“Value for Money & quality friendly experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2012

Best ribs in the country? Never had better in NZ. At nzd22.9 for the entire meal = value for $. Add to that the friendliest and most helpful / attentive staff served in a spotless restaurant with sensibly priced vino by the glass or bottle. (wine list is GOOD & thoughtfully chosen for value experience). Highly recommended. Our 1st visit... More

We are very lucky that our reviewers recognise that we are just a simply little Pub creating a Friendly and Fresh Food experience - Places like the Mission & Indonesia are special places too. The Ribs sure are a big seller. For winter we are open 7 nights but restricted lunches. Cheers & Beers Jeremy Bayliss More

This isn't the most glitsy of places but I have to say it was a blast from the past! This is your typical old school kiwi boozer with TAB, public bar, lounge bar and restaurant. If you look past some of the old decore, the service, food and prices are fantastic. There is a wine list thats very credible at... More

On the spur of the moment we decided to go out for tea on Sunday nights. Where to go ? Let's look at tripAdvisor. The Westshore beach inn bistro gets a great review and we had nevere been there. So the four of us head to Westshore . Well what a treat. For a lazy relaxed Sunday dinner it was... More

“Great food and rugby”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 April 2012

The Westshore is the place to go and watch any sports game and have an excellent meal at the same time. My wife and me met up with a friend to watch a rugby game on one of the big screens and have a meal. We all 3 had one or the other fish meal. We all were very well... More

We are visiting NZ for 2.5 months and chose Napier for our stay. Our family from Wellington (and friends from Perth, Australia) joined us for a short time... Our landlady recommended Econo Lodge around the corner from our holiday pad. Sandy (reception) could not have been more helpful - and Jeremy - (owner) - was full of info on places... More

We weren't quite sure what to expect as we walked in the door. It's a pub (we over-dressed) Once we walked in we then expected pub grub. Well - I guess it is pub grub, but as it should be!! I think if we had food half this good in anywhere else we'd be happy. The good also arrived really... More

One thing with reviews is they need to reflect who you are - We as everyone knows are not fin dining. We just try and are committed to being the BEST "Pub" Bistro around. We are so glad you enjoyed what we had to offer and delivered. Thanks. Cheers & Beers Jeremy Bayliss More
