Coroglen Tavern - Whitianga

A good stop between the Hot Water Beach and Whitianga. We rang ahead to make sure that the kitchen was still open and we were in luck. The Tuesday night special, steak, eggs and chips was good and the fish and salad also received a thumbs up. The staff friendly and helpful. Parking was right outside the front, door but on a busier day parking in front of the pub could be more good luck than good management.

A couple of us decided to head to Coroglen to try out our newly acquired motor bikes. It appeared this Tavern was well supported by locals which is a good sign and it had a good vibe. I decided on a Hawaiian Burger and was not disappointed. Lots of fresh everything in it including bacon to accompany a generous sized patti and no less than 2 pineapple rings. Bun was decent and fries were on point. Chased that down with a cold one and this chap was as happy as with his lunch. Definitely be back regularly so I quietly work my way through the menu.

Great country pub. They do big gigs in the summer and it has a big stage area out back. Food is really good although there is no table service you order at the bar and collect your own food. Great atmosphere.

Classic Kiwi roadhouse with rural setting and fabled scallop burger, cold beers, and free eight ball on Sundays.

Good value for money if you are passing through, also good if you stay
