🐑🥩 phenomenal meat pies. It had been a while since I’d had a savory pie and having grown up in Ireland and South Africa I do love a good pie. The lamb and beef pies here are the best pies I’ve had in a long time. The pastry was flaky on top and chewy on the bottom and the meat inside was very well cooked and seasoned. I’ll also mention the chips (fries) as a standout here too. Often fries are overlooked at places and just thrown onto the plate to take up space and be a filler (like the place I went yesterday, the contrast between the two is why I’m making this point). Here you can tell care goes into the chips, they are thick, chunky, and seasoned with a nice salty almost sweet seasoning. The chips were so nice on their own I didn’t need to use the sauce but oh boy when I did use the tomato sauce, the combo with the seasoning was great! It also wasn’t typical tomato sauce I think they customize it too. So hats off on the chips here! (and the pies too of course but I was expecting these to be good). I also got the mag pie for dessert and this was good but it didn’t live up to my expectations and I didn’t think it was the same standard as the rest of the meal. I think some of the ice cream was still a bit frozen inside. That being said this place gets 5/5 for the lethal pies and fries combo, great, tasty, comfort food! Had to update my review to say that the chicken pot pie was even better! The sauce was thick and creamy, the pastry soft and chewy, and the biscuits fresh and toasted. It was light on the chicken but probably still the best tasting pie I’ve had.

WOW!! Best fish and chips ever! On the pricier side but portions were large and delicious and we left full and happy. Small patio with good people watching on the Boulevard. They have a kids menu with 3 items + drink. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. We will be back!

Probably the best burger I've had at a restaurant! I prefer my burgers well done and not many restaurants can manage a great burger that is well done - Bare Back nailed it! I had the Kiwilango and the beef was perfect with an incredibly flavourful collection of toppings. Great service and even though it was busy when we were there, the food came out promptly. A great find!

I only ordered the fish & chips to-go. A bit expensive but it is exactly what I had in a small town in New Zealand. Looks attractive, OMG feeling taste. I should say it is a must in the area.
