    This may have been the only place open for dinner. It had a lot of cars in the parking lot and was…read moreclose to where we are staying. We walked thoughts bar side with a lot of people and a commotion going on. We found out it was horse racing. We worked our way to the dining room side where it was not busy and finally someone showed us a table with menus. Our server was very nice but was managing the dining orders plus the bar side. She definitely needed help. We started with shoestring fries and an Apple Cider on tap. I ordered the Beef Cheeks and my husband ordered the Pasta Carbonara as entrees. They were both really good. My beef was so tender that I cleaned my place . I'm glad we hiked today.

    Haven't had any bad food in Fox Glacier, but White Pub was the best of the four places we sampled…read more May have been a dollar or two more than other Fox restaurants for a similar dish but you definitely get quality for that extra dollar! Servers were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient; food came quickly, and the place had a great, social vibe. There's a lively pool table in the bar area. You know it's good when the classy locals hang at the bar (as opposed to the local who's drunk at 1:00pm on a Monday and hitting on the waitress...which we witnessed at another place in Fox). My wife loved that the whole place was warm. Good, free WiFi. And delicious dessert!!

    Slooow service. We were asked to wait 45mins before they would let us place our order. Once…read moreordered, the food took 35mins. When it came, half of it was like warm, and the other half was a good temperature. This could be excused if they were very busy, but they only seat 20 people (one meal came out of the kitchen every 5-10mins). Having said that, the lamb shank and vegetarian delight (plus chicken) were very tasty... so as long as you have time you should be ok. The waiters were confused by the simplest of things: whether the wine was by the glass, whether to collect our plates or not, and brought me - cider instead of a beer (my order was clear). To top it off, they miscalculated the maths as we were paying and tried to charge us $20 extra.

    It hurts my heart to not give a better review because I I thought that the woman that waited on me…read morewas great. With that said, I ordered the fish and chips and they were the most disappointing I have ever had. I received one piece of fish with some fries. The fish was soggy, the tarter was tasteless and they don't have malt vinegar. When I asked for malt vinegar, the server said she had never been asked for it before and had no clue what it was. She gave me white vinegar instead. To be clear, not all vinegar is the same. If you are going to have an item on the menu then I believe it is important you understand what options people may want. I order fish and chips a lot as a pescatarian and never have I had a restaurant not carry it. Unfortunately, the food was so bad that I left 1/2 my meal and went to the gas station for snacks on a long drive to Christchurch. If you choose to eat here then I would not get the fish and chips.

We tried the bait fish omelette appetizer. It was amazing with the mayo sauce on it. Actually not so great without it. For our mains, we had the bangers and mash and the pork ribs. I would recommend the bangers and mash, but not the pork ribs. They were dried out, overly drenched in sauce on a bed of french fries. The french fries were fine, but not my favorite type and became soggy quickly with all the barbecue sauce. I definitely would not order the ribs again. For dessert we had the sticky pudding and it was excellent. A good variety of wine and beer choices. We recommend the Alice May export gold beer and the Villa Maria Pinot Noir.

    It's got kind of a mix of different foods. The story of the restaurant is cool. The placemats…read moreexplained the namesake of the restaurant. We had the pan roasted chicken breast and the bangers and mash. The chicken breast was really, really dry and tough. I loved the abundance of accompanying vegetables though. Taste was average. The venison bangers were better. Not too gamey. Service was a little inefficient. The servers didn't have assigned tables. We had about 4 different servers helping us at various times. They were all really nice but seemed to be running around helping whomever they see.
