Northern Tavern — Restaurant in Invercargill City

Seriously.. the staff need to learn to smile and be polite!! This place is my local when I'm in invercargill however, if it wasn't for the fact they are close to where i stay...I wouldn't go there AT ALL! staff can be flippin rude, like they don't want to be there.. it's a pretty unfriendly environment, for a woman anyway! Just to be clear & not to offend the l staff that know how to do their job properly.. this is a review from Tuesday night 17/09/24. Oh, & If you can't hear someone come into the bottle store then maybe you should inform management so they can do something about it. I waited for ages to be served. Ended up calling the landline (as I couldn't even leave my bottle of wine & get out of the place) only to be told she was busy at the bar (not!) & couldn't hear that someone had come in... whatever.. Honestly, you never no who you are serving! Be polite.. or get a job better suited to your personality. Would not recommend to out of towners if you are use to good service...

Honestly don't like this place at all. The garlic bread was meh, but alright. But mainly they don't listen to you. I got the steak and asked for no eggs. because I don't like eggs, and not only did they put eggs with it, they put it on top of the steak, which is gross. And then they put a mountain of salad next to it, taking up half the plate, and they didnt at all mention salad in the meal. The steak was tiny, mostly fat and very poorly cooked. The chips were bland. Overall gross, and the rest of my family, who had other meals, didn't like their meals so it seems to be more than just the steak which is bad. At least the desert...

The lady behind the bar Sandra (a manager I asked fellow patrons) is so arrogant it isn’t funny. When I went up to the window to cash in my winnings she snatched the container out of my hand, not a word spoken she than handed me cash with a sour look on her face it was just so rude. There was no need to treat anyone this way little lone a paying customer If this is how the hospitality is at this pub I’ll go...
