The Green Man Pub — Restaurant in North Island

I wasn't going to bother with this review, but they asked so here it is. An average experience, with food that needed more love, especially as it wasn't exactly busy. The 'blooming garlic bread' is gimmicky and awkward to eat, and was dry and overcooked. Her steak was more medium-rare than rare, and my fried chicken was okay but lacking the crispiness I would expect with the word 'fried' in the menu description. I accept these are First-world problems, but it's disappointing because the only other people there already had their food. Assuming the kitchen wasn't rushed off their feet, why then could our meals not be shown a little more care by people paid to do so? It was also disappointing that after 10mins the dirty dishes weren't cleared, and I did it myself. If this place can't cope when it's empty at 7pm on a Saturday night, how do they manage if they're busy? We earlier had our dessert orders sussed, but by then we were over it and just...

Tuesday 29/07/2025 we booked for a group of 4 , there was confusion on what we ordered and meals weren't correct. They said the kitchen were short staffed or something along those lines, we were offered compensation we declined knowing it happens and paid and left . I had already booked for Burger on a plate for Friday the 8th of August , 6 of us--- 5 ordered the burger on a plate the waitress said its another $5 for fries (No problems) we said 5 of us will the burger and fries , our 6 person just wanted a bowl of fries.

The orders came out one person got the fries and burger , the rest of us just got burgers nothing else--- we questioned this at time and was given OOOH okkk . A bowl of chips was dropped off between us WHAT THE HELL?.

As we left they tried to charge each of us with an extra $5 for fries one of the ladies already paid this and left.

Just rubbish service and after years getting great food and service we will not...

the place was great, i really enjoyed the music and the people were lovely. however about 30 minutes into our experience, i was asking the bartenders if there was somewhere safe we could put our bags. a man who works there, im assuming bartender too, approached me and wouldn’t let me finish what i was asking. he refused to help me find somewhere safe to put my bags and instead told me i need to put one more clothes. i was wearing sweatpants, and a crop top. i’ve seen another review here saying my pants were “falling down”, and id like to clarify they were not. he looked at my chest. i asked him to repeat himself as i was shocked to hear him the first time.

on our way out he yelled at my friend to put more clothes on too, she was covered head to toe. i’m allowed to wear whatever the hell i want, aslong as it’s tasteful to wear in public. my experience was overall lovely from other people, but won’t be...
