Review The Brook Bar & Eatery - Rangiora

The atmosphere was lovely. The staff on today (Wednesday Lunch 8/11/23) were so friendly and polite. Our meals were absolutely smashing! Hubby had the Blue Cod (large), and I had the Nacho's with a side of chips. OMG!!! So good! Phone went flat so no photo of Blue Cod, sorry. Go see for yourself!

Excellent service. Friendly and welcoming wait staff. Comfortable indoor seating at tables and booths. Good selection of beers including some great local craft beers. Food was good with a few of the usual favorites on offer. Good range of pizzas. Plenty of off-street parking.

Great food & service! Would give this place 10 stars if I could! Simply amazing! *Edit* I've been back 3 times since writing this review and it's still beyond amazing! Would strongly recommend coming here if you're nearby or passing by.

Lovely and warm by the fire on a cold evening, great food👍

I was here as part of a large group. The meals were not only superb but all delivered within minutes. Fantastic service. Thank you The Brook Bar.

Hadn't been for a while and staff still remembered us. Meal was excellent. Great place to wind down.

Good service. Good pub. Might be my new local when I'm out in Goon. Went there this week and unfortunately the blue cod and chips were not very good. Beer batter was thick and chewy more than crispy. I asked for my chops to be extra crunchy which they weren't. Ordered side of lemon pepper squid too which came to us floury and lacking in taste. On a good note they re-did it for me but kind of spoilt my appetite by then. Thankfully the partner is a greedy guts

Had dinner on Sunday night. The young waitress was polite and I was very impressed. My chicken salad was delicious and so was the cream brulee cheesecake 😋

My dad, brother and I dine at the brook bar every Wednesday 😉 its consistently great food, lovely service and overall just an amazing restaurant x

The Blue cod was absolutely delicious, my husband loved it, best he’s had in years. My t bone was cooked to perfection and juicy as, thank you (Phil) the chef and kitchen staff, thoroughly enjoyed our meal, when we are back this way will definitely eat here again and again, cheers Jeannie and Phillip

Excellent roast dinner and steak cooked really well. We love the pub atmosphere and excellent service.

Great place to take the family, lovely staff. Our meal was delicious generous portions and all well priced.

Thought I was coming to a ho hum bar and grill but the food was exceptional quality with great friendly service. And we are fussy diners. Well done team.

Beautiful meal, highly recommended. Good service, great staff. Will go back.

My experience at the Brook Bar , The Brook Bar : as we walked through the doors you could sense it is more of a public bar than restaurant (no partitions or separation between the two ) as we were seated the noise and atmosphere was pretty full on from the public bar side (probably not the right place if your after a slightly quite night to go for a meal. THE FOOD: The one thing that surprised me was presentation of food was simply outstanding (note to self take photo of plate lol )it looked like a 5 star restaurant but as the saying gose don't judge a book by its cover.........well let me tell you as good as it looked ,it tasted simply outstanding the two other people withme were saying the same The only issue is portion sizes portions need to be balance (nit picking really lol) but overall absolutely outstanding this is just my opinion best thing id say is go and visit the brook and experience for yourself ENJOY.....ps parking is an issue if the public bar is full

Tasty food, decent portion sizes, drinks a little expensive but not too bad.

Food came quickly and was tasty, in good size portions for the special. Waitstaff were pleasant and attentive, will come again 😀
