Best value meal we found in Queenstown with $20 main options. We had the beef Wellington and Pork Belly which were both delicious. Recommend for those looking for a pub meal.
Visited the Pub on Wharf two nights in a row just to have the Ugly Bread on the menu. This place gets a 5 star just for that dish alone.
We decided to go here as it was a cold winter night and just wanted a cozy pub meal. The food is very well priced ($20 for a main!!! AMAZING!!!) when you compare it to other places in Queenstown! The serving size is quite generous also!
We were happy with our experience at the pub!
The Beef Wellington here was just perfect! The beef was juicy and tender and matches with the pastry in an excellent way. The mushroom sauce was good too. And it took us only 20 bucks! Ps: bring your id, they must check that.
Absolutely amazing! Steak cooked perfectly, really good sized portion and only $20 for each steak. Highly recommended and will definitely we back!
Had the $20 dinner special- beef Wellington , a bit higher standard than pub grub which was a pleasant surprise , coupled with a local wine a fire and an acoustic guitarist was a very pleasurable evening
Had the bbq ribs and chicken parmigiana - generous portion sizes and decent food for $20 a meal. We sat outside. Great views over the lake sadly couldn’t see much as it was dark. Would be pretty during the day. Lots of space for kids - specially to play outside while you relax and can watch them from a distance
Food and drinks here are really tasty. Enjoyed the pork belly and ribs. Both portions were massive (half the amount would have been enough for us, great for those with a huge appetite). Flavour was not lost in the potion size though as both meals were well above average. I found it hard to stop eating my pork as it was among the best I've had. The drinks were also great, we tried a cider cocktail, mulled wine and a mandarin soda. All were very tasty, the mulled wine my favourite for a cold winter night. This place does get very busy though so try get in early when it's cold out, otherwise there is plenty of outdoor seating.
Arriving late at Queenstown, we (11 of us) went for a quick dinner at Pub on the Wharf, chosen at random.
I had the South Island lamb rump, with rosemary potatoes & green beans. My wife had salmon fillet. Both dishes were of good size.
BBQ pork ribs which one of our friends had, came in an enormous portion. Besides quantity, quality was good too.

Food was great. We ordered the pork belly and the lamb rump and a side of mac n cheese. My lamb rump was over cooked (hence the 4.5) but was still tender and tasty.very good meals for such a low price. ($20 mains) Great atmosphere outside by the fire. Would definitely go back here.
Went here for lunch with the family. This place has great ambience. Warm fireplace with contemporary decor coupled with attentive and pleasant staff always a great start. One of my biggest punts with ordering a pub steak is 'will it _actually_ come out medium rare?'. Pub on Wharf nailed it. Slow cooked and pan seared prime cut NZ beef. Awesome. Best steak I've had in ages.
I loved the Pub on Wharf and visited 4 times! I tried the Beef Wellington, Pork Belly and Fish & Chips, all of which were marvellous. I thoroughly enjoyed the live music which was on every night. A good selection of beers were on offer including Mac's Apparition. Thanks to the team for being so welcoming!
Great service, consistent performer, good value meals with a good, relaxed vibe
The pub is one of the many places located around the Steamer Wharf. This one is located on the Beach Street end of the building towards Earnslaw Park. They do have quite a bit of outdoor seeing so it might be easy to miss the entrance to the place. Keep an eye out for the door and the menu located just outside it.
The indoor area is quite large and has normal and taller tables to sit at. The menu has a range of standard pub food and drinks. You order at the bar and get a number to bring back to the table. I ended up grabbing some cheesy garlic bread and onion rings and both were nice. They also did have a Beef Wellington on the menu which looked nice. The portions were decent for snacks and a decent amount for sharing.
It was a nice place to grab some food and relax for a bit.
Was walking back from work and my eye fell on this place so thought to give it a try believe me it was really nice to listen to some live music and I totally enjoyed the beef wellington only suggestion would be if we could customise the cooking level of the beef it would be amazing but you guys know the best I went back home very happy.
Thank you
If there is one pub you would come just for food in town, then this is the one. Of course it’s always better with some beer too.
Nice pub in town. They offer good selection of food with reasonable prices and big portions. Can eat two meals in a day here if I could but wanted to explore more places in Queenstown. Warm and cozy vibe which is a plus.
The wide variety of $20 meal choices makes it somewhat of a challenge to choose. The bottomline is that you won’t be disappointed no matter what you choose. You order food at the bar and it is delivered to your table in a timely manner. You can sit inside or out and the people views are great both places.
Great location with friendly prices, good service. Beef Wellington is just $20, great value, also cooked beautifully and very delicious. Went to few steakhouse in queenstown but nowhere beats here. Strongly recommended.
$20 mains! Ordered the beef Wellington for myself and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meal. Rich, flavorful gravy, perfectly cooked beef and flakey pastry. Also got to try the Chicken Parma, Rump Steak, Lasagne and all were great.
Great atmosphere and lovely live music in the pub.
Without a doubt, the best pub in town. They have been offering the "20 dollars meals" for years and they are tasty and big, to calm down the appetite you build up in the slopes. They have live music, some times is great and some other times are less than great. The atmosphere is really friendly and warm.
