Family-friendly vibes at the Fork and Tap. We didn't order much to eat, so I can't rate based on meals, but the handcut chips with aioli and sauce were super crispy, and the kids' meals are very generous. Got a burger with cheese and fries for my child. Really well-fried patty with fresh, crispy lettuce and good quality tomatoes. Wasn't a huge fan of the lemon pepper fries being served with a kid's meal, but still went down okay when paired with the tomato sauce. Put some of their aioli with both hamburger and fries, and it was pretty darned good. They have two high chairs for use, if tour little one is able to sit upright but still needs to be closed in (no straps, so unsuitable before 8 months) a sheltered play area for kids, including a tree hut and a sandy area with a bunch of toy trucks and diggers. You get a relaxing atmosphere amongst the trees. The facilities are clean, and there is a change table.

The 3 of us enjoy a Meatlover’s pizza, a large bowl of fries, and a pint of Goldpanner’s Lager here for a late lunch today. The food is reasonably priced, and the pizza has plenty of meat, and a delicious smokey homemade BBQ sauce swirl on top. The shoestring fries are very generous, and come with both a yummy aioli, and tomato sauce. The barmaid is kind enough to offer a couple of tastes of some of the 18 or so craft beers that are on tap, and no one objects to my choice of beer, as it is actually pretty good. Friendly staff, tons of seating options, inside and out, an interesting interior that reflects some of the gold panning history of Arrowtown. And who can resist the cosy warmth of a roaring fireplace.

Really great experience here! The barman was exceptionally friendly and offered me a range of IPAs to taste before I settled. The Halloumi salad was delicious - the halloumi had a smoky flavour due to (I expect) being cooked on the same grill as the meat, so if you are a Vegetarian Purist you may not be a fan, however it tasted delicious and really complimented the flavours of the salad which - dare I say it, almost tasted like a delicious Big Mac (the kind you always fantasise about before getting the actual thing and being disappointed) it left my mouth confused initially but then very happy!

Fun! A locals hangout with tons of energy. Visitors also made to feel welcome. Came here 3 times. Lamb shank delicious. (And I normally don't like lamb!) Pizza was good. If you like thin crust, this is your pizza. I fell in love with a mushroom hot sauce that the owner's partner is in the process of marketing. Not for sale yet, but when it goes on sale, buy some! Getting seated is a little confusing. There is no hostess but menus available at the entrance. Go to the bar and they will direct you to available seating. No waitresses per se, just place your order at the bar.

It's a kiwi pub, nestled in the heart of stunning historic Arrowtown. The little things make it popular with the locals, and tourists wanting a local feel: Great fish and chips, good size servings of everything, and a terrific range of LOCAL boutique beers. Service can get a bit slammed on busy sunny days, especially in the high season, but that's just an excuse for another beer in the sun. Take advantage of the mountain bike and dog parking out the front, settle in, and enjoy your afternoon.

Our choice of Restaurant in Arrowtown for a lower cost warm spacious and busier location...especially winter. Wed nights are the locals Jamming evening... always a good fun time... HOWEVER.... research you menu item meal BEFORE paying fo it. We have eaten here.. literally dozens if times over 5 years... A recent meal at $35.. was extremely disappointing.. We actually cooked again when we got home... Be WARNED....
