It was the first time my family and I had a meal here, we had breakfast in the morning then came back for dinner on the same day, we loved it, a good old Irish pub. Busy at night though, very popular so expect a bit of a waiting time, just drink a few Killkennys to kill the time.

Came here for lunch on St Patrick’s day and I must say I was very impressed. The staff were lovely and the food came out very quick. I ordered from the lunch special menu which was great value for money. I ordered the chicken wrap which came with a side salad and fries. All for $18. The portion was huge and was very tasty. Would highly recommend the barell Inn Howick.

It had been many many years since we visited The Barrel Inn. We had heard reviews about how tired the place looked, and while this is true (same decor for 20+ years) the food, drinks & service were great on the night we visited. Friends had also told us how great it was - not sure if there has been a change of owner? Certainly a vast improvement!
Service wise everyone was incredibly friendly & welcoming with prompt delivery of food & good banter.
The food was really a stand out though which you wouldn’t necessarily expect!
We ordered the Sunday roast which at $12.00 there wasn’t huge expectations - well it was delicious! Pork shoulder (tender & perfectly cooked) crispy potatoes, and all the trimmings. There was also a larger size which a friend chose as he was hungry - it was huge.
1/2 pint at $5.90 is pretty reasonable too
So a good surprise & will definitely be back.

Great place to have a drink and a bite to eat, have great specials on food with a great range, nice friendly staff to except for the old bat behind the bar! She looks like she doesn't want to be there and is always pissed off, apart from that it's good!

We were at Barrel Inn for a triple treat Tuesday dinner for $28. On top of the tap beer (or house wine), I had roast pork shoulder & sticky date pudding with vanilla ice-cream; my wife had pan-fried tarakihi & lemon tart with ice-cream. Food was excellent - especially the fish which I also tried. (Food - 4/5; Service - 4/5; Ambience - 3/5)

When the Barrel Inn opened bout 12 years ago it was extremely popular to the point where it was difficult to get a table on a Friday evening, the food was always good quality pub food. Over the years the quality of the food seemed to deteriorate a bit and the pub seemed to have fewer customers.   My wife and I decided to try the Barrell Inn again for dinner recently after not eating there for a number of years, wow! what a change in the quality of the food.  We've eaten here three times in the last few weeks, we've had the steak pie, breaded chicken, beef burger, etc. on our recent visits and the food quality is above our expectations and the portions more than ample, the service has also been excellent.  Now superb pub food - well done.

Heard so much about the Steak & Guinness Pie that we had to try it out. Hubby had the large one, me the small. Both did not disappoint and both were ample servings. Flakey puff pastry sealed over the top of a bowl of steaming hot steak filling, served with crispy beer battered chips and a green salad. Tasty and very well-priced. Great pub, awesome staff.

Outstanding pints of Guinness! 🍀 I spent 15 years in the UK so I know my pours and pipes. The decor is proper pub - loads of heavy wooden features, stained glass, cabinet curiosities and a lush crackling fireplace. The service is a bit all over the place but warm at heart and the regulars seem really at home. Sports on the screens and a hearty looking menu. The price of the pints will exclude my humble custom on the regular but when I can I’ll be back. 🥃

Great place in Howick for a drink and a meal. Staff are friendly and great atmosphere. Parking is plentiful around the premise. They have various specials for different days of the week. Particularly love their Steak Night on Thursdays. Generous servings and very well priced. Ask for rare if you like your steak medium-rare.
