What to drink with what

Dish	Pour this	Why
Hot honey pepperoni	Tararua Pilsner	Cuts the fat, resets your mouth between slices
Chicken ribs	Paekak Hazy	Soft bitterness, stands up to the hot sauce
Mushroom pizza	Kapiti Amber	Malt and mushroom are the same flavour family
Whitebait fritter	Coast Road Lager	Clean and out of the way. Do not overthink it
Pretzel and beer cheese	Waikanae Dark	Roasty against salty, the oldest trick there is

Dietaries

Gluten free bases $5, and we change gloves and use a separate peel. The fryer is shared, so chips are not coeliac safe and we will tell you that rather than risk it.

Kids

Welcome until 8pm, and there is a box of Lego and a lawn out the back. High chairs, and we will warm a bottle for you.

Dogs

Fine anywhere except the pizza counter. Water bowls by the door and a jar of biscuits on the bar.

Get a table before Friday fills
