Drinks & Nightlife
Great pub with a busy vibe. They do good pizzas (though a bit pricey) and great pub food. When you're hungry you have to chase the waiters a little though!

Food Scene
The Hunter and the Nest are well worth it. It's not for those in a budget. Breakfast menu runs at about 18$ per meal.

Great value takeaway. Absolutely excellent food. This place is always buzzing and they keep opening new venues within 100 metres of each other just to fit all the customers in! Best Tikka Masala in town.

Best steak pies in town. Best sausage rolls. This is a widely accepted fact, not just a subjective viewpoint (which are widespread on pie quality). The proof is in the shortage of pie choices after lunch...so get in quick or even book one: 09 846 2355

Excellent sweet and sour pork, dumplings and the beef in spicy oil is great too. It is open late (about 11 to 12 pm) but is CLOSED ON TUESDAYS so don't get caught out (as we have). And they DO NOT TAKE CREDIT CARD. Also, if you are thinking of calling to make an order, don't bother. They make food when you are there.

Great Tom Yum Soup and Curry Puffs. But be careful, it is very spicy! You can ask for mild but you are then missing out on the experience a bit. The best thing about this place is that they do free delivery for orders over 20$ which is incredible. Phone 09 845 6936. NOTE TO GUESTS: because of the gate and bell arrangement at the house, it is best to let us know you are expecting delivery so we can look out for/let them in and send them down to you when they arrive.
