    Iced coffee comes with a huge chocolate fish and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Great as a dessert actually.

    Wonderful atmosphere. Recommend the rolls and also the burgers are delicious. The chips and gravy are a must as well.

    When it's good it's really good, but it's unreliable. I wonder if it depends on who the chef is. Autobhan can be too thick and chewy. The sticky date pudding is the best.

    I loved the smashed potatoes. A welcome change from the “fries with everything” that a lot of these places do

    Maybe this is a place for breakfast and not dinner? Some dishes are great (Cesar salad, Teddy Breast) while others not that good (fish of the day is definitely not of the day, 2 badly fried fingers)

    Loved the fried chicken and kumara fries. Wish we'd had more room to try out the menu.

    I've just been informed by the friendly waitress here that the vege version of 'the local' is bigger and better value than the bacon version. Take that carnivores!
