Atmosphere great, food so so.

We loved that they had vegan options. They had a separate menu which was great. Food was so so. Pasta lacking in decent amount of veges and had no sauce, but pasta itself was nice. My husband got the burger which was very tasty but was very small, I had to share my pasta with him to fill him up, couldn’t really find the kumara on it. The price was up there, almost $30 for small burger and chips, no Pattie.
We did eat out on Boxing Day and they were down a chef, so hopefully just an off night.

Pros: Atmosphere, Staff were friendly, Popular place for general public

Cons: Serving size of burger option, Price compared to meat option was high

Vegan menu!

I chose here because it has a dedicated vegan menu. I chose the mushroom wellington which I didn't particularly enjoy but liked that I had plenty to choose from.

Pros: Dedicated vegan menu, Lots of options

Cons: On the more expensive side

Great Options

I loved this place! The workers were so kind and helpful. The food was spot on! And the beer was delicious as well. They even have vegan desserts, although I was too full. The Wellington had subtle, yet perfectly balanced flavors!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Kind staff, Amazing food

Amazing food, lovely location

I got the Mushroom Wellington, and a side order of fries. It was so delicious! The flavours blended very well, and it was the perfect sized portion.
They had a seperate vegan menu, so it was easy to find the options. Good price for the amount of food as well.

Pros: Great food, Pretty interior, Good options

Great service & food

A few vegan options, including starters, mains, and dessert. Stylish bar restaurant and the food was beautifully presented. Staff were excellent - very helpful and attentive. Definitely a worthwhile spot in Invercargill.

Generous servings, lovely server

My daughter and I really enjoyed our lunch and we were thoroughly satisfied. They happily made the stuffed mushrooms gluten free for me. We especially loved the chocolate lava cake with icecream.

Pros: Lots of seating, Classic pub atmosphere, Friendly staff

Not bad

Surprised to find a place with a proper vegan menu and a variety of options. The food was good and filling, even if a bit basic.
Service was good and friendly.

Tasty and mega filling

I went here with some friends, and we all enjoyed our food, though I will say it was sooo filling haha. It’s good to get a good amount of food for the price you’re paying, for once, but it was actually too much for me, so if you have people with small appetites, sharing could work. I had the burger, which was pretty tasty, though not something you could pick up and hold on your hands because it was kind of everywhere, and my friend got the pasta (it had olives, capers, tomatoes etc) and I actually thought her pasta was very very tasty - I’ll order that next time haha.

Pros: Delicious food, Value for money

Cons: Almost too much food on one plate haha

Dedicated Vegan Menu!

I had the Vegetable Stack & my Girlfriend had the Sundired Tomato, Caper & Olive Arrabiata. The vegetable stack was amazing to begin with, until I got down to the plain salad with couscous it was just bland. Unfortunately they forgot the maple glazed cashews & Dijon vinaigrette. Was overall a vegan good meal :). Both dishes were very large portions & definitely worth the price point! My Girlfriend could only get through half her pasta, we ended up taking the remainder home and having it for lunch the following day.

Pros: Vegetables were done beautifully., Vegan desserts available!, Lots of vegan dishes to choose from

Cons: Vegan brownie was burnt., Too much plain couscous., They forgot a portion ingredients :(

Had a pretty decent vegan burger, with asparagus, very nicely cooked mushrooms, hummus and other stuff, wasn’t the best bread buns.
The vegan pasta dish sounded quite good, I’ll probably go for that next time.

Pros: Delicious beer.
