Went down south twice this year and visited both times. This is local Lake Hayes pub and restaurant and they've got arguebly one of the best gravy sauce I ever had. The Thursday cheap steak was classic and faultless. Best of all their service were top notch. Would definitely visit this place everytime when I visit Qtown & Lake Hayes.
We visited The Hayes several times when staying nearby, and loved it!
Staff are welcoming, very friendly and efficient. Great selection of wine and beer, and the food that we tried was delicious! My partner loved his lamb shanks and mash and the salmon croquettes were fabulous!
On a Friday night it was bustling and busy, but service and food remained fantastic.
Definitely recommend this great little local spot if you’re around Lake Hayes estate ☺️ We will return in the future.
We ordered the fish and chips and ribeye, which we enjoyed. The fish was exceptional. The pizza could have been better. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was chill and homely.
We stopped here for a couple of quick espressos and an app - tried the salmon croquettes, which were delicious and came with a yummy lemony herb sauce. The staff was friendly and quick to help. A great spot for a quick snack or meal, and they have ample patio seating!
Update - returned here for breakfast as it was close to our stay and they have generously sized breakfast options. Service was quick and friendly!
Very nice neighbourhood cafe bistro that serves cafe food and drinks like Frozen Magarita which was served half the glass, smaller portions than most places. Fish & Chips was yummy along with the Salt & Pepper Squid Rings. Parking can be crowded on weekends though.
Yummy food and amazing service. We went a bit later at like 8ish pm and the staff were very kind and understanding.
The food here was very good and we especially appreciated this place having the version of ketchup that is served in America as we are not a fan of the jammy ketchup that is typically served in NZ. We had fish and chips and the chicken sandwich with shoestring fries (like McDonald’s fries). Both were large and delicious portions. I would eat here again for sure.
Best local restaurant. Nice to deal with the ownet. Premium service.
Nice place, the steak promotion on Thursday night, totally worth it.
Very good experience, very friendly service, like the juicy beef and ribs. Highly recommend to anyone.
