Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Went for breakfast to watch the Rugby World Cup final. The bar and restaurant were fully booked with a large number of patrons but the service was still excellent.

Had a late lunch at the pedal pusher ... and given that most of the Rolleston restaurants close for lunch after 2 pm, it might be one of the best spots in town to eat between say 2 and 5. Food was good, but not...outstanding ... and still need to get used to paying nealrly $30 for fish'n chips (or basically any main). Anyway - chips have been good and fresh, the pasta we ordered as well was good (though if you are hungry, better budget for two portions) and the desert (ice cream) not bad. 3 scoops, a bit of whipped cream, a sprinkle of sugar and traces of berries plus some marshmellows for $17. Service was friendly, though initially a bit too attentative (asking whether they can bring more while both plates and glasses still well filled) and later not so. Premises are friendly and warm. Overall - not bad, but we probably keep looking for our favorite spot in Rolleston.More

We dined here the other night. Great ambience and good vibes. We ordered and the meals were quick. The pasta was good and I had the chicken and corn pie which wasn’t my favourite meal. The staff r pleasant

Great food, lots of good options. Wait staff were attentive and friendly. Tables were spaced out so I was able to have a good catch up with my friend without interruption. Definitely will be going again.
