The Puhoi Pub Stables Est 1879

Delicious food, friendly staff nice outdoor vibe +dog friendly dogs must be on lead which is great for my dog . We came here on a weekday afternoon. We had the vegetarian pizza and the squid, recommend both dishes!! Love how you go and grab your own food from the kitchen, real homely. Cool spot, nice drive from Auckland a cute little store across the road too.

Always a pleasure to visit here. Everything about it is just so relaxing and enjoyable. Good menu to choose from whilst sitting in the huge outdoor area. Inside is filled with gems from the past such a hive of history from the a world ago. Well worth a visit in fact a must.

We were pleasantly surprised by the charming interior of the restaurant—it really has its own character, and we absolutely loved it! The meals were simple yet delicious. It's a nice find in a lovely small town! The service was good, and the staff were very friendly. They weren't serving coffee that day due to a broken coffee machine, but that wasn't their fault. Overall, it was a unique dining experience for us.

I finally had the chance to visit the world-famous Puhoi Pub Hotel Stables in New Zealand. It was a scorching hot day, and the beer was refreshing and enjoyable. This spot is perfect for both small and large groups. They have a kitchen that serves delicious pub food. However, I was a bit disappointed by the limited beer selection considering the size of the place; they didn’t offer Radler or Tiger Low Carb. On the bright side, their own tap beer was quite satisfying. One downside is that parking is quite limited. I went on a weekday late in the morning, and I can’t imagine where people would park on a busy weekend!

The food is excellent, and they offer a great selection of local beers. I highly recommend the beef nachos (which have a mild spice), the cheeseburger, and the calamari. The pizza has a thin crust and is delicious, though I personally prefer a doughier style. The service is outstanding, and even if you're not in the mood for a full meal, it's definitely worth stopping by for a beer and enjoying the historical ambiance.
