Have you explored our new menu yet? We’d love to introduce you to one of our new favourite additions: house-made Vegetable Spring Rolls. Crispy and golden on the outside, filled with stir-fried noodles, fresh vegetables, herbs and a warming blend of Indian spices on the inside, and served with sweet chilli sauce. They’re also dairy free, so everyone at the table can enjoy them.

Light, fresh and full of flavour - the perfect snack or entrée as the weather warms up and we start making the most of those longer spring evenings ☀️

Come in and try them for yourself at the .

Mac knows exactly what he wants: your attention and a ball to chase. He's got the energy of a pup half his age and the charm to match - so if you spot him doing the rounds, don't be surprised if he talks you into a pat. Or twelve.

We are proudly dog friendly here at The Little Taphouse and we absolutely love meeting your four-legged family members. So next time you visit, bring your best mate along - we can't wait to meet them!

Exciting news - we have a brand new menu and we think you're going to love it.

We've been putting some serious thought into fresh, seasonal dishes that feel right for the time of year - and as spring arrives and the sun starts making more of an appearance, we wanted food that matches the mood.

One of our new favourites? Freshly baked corn chips with house made guacamole and pineapple salsa. It's fresh, it's light, and it's the kind of snack that pairs perfectly with a cold pint in the sun as we head towards summer 🍍🥑🍺

And that's just one of the new additions. Come in and explore the full menu at your - we'd love to hear what you think!

Not your average stout. Not even close 🖤

Emerson's Brewery Phantom Lord Hopped Stout has landed at the ! This is the OG - the original Phantom Lord that inspired the whole range. Proof, as Emerson's put it, that you can be dark without being brooding. It's demonically black, roasty and toasty on one hand, but on the other it's absolutely loaded with hops. Kettle hopped, whirlpool hopped, and hit with a big dry hop for good measure. The result is something genuinely unique: stout meets APA, and it works beautifully at 5.9%.

Come in and praise the Phantom Lord while you still can. Limited edition and pouring now🍺

A couple more things worth knowing - we're open all week from 3pm starting tomorrow, and tomorrow night is Quiz Night! Book your table now and come test your knowledge over a cold one 🧠

Cheers to Quiz Nights at the 🥂 We’re kicking off at 7pm tonight so get in touch today to book your table!

It's the last Sunday of winter - and what a way to see it out ☀️

The deck is bathed in sunshine this afternoon and we'd love nothing more than to share it with you. Pull up a chair, order a cold one, and raise a glass to the end of the cold season.

And One NZ Warriors fans, we've got you covered too! Kick off is at 4pm on the TV inside, so you can have the best of both worlds. Sun on the deck first, footy inside after. Sounds like the perfect Sunday to us 🏉🍕🍺

Come farewell winter in style at the . We'll see you soon!

Happy International Dog Day to our furry four legged friends, from Sparge and Brewser at the 🐶🍺💛

Have you tried saying Polotmavy yet? 😄

Pronounced poh-loh-TMAH-vee, Emerson's Brewery's latest limited edition is a Czech Amber L***r that is as beautiful to look at as it is to drink - and that photo says it all.

Polotmavy translates from Czech for Half-Dark, and it sits perfectly in that in-between space - just like the season we're in right now. The days are getting longer, the sun is starting to linger a little later, but there's still a definite chill in the air. This is the pint for exactly that moment.

Light and drinkable with a lovely toasty malt character and Czech Saaz hops, it's the kind of b**r you settle into without even noticing how quickly the glass empties. At 5.2% it's a very easy afternoon companion🍺

Pouring now at the .
