a few drinks and possibly some food. Wood St came up and looked good from the reviews so gave it a go. On arrival we were warmly greeted and grabbed a couple of drinks. Some good banter from the bar too, with a wide selection of craft beer. The place was half full when we arrived with a band warming up. We mainly intended on staying for one drink, but after seeing the food coming out and reading the menu we were convinced. Three beers each later and a pizza and some wings we called it a night. The place was packed by the time we left and had a lively atmosphere. Would not hesitate to return.

Very friendly service. The main kitchen was closed on a Sunday night but the pizzas were great. Highly recommend the Pork Belly Hoisin and the Tandoori chicken pizza.

Coming from a family who was raised in hospitality. I can honestly say, I haven’t seen quality like this in years. The food was fast and tasty, but the friendliness and the welcome we experienced from the staff was an absolute game changer. Not to mention, this is a dog friendly environment and our dog was so spoiled and welcomed by all. Literally the highlight of our trip. Ignore any rubbish reviews written about these guys as I can confidently say they are phenomenal!! Thank you Team see you tomorrow!

I don't know why wouldn't anyone give this place 5 stars! Excellent food, wonderful staff and overall good vibes. We got the garlic and cheese pizza and hot wings. Both tasted great! We didn't mind the wait, considering how packed they were. Great job guys! Will be back for more soon!

The braised brisket burger and salt n pepper squid were amazing. Great food, fantastic service. Free retro video games, loved playing Galaga, and Donkey Kong. Highly recommended.
