Cooked to perfection, this huge burger definitely satisfied my craving. It came with a side of fries which were the perfect combo of crispy and salty. Service was excellent.

There were a few other patrons enjoying their meals and we all were chatting a bit and sharing travel stories and recommendations. What a great stop.

New Zealand, to what I've seen so far, has no shortage of pubs! I'm Taupo, I think there were 4…read morethat I saw, not including a couple of breweries. The pub vibe inside is very nostalgic and your traditional English pub that many of us have come familiar with and this one is equally endearing as well. My friends and I settled in for dinner on our last night in town to give it a go. It was busy this night but the staff is warm and friendly. They focus on your traditional English items but had a couple of pasta dishes if feeling a bit Italian for the night. We were happily surprised at our orders and the portion sizes were huge (seems to be a theme with each restaurant we've been too). Pics attached. When ordering the fish & chips, you get a choice of larger or small. I got the large... way more than I thought. Reminds me of the gold ol'days before Covid. Go for a half portion if not up for the large. Cute pub, would welcome going again and if in Taupo, give it a go!

This British pub made for a nice place to relax. Ploughmans serves great traditional British fare and drinks at very reasonable prices. The service was friendly with the very funny and chatty waitress. The interior is clean and full of traditional British decor for genuine ambiance. $25NZ Fish N Chips...traditional deep fried British deliciousness served perfect British chips and side salad. $25NZ Venison Pie...hearty and packed with tender venison wrapped in warm flaky pie crust, heaven! Also served perfect British chips and side salad.

After days of road tripping and site seeing, we needed a place to unwind and relax. As we were…read moreconsulting our hotels list of restaurants that delivered or did take out, we found Ploughmans to be roughly a mile away. Hello walking shoes. Rounding the bend we approached this quaint little, dark wooded cottage with string lights on the patio. While there were few cars in the lot, we ventured in because the take out menu sounded awesome. It was definitely quiet inside with a few patrons at the bar, leaving us the dining room to ourselves. Well, us and our very talkative server. The Hubster had the steak special, which he claimed to be very good, especially for the price. Me, I went with the Ploughmans burger because very few places in the states use beets as a burger topping. I had to see what all the fuss was about. It did not disappoint. The burger was perfectly cooked and the beets added a great flavor. All in all, if I were back in Taupo, I'd go again and again. PS kudos for being close enough to our hotel so I could utilize the wifi to check in on yelp. I'm loving the New Zealand badge!

The flat whites were meh. My friend liked her iced chocolate very much. But, the worst part of this place was the service. The waitresses were rude. One deposited our cutlery in a giant pile on the middle of the table. When I asked for napkins she told me I had to go get them myself. Half of the food showed up in a reasonable amount of time. The rest showed up at least 10 minutes later. If we had paid half the price I would say it wasn't too bad an experience but for the price the service was ridiculous.

Addendum from the husband: hurry up and write the review- I wanna forget about this meal as quick as possible (totally wanted to give his two cents). 1. chocolate shake tasted like lukewarm chocolate milk- it wasn't cold enough. The fresh cream was a good topping. 2. Tater tots- crispy, but not enough gravy and cheese. Some of the tots were bare. 3. Fried Chicken sandwich- they forgot to fry it (oops) and it was under seasoned. The white bread used turned into mush from the manhandling and who the hell puts corn kernels in a chicken sandwich? Overall it was a poor execution of food which removes stars this establishment needed.
