I had lunch here with my friend a while back, and we had a lovely experience. The place is gorgeous, with a nice, outdoorsy, country atmosphere. The food was nice too, as well as the juices we ordered (they have some very exotic flavours!) I would be happy to recommend this place and wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

The sign outside said it opened at 10am but actually didn’t open till 11am, but it was a lovely day and we whiled away the time relaxing and people-watching from the outdoor bean bags on a grassy area nearby.

Quirky indoor/outdoor cafe on a corner site with old-bricks shop walls on two sides, fencing and plantings on the other two. Great decor and ambiance, the service was very friendly and the pizzas to die for. Will definately go back next time we’re in Auckland Central.

We were stoked to find a place still serving food after 10pm.
We were the only ones still eating… so I think they were being super-kind to us. The place was completely packed out, and had a fantastic party atmosphere. Live DJs, and they had an old black & white Charlie Chaplin movie silently playing against the brick wall after the rugby finished, which was very arty & cool. Inspite of all the action going on, we could still comfortably hear each other talk, way over in the dining area.

We thoroughly enjoyed the pecan pie & icecream that we shared. REALLY delicious. Before that we shared a beetroot & feta salad with pinenuts. All aspects of the salad were nice… except for the mesculin/rocket that accompanied it, which was maybe less than fresh? Anyway… we weren’t too worried. It was the experience we were after, and the atmosphere was great.

The waiter made a great wine recommendation when I asked for a sweet aromatic… so I had two… Lovely. The last round of drinks were rather slow to come – and we asked after them, and they arrived instantly with an apology – so no problem there.

All in all, on a Friday night it’s a great place for people-watching, drinking, and having a laugh. You’d definitely need to book if you wanted to eat there in the segregated dining area – we swung by at 7pm and it was fully booked. Glad they let us in after 10pm – it was a great ending to a brilliant night of Pub&Food crawl that we’d been on.

An interesting place that seems like it’s still finding it’s feet. Had lamb loin which is the best lamb I’ve ever eaten. It was served on an avocado tapenade. You might need to order a side if you are a big eater but the portion was perfect for me and the price was very reasonable.
The Britomart Country Club isn’t perfect but the food I ate certainly was.
There were a group of young women dressed as if going for the races who must have had high tea. There was a DJ, guys with dreads playing petanque. It has an eclectic group of diners/drinkers which I enjoyed. I’m not sure they have their niche worked out yet since they offer a whole lot of different things like pizzas, high tea and bar sized meals (which are truly restaurant quality) in the restaurant area. Although a kind of confusing place, I really loved it. Very different. Plus, service a little casual but very very friendly. Casual can be nice – you don’t feel rushed. Thanks for the experience.

Ate here tonight with two friends and liked it a great deal.

Monday nights you can get $10 mains but I would happily pay full price as the food was lovely. The venison, cranberry and haloumi pizza was my favourite. The squid was nice and tender with a delicious sweet lemony dipping sauce.

The dessert list was restricted to only three items, one being ice cream, but the pecan pie with butterscotch sauce was pretty good.

The service was good, with a friendly waiter who seemed relaxed but didn’t leave us waiting for him. He was even a bit keen to ask us for orders while we were still busily chatting away.

Nice ambience with the citronella candles and fake grass for an outdoorsy feel.

After a lunchtime visit with work colleagues, we have to mark this as a ‘could do better’.

- The pizzas were fine – in fact very good.
- The service was appalling – slow, and half the things delivered were wrong
- The entertainment was great – especially the dropping of a full tray of glasses (ioncluding red wine) over the head of one of the customers. This was followed later on by a full tray of pizzas on plates.
