Beautiful view. Nice location. Buffet lunch was ok. Limited food and deserts choices. Price is not very competitive. But this place can be a good place for family to enjoy variety of food with beautiful view.

Marvelous view. Came here for last year work Christmas do and also another time for lunch date. Food is pretty good for a buffet. Their fish goujon is the winner. I think it’s about $30 for full price lunch and $35 for dinner. Check out Groupons for deals as I know sometime they run promotions there.
The best place , ambience and food. I had my lunch on christmas but trust me its the best so far. 5 star for food ,service,ambience,value for money. Cheerss
The host is always warm, the place is always welcoming and the food is always lovingly prepared. It is a modest spread considering the price — but each and every dish is a world in itself. Their Lamb Korma and Waldorf Salad are perfect. If there is one offering though that keeps me coming back, it is their Baked Alaska. The fact that it’s located where the gentle Cheltenham Beach and mighty Rangitoto meet does not hurt either. I live in South Auckland and I travel to this gem of a restaurant as I consider it my happy place.
Enjoyable buffet food with a stunning view.
McHugh's of Cheltenham is a favourite every year for my school's Music Dinner. Lovely venue - very clean, spacious and great view out to Rangitoto and the ocean.
Service and food is pretty good too, but not outstanding. (Lacking in wow factor.) What really makes this place special is again its view, and option to take a stroll along the beach after dining here.
Recommendations: choose a nice window to sit at.
It has been a long, long time since we last visited McHugh's. Vaguely at the back of my mind, I seemed to remember that it looked a lot less spacious then - the set-up of the tables, the food area, etc. Anyway, back to today, we were here for a buffet lunch. Variety of food was great; not a lot, but enough for everyone to have a pick. The view of the beach outside, particularly, was spectacular. (Food - 3.5/5; Service - 4/5; Ambience - 4.5/5)
AWESOME WEDDING VENUE
We had our daughters wedding there last Friday 24 February. What more can be said, awesome venue, food and location. The owners need to cherish James as he is very efficient in what he does and makes the organisation of the function run very smoothly. He has done so many functions it comes very natural. He gave us guidance during the celebrations and always came across very professional. We upgraded to the $73/head menu which was well worthwhile. All our guests commented on the food. The toilets could do with an upgrade but still okay. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to have a wedding at McHughs.
Spectacular scenery, excellent service and great ambience/ atmosphere. I came here twice, the first time was for a school music event and the second time I had brunch with my family. I enjoyed the seafood salad, baked potatoes as well as the meat balls. The lamb curry with steamed rice was amazing! The only two downsides though, are the desert options, as there were only a few cakes, brownies we could choose from, not a lot of variety indeed. Also, $40 per person is a bit overpriced, one of the most expensive buffet lunch bills I have ever encountered. Otherwise, despite the two points stated above, If you're after a romantic fine dining experience, I would definitely recommend this place.
Undoubtedly the best views in Auckland. Food is amazingly good, fresh, great variety. we had our early Family Christmas Dinner there.
Staff is friendly and attentive. Loved it, great for a get together or celebration.
This place has recently dramatically improved with their food and service lately! Came out here last week and the view is still as outstanding as ever. Buffet has a nice variety on offer and is of good quality. We will definitely be back!
I had my wedding here recently and it is one of the best places to have any sort of event. It’s built for about 160 people with public access to the beach. The view is just GREAT! The staffs are so lovely and had plenty of variety in food. They were super accommodating to our needs and open to conversation to specific details. Would highly recommend this place for wedding or any special occasions
What a wonderful place. The food was excellent and so much variety. Plus the views of Rangitoto and the beach were stunning. A great place for overseas visitors.
Great wedding reception location. James and Raj were super professional and easy to work with. Would recommend. Selected buffet option for dinner - yummy as
Not exciting, but historic. Very good buffet. Plenty to choose from, and very well cooked. McHughs is an institution. Been around for decades. In a beautiful situation, with amazing views.
Always a lovely experience here! James the owner is very accommodating and we’ve had family Xmas lunch here for many years, as well as our wedding reception a few years ago! Beautiful location in Devonport.
The staff was excellent. Took care of the table in timely fashion. The buffet was regularly checked and topped up.
While the food wasn't exactly tlt exotic or varied, they were delicious.
The view was great with nice expansive view of the beach.

We had our wedding reception here last December 2020 & It was the best ever choice we had in choosing Mchughs! James, the restaurant manager is very nice, easy going, down to earth, go an extra mile for us and cater all our needs from the very first meetup up until post wedding!. The guests really enjoyed the view and most especially the food, it was superB!, the desserts were spectacular,
not too sweet. James also allowed us to decorate the venue prior our day, so we will not be on a rush & yeah! Our wedding reception & program at Mchughs went very well as planned. Guests were really impressed! Thank you so much James & we will definetely be referring Mchughs to our friends and families. A++++++
What a beautiful and historic place. The food was simple (what I prefer) but delicious, and the service was exceptional. I am gluten free and I could eat all except 2 options on the mains, and they made a special batch of mousse for some gluten free dessert. It was a really nice experience!
Well with a visit and great food. Incredible view of the ocean and Rangitoto Island. I could sit there all day!
You need to book as it does get busy on weekends. Fab friendly staff and prices are reasonable too.
An absolute blast of a place,
Great food,
Amazing views,
Great service,
Will be planning to go again
