Nice atmosphere. Promoted as an 'Olde English Pub', but is not very authentic for an English person! More like what a New Zealander thinks an English pub might be like! Nevertheless, good service and nice environment. More

This pub is a great litlle place, so much character and also a great beer garden. The food however is not that special. We found the food to be very bland, it tasted like it had been just cooked from frozen. This is a really lovely pub to drink in...if they maybe made a smaller fresh food menu it would... More

This place isn't anything too special but if you have forgotten what an English pub looks like, or you are staying in Renwick and fancy a drink then it's worth dropping in for a quick half. More

Just what the doctor ordered...a good selection of craft ale and simple English food, including pork pie and English mustard. Yum. More

After reading local ads which discribed home cooked meals our disapointment new no limits. My fish cakes were deep fried from a packet with nothing between the coating. My husband had fishermans basket and it was equally tipped from a very cheap box into the fryer. The calamari in the rings was like a rubber band and the fish very... More

A nice, quiet little New Zealand interpretation of a British pub. Lots of good beers and cider on tap, very reasonably priced, great ambience. Used as a home 'base' by the RNZAF members based at nearby Blenheim. The food is OK, good 'pub grub' basically. More

We went here for a quick pub meal after visiting a few vineyards. While the atmosphere is cute and quaint, it's nothing exceptional. Add to that the food was terrible (beef hot pot was like microwaved leftovers) and very overpriced - do not go here unless it's for a very quick pint and you do not enjoy good service. More

If you're looking for a casual meal in Renwick, there's not a lot to choose from, but thank goodness for the Cork & Keg. We sat outside in the lovely courtyard on a beautifully mild evening. When deciding what wine to have with our meal, our lovely host suggested an Italian styled Montepulciano vino. Very nice. I chose the beef... More
