We occasionally get to Havelock and make a point of having a meal at the Mussel Pot. The flavours are always delicious and the service very good. It has a friendly casual atmosphere and is a must for mussel lovers.

You cant pass through the mussel capital of the world without eating mussels, and the Mussel Pot serves up a delicious feast of these. We had ours steamed with a ginger, coriander and cream sauce but there are plenty of delicious choices. Great service and...More
Visited early evening with kids keen to try the green lipped mussels. The mussel platter was delicious and we all enjoyed our meals. Prices are reasonable and staff were attentive and pleasant. Felt a very relaxed place to go which isn’t always the way with...More
