Expect good banter and big meals at this busy pub, which serves food throughout the day. Corn fritter stacks, rib-eye steaks and pub mainstays like fish and chips feature on the menu, while a pool table and mixed cast of locals and tourists keep the ambience lively.
Heading north out of Punakaiki, the tavern's on the left before you cross the Porari River. Buy wi-fi vouchers from the bar.
