Great tapas- we got the pork belly, fried chicken, cauliflower, fries, meatballs, raw fish and a pizza. All generous sizes and prepared well.
We had 2 small babies with us and staff offered a high chair and were very kind when we knocked over and broke a glass.
Came here tonight for dinner and the food was so good! I got the fish and chips and my partner got a spicy meat pizza, polenta chips, broccolini, and fried chicken and honestly everything was so good. The fried chicken was seasoned really well, not greasy and enjoyable to eat. The spicy meat pizza was really good too. The fish and chips was awesome, the beer batter chips were sooo crispy and crunchy and the fish was so soft on the inside and the batter was just right.. not greasy, oily or falling off the fish. Everything had really good flavours I was genuinely surprised that I enjoyed everything! I really want to commend the chef for such good food! Will definitely be making Mr. Illingsworth our local now! Highly recommend!
This restaurant is very tidy and calm .
Service is excellent.especially there are lots of lunch menu that is reasonable potion and delicious.

Our favourite new local :) We love a trip to Mr Illingsworth.
The staff are wonderful - all so friendly, and were really good to us and very apologetic one night when they were absolutely run off their feet and our food took a long time to come out.
The food is really nice - my favourites are the prawns and the fried chicken. But everything is delicious! Except for the desserts.. They need some work.
It's a great spot for a drink and some nibbles on a sunny Sunday arvo, or a dinner out. Fair warning though - it gets VERY busy on a Friday night.
You can't book a table unless you're a party larger than 12 (I think it's around 12), which is a real pain as I would hate to plan a function for a group of say, 8 (our usual), arrive and not have a table confirmed and then not be able to get a table for that number, so I have been reluctant to bother going at peak times with a large group for that reason. But, they seem to feel like they don't need to offer a booking service, so what can you do..
It's located in the new "Point" building on the Peninsula which over-looks the Countdown car park, so, don't expect to be going their for the view, but it has been such a great (and much anticipated) addition to the area.
Our bill always seems to add up pretty quickly.. But, it's a great spot nonetheless, especially if you're a local. My family were some of the first people to build on the Peninsula (or Tat North) roughly 70 years ago, so I love and appreciate the history behind the name as well :)
Awesome staff here and the fact that they are so passionate about their craft really does show. Me and my family loved it here from the entrée, the mains and then the dessert 👌🏾 Keep up the great work guys.
Loved the fish and chips. Had amazing service and lovely atmosphere. Waiter was friendly, helpful and polite. Well done Mr Illingsworth! I'll be back!

It was our first outting to Mr Illingsworth and we weren't quite sure what to expect. We were a party of 5 for Mothers Day and are all seasoned restaurant diners so our standards are high. We started with the shared starters - the spicy cauliflower bites and pulled beef croquettes. They were absolutely delicious and obviously all made fresh by the kitchen. Big thumbs up from all of us. But the best was yet to come. The eye fillet was a visual feast and perfectly cooked, one of our party had the pizza and found the thin, crispy base and topping was freshly made by the restaurant and faultless, while the fish and chip orderers on our table easily had the best fish and chips any of us had seen or tasted. Beautifully cooked fish in crispy thin batter, and the chips are just the best ever.
Mr Illingsworth is a tremendous addition to Te Atatu Peninsula. The food is 5/5. The service was great. The staff are friendly and efficient. We will all be back. Thanks for a great evening and Mothers Day.
I have been here many times since the opening and have not been let down once! We have dined with and without kids and the experience as always been pleasurable. Food, service all top notch!
First time here and tried pork belly bites for entree and eye fillet and donuts for desert . Good food and good service and reasonable prices
Yummy food, nice service and only a short wait for the meals. We ordered a pizza, garlic bread and prawns and were very pleased to receive them all at the same time after only a short wait. All three items were full of flavour and very enjoyable. We weren’t sure why the waitress brought us tomato sauce considering what we ordered, maybe that is their normal process to place a bottle of sauce in he table after a customer has ordered.
Great vibes in Te Atatu. Outdoor area is really nice on a good day. Food is always fresh and full of flavour. Highly recommend the raw coconut fish it’s a highlight. Also very pet friendly in the outdoor area. Will definitely be back.
I've had the pleasure of visiting this place on two occasions, and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed my experiences. The food platters and individually prepared dishes are exceptional, making it perfect for sharing with a group of friends or family. The drink selection is impressive, offering a wide array of flavorful options.
However, if you're planning a romantic date, it's worth noting that this place tends to get quite crowded and noisy. That's because it's a popular spot for groups of people who are here to have a great time.
A great bar and restaurant. The food and hospitality is always the best. Plenty of parking and there is also an outdoor dining area.
Really nice place. 1st time there and the service was amazing. Super friendly staff who looked after our table of 18 well.
Dinner options are fantastic, generous portions, drinks innovative, very attentive staff. The only issue is the kitchen can't handle big crowds in my opinion hence it's a long wait for the food to arrive. The staff do let you know that it's a 30 min wait though. Suggestion: order the mains when ordering the starters
8 of us went tonight and we were all impressed. Great waiters could not do enough for us. Food very high standard large portions and very hot. Would go again. Thankyou
Great food & Great Service ! Staff are on to it, very helpful! Thanks for looking after me and my family, well deserved Mothers day lunch for our mum.
The food was spectacular, great atmosphere
The service was on point.
Thanks to the staff
Good first impression. Will follow it up. I think owned by the trusts west Auckland. A nice location. Good atmoshere without people. Outside feels cozy. Staff are attentive. Only tried a pizza. Not rating this as i need to do a starters mains and desert in one sitting. At the moment...really good. Doenst feel like it would where thin anytime soon.
Not going to lie. Only went here as sugar grill was full. Nonetheless was a really nice experience. Food was super and brought out really quick. Staff are very friendly too.
I don't know if I'm just old now that I'm passed the tender age of thirty, but the gangster rap music at 12:30 on a Friday afternoon was a little loud and didn't fit right.
