Amazing mussel platter. Great service. Not to be missed dining experience of Havelock but check the opening hours as may be different to website or only over dinner time.
Went to lunch cant fault our experience. From the time we arrived had excellent service.Our food was delicious we had mussell platter. Was so nice and enjoyed the mussells cooked all different ways. Definitely go back and recommend this place.
Made a trip to Havelock from Blenheim to visit The Mussel Pot. First customers at opening time. We were given the rundown on wearing masks when moving around the restaurant. Sat down at our table and removed my mask. The waiter shouted at me for...removing my mask before drinking or eating. We decided we wouldn't stay. He commented that he had water for us so now it was ok to removed our masks. Ridiculous service and made to feel very unwelcome.
Changed lunch venue to the Captains Daughter best service and amazing mussels dishes. Very welcoming.More
Don’t go through Havelock without stopping here for a meal! Delicious mussels done multiple ways. I had steamed and my husband had grilled - both super tasty - with homemade bread to soak up the sauce.
A great place to stop off and have lunch! We were impressed with everything! Catered really well to dietary needs and were child friendly as well! Muscles were a solid 10/10
First time visiting after living in the region basically all my life. Great food, awesome service. Great location. GOOD value. We'll be back. Thanks team.
We went to Havelock for tasty mussels, and we got exactly that!.
This place has a great outdoor area to eat in. A good choice of food, and selection of different mussel dishes, with good craft beer.
The food was great and was matched by the service which was warm, friendly and professional. Would have gone back for a second time if my wife would let me
Amazing food, get the sharing platter - served 2 for $50. Great value and heaps of tasty, very fresh mussels. A good idea to time your drive to make sure to get in for a lunch stop here.
