Maid Of Auckland

I’ve driven past the Maid of Auckland many times when going up South Road, and to be honest, I’ve never wanted to walk inside, mainly due to its appearance from the outside. It doesn’t appear to be one of those modern pubs that have undergone extensive renovations. According to other reviews, it has been renovated,…

As part of my wine tour, the group felt like something a bit more substantial than what the wineries were offering in terms of food, so we decided to check out the Barker Hotel. This recently renovated pub is both ultra modern and chic, with a seating capacity of over 100. The staff are friendly…

Every shopping centre has a yiros store in their food court. For Westfield Marion, Kazbar Yiros is the store. Today, I ordered the Combination Yiros Plate. Lamb and chicken were succulent and tender, and provided in generous proportions. Vegetables were fresh and crisp. Garlic sauce had a nice thick consistency. Pricing is fairly consistent for…
