Beaut day, beaut setting, delicious food. Highly recommend the Harvest Salad, for lunch, fresh, tasty and a generous serving. Alongside a Somersby Cider it was pretty close to perfect! Will be back.

Great food and fantastic view. Prices are reasonable. I will surely come back to try the beer ( I was driving) and enjoy the view of the bay.

Good food, lovely outlook but wait for food service was unacceptably slow. No apology for our waiting for at least half hour for our meal.

Good service despite being busy at late afternoon,early evening. The vegetarian salad was tasty. The views are beautiful. Very much a family place for dining so be aware there will be families with children. These groups were mostly dining in the grassed outside area. There...is also a decked outside area, a covered sheltered area and inside space for dining. The latter three would suit couples and or smaller groups of friends. Decent menu average pricing.More

It was easy to enjoy this venue, the drinks were cold, the food was great and under holiday pressure the team were sensational. Sit inside, on the deck or out on the lawn and get lost in the proximity to the sea and the harbour...views. Thank you for a very relaxing afternoon.More

Absolutely perfect! Great service considering the place was packed with several Xmas parties . Food was Excellent! Perfect birthday lunch. Reasonably priced!

Ate here a month ago with guests from Australia and the food was great so keen to return. What a dissapointment. The salt and pepper squid was not fresh and chewy, with very little taste. The pizza was a far cry from what we had...a month ago. Don't think we will return.More

Wednesday night quiz night - didn't realise that when we booked but no problem. True country pub - locals all socialising. Ordered drinks and food. Had an Asahi beer - nice and cold. Food was a steak meal - meat was a bit tough but...was cooked to perfection (I like rare and this was cooked exactly right - often get medium instead). Didn't stay for the quiz but it's an excellent pub - didn't realise they had seats outside near the water (wouldn't have had one anyway as it was a damp night) but imagine the setting would be great on a fine dayMore

As we we’re staying up the road in Pataua, thought we would check it out for dinner as the location looked great right on the water. We had passed earlier in the day and reserved a table for 3 at 6.30pm. When we returned for...dinner, place was pretty full already, lots of family groups. Our table was ready with menus. We ordered food and drinks at the bar, then returned to table. Food arrived within 5 minutes, super quick. Very tasty and well presented. We had the Med rare scotch filet with mushroom sauce and chips, salt and pepper squid, med pizza and chips, 3 drinks. Total was $94. Heaps more patrons on large tables arrived after us and were served just as quick. Obviously a well organised kitchen and bar, would recommend.More

We were a bit unlucky that when we went it was a windy evening with the odd shower so we could not sit outside. But inside still had good views out to the Whangarei Heads area. Staff very friendly and our waitress was very knowledgeable...about which meals were gluten free. We very much enjoyed our meals including an Italian pizza on a large gluten free base (at no extra cost). Good range of drinks at the bar.More

Pleasant evening meal on the deck at Parua Tavern. Staff were nice, service quick and food decent .. the salt and pepper was excellent, the pizzas were okay but sounded better than they were. Lovely big space, and could definitely see why its a favourite...with locals and travellers.More

Great staff/service. Great location and views. Good food. A regular local and must for when visitors come to stay xx
