I walked in expecting a cheesy, British-style pub and average food (for no reason, I just had my doubts).
What I received was expertly prepared food which with rich flavours and that fit the theme perfectly. Service was exceptional. The gravy with the venison pie was superb and the pie itself had a perfect, crispy top pastry and succulent meat in thick sauce within.
The pork belly was one of the crispiest I've eaten, so decadent. And the schnitzel is one of the best in the area.
The pub itself is tastefully decorated in the British style which makes for a very cosy experience in winter with real (not gas) fireplace too. I can imagine the beer garden being great for shmmer too.
Well what can I say, wow, what an awesome place, we love theme bars and this one is awesome, what a beautiful place to go for a meal, even just a drink would be great. We had the seafood chowder and others had the venison pie and the beef schnitzel all very good and beautiful meals everyone was so happy with there meals. The bar is well stocked and place has such a homely feel. Complements to the staff and chef and owners, best meal in Taupo we have had.

The food is delicious 😋 and the service is amazing. Thanks, ploughmans restaurant, for the night and dinner 🌙
This place has great large portions! The service is a bit slow to be honest, one of the only negatives about the place. We ate here twice and were stuffed and loved it each time. Be prepared to drop about $80nz for two people with a drink or dessert though! Photos as of feb 2020.
Just had an amazing dinner.
2x Adults, 3x children.
We had the salt and pepper calamari, kids cheese pizza and fries, chicken and bacon salad, fish and chips with 2 fried eggs, lamb shank and pork ribs.
All of it was just incredible.
Fantastic friendly service, attentive to every need, fast with preparing and delivering our orders.
Loved the atmosphere.
Loved everything about it.
Well worth it and we will definitely be returning next time in Tsupo.
Thank you all for making such a magic meal and evening for us.
See you again.
The wife and I switched to Ploughman's for our local, on account of the nice setting/atmosphere and the awesome staff! Special shout out to Taylor, an absolute legend! 🤙🍻
After a few bumps we’ve finally found a great place to dine in Taupo. The atmosphere is amazing and very English to every single detail. The service was outstanding which it made our evening even better and the food didn’t disappoint. The serves were huge, I had the beef schinitzel and it was delicious, crispy and soft and to top it up the desserts were just as good. If you want to have a great experience altogether this is the place.
Excellent service. We had a great meal. Loved the setup. We were there on a busy weekend with a football festival. Would recommend.
Great English pub, if your looking for good food, friendly service, happy staff and cold beer with a nice place to sit outside and enjoy the sun then Ploughmans is for you.
Great pub atmosphere. Lovely selection of food. Did not feel rushed at all. Portions on the large size. Great value for money.
