Grangers Taphouse and Kitchen

Love this place. Great food and view. It gets busy on the weekends however during the week a perfect place for a cold beer or glass of wine. They make a great gin and tonic as well.

Writing scathing reviews is never my intention. When looking for an establishment to nourish me, I am happy to pay handsomely for sumptuous cuisine.
Arriving at the venue, the waiting staff were busy, yet friendly, helpful and accommodating.
My wife and I were seated promptly and given time to peruse the menu.
We ordered a light lunch. Calamari, skins and pork laksa.
I’m a big fan of laksa. I eat it at all restaurants that list it in their menu.
What I got was packet noodle laksa. With minuscule pork chunks thrown in and five udon noodles. There was an overpowering taste of coriander as if to mask the fact that this laksa was missing vital laksa ingredients.
There was no coconut cream, no chilli, no lime juice. I paid $ 18 dollars for a packet noodle soup! The prawn on top of the laksa wasn’t even fresh. Hard to imagine but it was worse than the packet noodle soup.
My wife had the calamari. It was the best of our dishes. I enjoyed the calamari… probably because my laksa was so damned disappointing.
The potato skins… were interesting, but I’d never get them again. Gordon Ramsay would have had a tantrum if he was served this crap. This establishment was supposed to kick off our 8 year wedding anniversary holiday to Waiheke. Hopefully I just got there on an off day. But I won’t be wasting any more dollars on Grangers.
Thoroughly disappointed.

Always a good experience at Grangers. Food is good and consistent. Staff are friendly and attentive.
It’s always reasonably busy, even on a chilly wet night like tonight.
As good for breakfast as it is for lunch as it is for dinner, or just a good drink

If food envy and FOMO strikes you at every outing, this is the place for you. Great selection of small plates to share or if you are not into sharing, there are just as many delectable meal choices. Either way, attentive friendly service, good food, relaxed atmosphere, comprehensive drinks list, chic décor makes Grangers ideal place for a good time with friends and family. Oh and parking is free.

We are locals and just love this place, friendly service, great atmosphere and wonderful views over the marina. The layout is very open and comfortable.

I somehow lost a couple of hours after I stepped in Grangers. We just popped in for a late-​afternoon beer, and ended up sharing some squid from the excellent tapas menu, and then some fries, and then we justed wanted to try one more on-​tap craft beer…
You get the picture. This is such an easy place to settle in to, with a total indoor-​outdoor vibe and a fresh sea breeze, and in case you over-​indulge, they have this cute little row of white Grangers bicycles outside that you can take for a head-​clearing spin around the bay. To top it off, they also have a good-​looking kids menu and the staff are absolutely accommodating to families.
