The Testi Special is a showstopper. That sizzling clay pot arrives at your table still flaming, and the lamb inside is so tender it just falls apart. A bit pricey, but the whole experience is something else.

The staff were lovely with our kids, really patient. They had a nice house red that went well with the pasta.

The staff are really friendly and helpful. They gave some good suggestions for what to order.

The grilled fish was spot on, really fresh. What made it for me was the sommelier&#39;s suggestion of a crisp Riesling to cut through the richness. A bit of a wait for the main, but the pairing was worth it.

A proper old-school pub, just what you wanted. The Christmas decorations were up, felt really cosy. Had a pint by the fire, it was just the thing on a cold night. A nice change from all the shiny new bars.

Stumbled in by chance. The pizza was surprisingly good, thin crust with a nice char. Decent beer selection too.

Been coming here for years. The harbour view is always lovely, but honestly, it&#39;s the seafood that keeps me coming back. Everything tastes so fresh. The staff are genuinely nice, too. A solid spot.

The breakfast spread here is solid. Lots of hot options and condiments to choose from, and it didn&#39;t break the bank.

I am so lucky to have The Rodmill as my local eaterie. Donna and Gemma were so welcoming to my dog Dora. She loved the attention!.The food is very good and well priced. Special offers just enhance this. Visited 26/9/2026

The restaurant is beautifully decorated, especially for the holidays. The food was hot and fresh, and the salad bar was a nice touch!

Cosy spot, elegant feel. The skate wing was spot on, sea bass too. What really worked for me was their NZ Sauvignon Blanc &ndash; that crisp acidity cut through the richness of the fish perfectly. Hosts were lovely. Just a touch on the pricey side for the portions.

Been here a few times, always solid. The food holds up. What I really enjoy is their wine list &ndash; found a nice red that went perfectly with the steak. Makes for a relaxed evening with friends.

Been coming here for decades, and the new games area is a proper upgrade. Smart dartboards and pool tables, plus loads of screens for the match.

New Year&rsquo;s Eve, expected a long wait. Our takeaway arrived in under 20 minutes, which was a real surprise. Everything was hot and fresh, the lamb rogan josh had so much flavour. Really appreciated the efficient service on such a hectic night.

The staff were really patient, even with the screen making it a bit hard to hear at times. They took their time explaining the specials, which was appreciated.

A nice local spot for halal Thai food. The menu has plenty of options, which I appreciate. The seats are quite comfortable too.

Dog-friendly spot, they had treats at the bar for my pup which was nice. We sat outside. The portion for the fish and chips was decent for the price, not huge but okay.

Popped in for Chef Steve&#39;s lunch menu with a friend. The two courses were lovely, really fresh and seasonal. It was just the right pace for a proper catch-up, not rushed at all. A bit on the pricey side for lunch, but nice for a treat.

Loved the 3-course lunch menu here! The portions were just right for sharing a few bites with friends. Service was quick and friendly, which kept our catch-up flowing. Really good value for the quality.

Really liked the vibe here. The menu&#39;s got a bit of everything, which was nice for a first visit. I went for the fish and chips &ndash; the batter was super crispy and the chips were proper chunky. Solid pint to go with it.

The restaurant has a plush and relaxed setting with attentive staff, making it a great place to enjoy good food in a comfortable atmosphere.

The cocktails were a bit pricey, but the setting in the old opera house is incredible.

Staff were lovely and the whole place was spotlessly clean. The hilltop views are just breathtaking. Had a really nice, peaceful stay.

Service was quick and friendly, even with special requests.

Bottomless brunch on a Saturday, and it was packed. Still, the service was really attentive &ndash; they kept the drinks topped up without us having to ask. Food was solid, too. Good spot for a busy weekend.

Our server was really on it tonight. Noticed my water glass was getting low before I did, and had a friendly chat about the specials. That kind of attention makes a difference.

Sunday roast was solid. Meat was tender, gravy had good flavour. The cauliflower cheese stood out, really well done. Service was efficient, no fuss. Good option for a straightforward Sunday lunch.

I highly recommend the afternoon tea at this restaurant. The selection of sandwiches, scones, and petit fours was delightful, and the service was impeccable.
