Probably at the higher price end compared to the rest of the coffee shop we have checked out but definitely a good spot to sit and relax after exploring the seat of New Zealand power. You may see one or two guys you’ve seen on the telly if you stay long enough.
Lunch at the newly refurbished Backbencher today, with every meal receiving a 5/5 star rating! I had the roasted cauliflower bowl- not sure of exact details but combination of roasted cauli., finely chopped spinach, chickpeas in a yummy sauce???, egg, humus, and cos lettuce! I was after something light, but it was really great value for money and not mean with portions, so much so that I couldn’t finish it.
Smashed burger was perfect I am told while the pigs in a blanket accompanied with 2 types of mustard, was tasty! Bowl of fries were the bomb!!!
Staff super accomodating and polite while the decor was great! Loved the newest versions of politicians on display- a perfect Winston with scotch and ciggy, Chris L, Chloe S, David S, Judith C and Jerry B!
I always measure a good pub on their bathrooms- clean and well stocked!
We’ll be back.
A well presented pub and eatery, enjoyed the beet salad with halloumi, however there was too much dressing so the salad in the bottom of my bowl was saturated with oil. However the rest of the salad was really tasty. The decor was clean and vibrant and has great views over the grassed area to the beehive.
