Trust The Butcher and Brewer to plate up the very best of Kiwi cuisine. So grab yourself a pint and raise a glass to the simple pleasures of life!

Come in your flip-flops or your first date finery and make yourself right at home. At B&B there are no airs and graces, just friendly Kiwi hospitality. They're a modern gastropub with plenty of entertainment on the side, so whilst you're waiting between courses you can challenge your dining partners to a pub game or two. As for the meal itself, enjoy it in the midst of the pub's comings and goings or take it outside onto their sunny patio.

So, you're joining them for a midday morsel? Well, morsel might be a bit of an understatement, as there are feasts like chicken schnitzel, braised lamb, mega burgers and good ol' bangers and mash on the menu. And if you missed brekkie, no worries - you can always opt for some eggs and balsamic mushrooms on toast if that's your midday vibe.

If you're joining them for dinner, however, pucker up for a dreamy international menu. Here we have lamb and beef meatballs from Italy,Middle Eastern pork shoulder sliders coated in spicy harissa. They're also going for gold with premium cuts of meat with a roasted lamb,THE EMPIRE grill scotch fillet, pasture beef and daily fish all fighting for your attention. All jokes aside, though, whatever you choose here will be sweet.
