Coroglen Tavern — Restaurant in Waikato

1.45pm on a Summer Friday I pull into the Coroglen Tavern. I've just battled my way out of Auckland heading toward Whitianga. Tired and hungry I make my way to the bar. To my right up the steps are 3 bee keepers, still adorning their bee keeping suits sit with pints in their hands, taking about the morning and what's left for the arvo. At the bar I order a pulled pork burger with a speights mid ale. (I'm driving so I have to be responsible) I take a place a table to the left out side. I sit sipping my beer taking in the view or the rolling hills across the road. I hear the sound of screeching tires down toward the one way bridge ( not a crash though), I think, yup that bridge is a pain in the arse. A young fulla pulls up in his 1990 Toyota Corolla wearing his yellow and red surf lifeguard gear. He has with him a black and white rusty farm dog. He walks in side for some tucker too. I think, far out, this place is a postcard of everything I remember as a kid growing up in the country. My orders up... and It's better than I expected, the pulled pork was tender and succulent. Energy recharged, I head North to Whiti thinking what a mint way to start...

This is the most impressive place we found so far. We stopped by unexpected because it the closest place from our destination that we could find something to eat. It turn out to be the best cafe that we stopped by in nz so far. The price is cheaper than many other cafe's. The food was extremely excellent. Staff members are very friendly and easy to talk to. The most important thing is that the place is nice decorate and very tidy and spotless. We been all over North island but this place is really is special. We would definitely come back next time if we come to visit coromandal town. Most importantly it is kids friendly place too. There are kids menus to choose from and it was...

Wow!! Popped in on 24th, late afternoon, on way to Whitianga with my family and the customer service was incredible !! Lovely and down to earth lady (maybe the manager?) went completely out of her way to help me make an avacado dip for my chips, also suggesting adding sour cream, lime and salt / pepper - avacado wasn’t even on the menu!! I’m a manager of a restaurant so I appreciate this level of kindness very much :) Thanks so much. Second time I’ve been to the coromandel and second time coming in with friendly faces and a warm welcome, you’ll be seeing me again :)...
