Play Pokies at Star and Garter Hotel in Coromandel

Best fresh local oysters from the Coromandal Coast. Tried both natural and battered.

Good atmosphere and good food. They have specials on during the week including pizzas which are really popular. There's a few vegetarian options on the menu. There's also a pool table, darts and a fire place.

Great service, food and atmosphere. Great pizza deals during the off season ??'?

We ate here two nights in a row during an early May visit to the Coromandel Peninsula. The historic 2-story building is the star of the business district, for sure, a charmingly restored old place that is very popular with tourists and locals alike. We sat at a table by the bar and ordered Tuatara hazy IPAs and the 309 pizza: pulled pork, smoked bacon, apples and apple syrup, which was quite tasty. We finished with Banoffee Pie, a yummy dessert of little baby pielets of butterscotch in crust, with walnuts (we think) and butterscotch ice cream. I also ordered a glass of Brookfields Syrah, which was delicious. The pizza, beer, service, and ambience were all so good that we changed our original plan to go to a different place the 2nd night. We came back here instead and ordered another pizza, the Buffalo Road, which had brisket, smoked bacon, onions, mushrooms, and chipotle aioli. It was yummy! More beer, more wine, more Banoffee, another good time!

Battered Oysters are great. Not over battered, lightly battered. Good menu selections. Lovely historic hotel in middle of Coromandel Town. Outdoor seating and plenty of parking at rear of building.
