Plough & Feather — Restaurant in Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community

Booked as had been recommended due to their vegan options including pizzas, turns out the restaurant runs as two separate venues and the pizzas and vegan options are for the outside area, was given the option to move outside but it was windy and rainy so stayed inside. Waitress told us that most dishes can be made vegan, I think that would be just giving you the dish minus the meat though as most dishes were centred around the meat. It’s one of those, we can make it vegan by removing the most expensive part of the dish, replacing it with nothing and charging you the same. I had a pasta dish, with the goats cheese removed, it was okay, but very expensive for what it was at $34. If you are a meat eater it’s probably okay, but if you’re considering this restaurant as a vegan from the recommendations on happy cow etc, maybe only go if the weather is fine and you want to sit outside, because the inside restaurant isn’t worth it unless you eat animals. They do have a decent range of beers to choose from, and they are available in a British imperial pint size, which was pleasing as a...

This comment has to do primarily with the quantity, quality and price of meals (snack portions) at lunch. Travelling to different countries regularly I am able to say that something is definitively wrong with resturants in Kerikeri: In NZ, specifically Kerikeri and specifically P &F portion sizes have been cut by 2. Its not a meal it is a snack. Reducing on ingrediants. Salads lack ingrediants and Pizza was a snack and had no tomato sauce. Pricing are much higher than Paris, Amsterdam. In Paris at noon you get starter, main plate and 1 glass of wine for 22 euros, full plate. At P& L small pizza and extra small salade for 32NZ $. I come to NZ yearly so i am very surprized by what I am seeing happening and how the locals are exposed to these increase in costs, decrease in quantity and decrease in quality. In addition their is no service, place order at cashier and pick up your meal at counter.

All this for 69NZ$: 2 salades, 1 pizza, 2 diet cokes. Price per person was: 34.50nz$ or 20euros.

I think that P & L should review its menu, it is not to the...

I took my husband there for his birthday, I was so disappointed. We had booked a table prior and when we got there we got placed in a corner whilst everyone else sat out side on the veranda. I asked for a table outside and got told yes by the lovely waitress and then no by the male waiter, he explained that he had given it to someone that booked specifically a table outside, I asked so when u travel like we had and don’t know about those options u just get given a corner seat?! He began to say yes well they booked. I said to him we had too and that it’s my husband’s birthday. 15 min later we where moved to squished little deck table, my hubby ordered a beer, the lady bought us water and forgot the beer. Also the pork belly was cooked Devine but spoiled by the over powering soy sauce. So all and all it was a bad decision for my husbands birthday. I’m not a racist person either but I really felt brown and not worthy at this place, and I am a tanned Māori with green eyes that had driven all the way...
