What Our Previous Guests Have Said About Their Stay

Great food. Popped in on our way back from Alexandra and got a couple of burgers! Delicious. Also got some of their famous pies to put in the freezer. Ate them over a month and enjoyed every one of them! Definitely worth the hype.

The pub was welcoming. The staff were delightful but it was the Waipiata Pie who turned this little stop at the beginning of the Otago Rail Trail that was delicious. Will be going back for more and ordering for delivery.
