    Have been here often. The staff are great, especially once they've seen you a few times. The menu has a variety of tasty options. This is a solid choice for those nights you don't feel like cooking and fancy a treat. Very reasonably priced too. Keep it up guys!

    This is a small portion of lamb shank - It fell right off the bone. No need for salt or pepper, it was seasoned perfectly. The 70โ€™s rock music was at a nice volume, we could have a good conversation. The Art Deco Festival posters, and surf boat hanging from the ceiling add to the beach vibe. Heavily decorated with wooded tables, benches, and an occasional local artist work, that you could purchase.

    What a hidden gem! Amazing food, great hospitality, service (that's rare), parking and location. Yes it is a bit tired, but that could be the charm and atmosphere. Worth a visit.

Giving 5 stars because it deserves. recommended. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    booked in for dinner Sunday Was a pleasant experience The food was mixed up a little bit but that was sorted out and very accommodating was the staff. The gravy was very bland, could use a bit more flavor. The steak was a great quality and chips awesome Thank you for the experience and a wonderful team

    Perfect place for a cold beer and hot chips. Great outdoor garden bar with lots of umbrellas for shade and a big area for kids to run around. Huge range of delish food on the menu. And more beers on tap than you could drink on a Sunday arvo.

  • 5/5 Grace F. 3 years ago on Google
    Yummo burgers were a treat. The staff run a tight ship and the punters weren't outta control which means, a great family friendly place. Bar up front, bar and food in middle and the Puk the restaurant at the end. Big building, accommodation provided out back, hand crafted bear on premises, so Jeremy and team are doing well. Nice one Napier!

  • 5/5 Greg A. 3 years ago on Google
    We love this place, amazing rotating craft beer selection. They also have some excellent European beers. They have lots of seating and friendly service, the food menu is really good, and they take care with food allergies. There is an outdoor patio that on weekends they usually have live music. I definitely recommend this place for a burger and beer!

    The craft beer was fantastic, but the vegan food options were near non existent, sadly

  • 5/5 Christine H. 4 years ago on Google
    Kid friendly place to eat. They have a change table with a sink and toilet all in one space which was a big help with my 16 month old. The high chair, books, Mr Potato head and more helped to keep him distracted before and after dinner. The food and staff were amazing. I highly recommend making a stop at this place.

    Thank you for a pleasant experience My husband and I stopped in on our travels throughout New Zealand , we are so glad we did , our stay was honestly just something else , rarely do you experience such great hospitality from start to finish, the service was fabulous , it truly caters for everyoneโ€™s needs , sports bars , multiple choice of food to eat, the beer garden was lovely to relax in and have a drink especially after travelling for so long! I truly hope this review helps someone decide on where to go as you will not be disappointed. Thank you!

    Great bar and the home of the Napier Brewing Company. The best Pilsner I've had and very busy bar with great atmosphere. The staff are just the best!

  • 3/5 Michaela T. 4 years ago on Google
    My husband and I had lunch here when staying in Napier for a couple of days. The lady who served us was wonderful. She was super friendly and had a lovely manner. We sat outdoors. The setting was just so-so. The three stars is really for the food. I asked about the pork ribs, whether it had heaps of sugar. "Oh, no, no", came the answer. When my meal arrived, there was a nice-looking salad on the plate, some chips and a separate plate of ribs. I can't complain about the price. It was really good value for money. The chips were really nice, too. But the ribs, although cooked really well, were so sickly sweet, and then I ate the salad which had a really, really sweet dressing on it. I felt like I was eating a dessert. My husband had the fish, and he said it was just ok. Pros: Great value for money. Really lovely serving staff (at least the lady we had), yummy chips. Cons: Overall the food wasn't that good. It was quite noisy with the traffic, and the outdoor setting out the front wasn't that nice. I hope this review is seen as helpful by the owner and staff. Cheers.

  • 4/5 Dennis D. 3 years ago on Google
    They have a great atmosphere with good food. There's even a bar with pool table sports on the TV and games. Meet a friend for chess there and had a lovely time.

  • 1/5 Jessica D. 3 years ago on Google
    My chicken nibbles were dry and chewy and fatty. the chips were chewy. had no vegetarian patties for my vegetarian friends and no other options other than mushroom soup and as it was a hot day soup wasnโ€™t an ideal match. the vegetarian platter however has about 10 chips. the samosas, spring rolls and onion rings werenโ€™t crunchy like promised and when the curry puff was broken open the filling was crumbly, dry and smelled off. the tomato sauce was sour and the coke was flat as if it had been left out for days.

  • 1/5 Alicia G. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was disappointing. Chicken tenders were disgusting, not real chicken! Steak burger had fatty steak and burnt bun. Pork panini was full of lettuce and hardly any pork, pork was not very nice at all. Wonโ€™t go back there again.

  • 1/5 KrisAnn F. 3 years ago on Google
    Got given soggy salad, ribs were cold,duck was cold and food came super quick only to realise food was terrible. Also we found it weird that there was no smell and we sat very close to the kitchen?? I looked good coming out but was horrible to eat. Felt like everything was put in the microwave and then served on a plate. She also tried telling me the vinaigrette made the salad soggy, I doubt that happens so quick if it was fresh. Felt like they put more on to hide the yucky lettuce. No happy. Am not going back!! EVER

    Overpriced for the quality of food, we had to send pasta back as it tasted very old and un edible, I wouldn't recommend this place.

  • 3/5 Adrian S. 4 years ago on Google
    Food was well cooked and arrived in a timely Manor decor with probably lacking needed a freshen up service was very polite need to wait to order desserts

  • 1/5 Rantej B. 4 years ago on Google
    Not worth it, all frozen stuff. Everything is processed. Better to go to a fast food chain and spend way less. We had to keep reminding the staff of the inclusions from kids meal.

  • 5/5 Pamela H. 4 years ago on Google
    Ideal environment for our work function. Our large group was able to be seated together on one very long table. Delicious meal served by hospital and friendly staff. Had concerns about being able to attend due to a work appointment at 1pm but ordered promptly and was able to leave within the hour. Very happy!

  • 5/5 Katie S. 2 years ago on Google
    It was great, as always. We often come for a family lunch/drinks, this time we held a work do. Staff are always friendly & efficient. Food was delicious. Only thing I would ask for would be wristbands for function guests, for a security thing for the tab. And also, bigger platters for a function & no need for the side salad to look pretty for a large group. Thanks so much!

  • 4/5 Serena O. 1 year ago on Google
    A group of us dined in the pub restaurant on a Saturday night. Customer service was exceptional ! Food was ok but not of the high standard you get at the Bayview pub - which is exceptional. Loved the sports on the big screen. People chatter was really loud but then expected on a busy Saturday night. Selection of beers top notch. Overall great pub but food was just ok.

    We had our Christmas work function at The Westshore We were greeted by friendly helpful staff. We were advised of a staff shortage and to be honest we didnโ€™t noticeโ€ฆ The staff were amazing the food was fantastic and we were all very well looked afterโ€ฆ The DM who hosted us through the evening and into the late night was most hospitable and really took great care of all of us. Thanks again to the Westshore team for an amazing no hassle work function we had a blast and would love to do it all again soon.

    Highly recommend Garth and the team at the Westshore Beach Inn. We recently had my son's 21st in their function room and they help make the night memorable. Garth was great to deal with and nothing was a problem for him to organise. And the food is top notch too ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™‚

  • 5/5 Anna B. 6 months ago on Google
    What an outstanding venue to be at. We had my daughterโ€™s 21st in the Pak room. Cannot thank Garth enough for his amazing service and kindness. Nothing was a problem and everything we needed was provided. The staff were super friendly, helpful and ran on time. Huge thank you to the chef for cooking so many meals and they were delicious! The portion sizes were huge, great value for your money. The chef can sure cook a piece of steak to perfection. Thank you to all as we had a great night, one to remember. Thanks for making it run so smoothly. If you are needing a venue room we highly recommend Garth and his staff. You will not be disappointed.
