Melon Cool #cocktail in Frederic's bar. The outdoor seating is ideal for hot summer weather. Not so simple: pub food was upgraded with chili sauce, a bit of marinated beetroot and microgreens. I love the calamari dish and the tender squid rings with chilly, spring onion and Aioli. A good place for liquid morning tea to flow into lunch lol. Good food great service.
Overall: Venue has potential, needs air conditioning though. Service good, food very nice.
Food: It's called Meat and Liquor so don't be surprised at what's on the menu. Good selection of veges though. Ordered 400g Angus beef steak and it was what was on the plate with sauces and that was it. The entire steak was edible so no gristle or fat. I wanted medium rare but essentially got medium but out was still enjoyable. Wife had lamb rump steak (300g) and that wad also very nice. Veges were green beans with goat curd and also spinach and brie. The spinach dish was very nice, the green beans were OK but the goats curd wasn't my flavour. No space for dessert as three mains were plentiful.
Service: Good service, food was good timing wise and follow up provided once served. Water was kept topped up and all the waitresses were friendly.
Ambience: Decor is nice, it's not crowded or rowdy even with other diners close by. Biggest issue was the lack of air conditioning. Yes it is rather warm with temperatures of 28-30 degrees but that isn't totally unusual for New Plymouth. The two ceiling fans were totally inadequate and despite only wearing T shirt, doors and jandals while sitting beneath a fan, I was still far too hot.
