Bridge House Lodge Bar & Restaurant

Have been waiting for our meals for over an hour. Have watched tables after us get there food. Not impressed. Had to ask twice where our food was.

Great place to go any time of day or evening. Good food. Casual & relaxing place. Ithere is plenty of indoor and outside seating. A separate room is available for private functions is available. Also pokie machines for a bit of fun. Fireplaces.

Great restaurant, nice ambience, river side, great hosts! Totally walkable for Warkworth village. Accommodation definitely clean.good basic accommodation.value for money! Never would shy off staying again!

Pulled in on Good Friday evening and was greeted with friendly, bubbly staff.
Atmosphere was extreamly welcoming and warm. Food was very very good. Overall, such a great place to go watch the game or stop in on a roadie.

1000/10

Had a few waitress trying but.they were extremely busy so completely understandable than a guy waiter came over an it flowed well an the ladies behind the bar overall all staff did extremely well.food was great an drinks atmosphere was great. Short notice of 5 minutes reserved after I called for 7 people an we had 1 chef an one restaurant manager with us an they understood so great place to go to

Staff so friendly, food super.
Very nice place to go with family or just to relax and watch the sports on TV

Five stars for the restaurant, 3 for the accommodation. Food earns 5 stars - fabulous! Every course we had was delicious. Staff in restaurant were lovely, but we did have to keep putting our hand up for attention (and staff to tables ratio looked ok). Accommodation was over priced. We stayed in the old part under the eaves, which was cute, beds comfortable. But inadequate toilet paper, towels and check in was unwelcoming (4 in the afternoon- so they weren't overwhelmed with the bar/restaurant activity). And please do something about soap dishes and local information! Shout out to the housekeeping staff who helped us and others with key returns in the morning (because there were no instructions on how to check out).

The restaurant is great. Excellent food & service. Really recommend the Portobello Mushrooms.

Great food and beer
Pokie room
Friendly staff
Comfortable beds
Recommend this place.

After being shunned away from the disappointing Matakana Village Pub, the staff at the bridge house were amazing, really hospitable and just brilliant!

Thank You The Bridgehouse for saving the evening from being awful and making our Daughters holiday come to a wonderful end!

Had a lovely lunch here, the Poke bowl with Salmon was great - very generous with great flavours and the pulled pork sandwich was also really great. Thoroughly recommend

We stayed at the lodge. The room was fine and reasonably priced for what it was. Clean and tidy with comfy beds, and although the bathroom was old and water pressure wasn't great, it was also clean and clean towels were.provided each day. There was a jug (with tea and hot choc sachets but no milk) and small fridge in the room plus TV - although the TV did not work and staff were una le to help. We ate at the restaurant one night - We had the ribs, polenta chips, keto salad, slow cooked lamb and kids Mac n cheese. The food was great and quite large servings. The service was a little slow but staff were friendly and were scanning vaccine passes upon entry.
4 stars for the restaurant.

Highly recommend bar and restaurant. Enjoyed drinks. Awesome food and great service Ebny lovey and friendly staff. Stayed in the hotel. Neat and clean. Extra services provided as required. Highly recommended and would love to stay during next visit. Location is great. Enjoyed water view and drinks n dinner. Awesome pace to be in workworth.

Just magic. Great service and excellent steamed mussels. Even a slice of lemon in the finger bowl. Thanks. I will be back

Kicked Out out for forgetting to bring mask, when I said I'll go get one I was told I'm not aloud back, left a sour taste in my mouth for sure no doubt that I've had to deal with anti covid anti mask wearing but I am not one of them

Top notch on the night visited, staff super diligent with scanning - even checking when someone who had already scanned in had popped out to get something to see if they had scanned in.great to see. Food was really good and the staff who served us were all outstanding, best wait staff encountered for a while.really enjoyable dining experience, kudos.

Again, staff.brilliant.

Had a late lunch and everyone we met was super hospitable and welcoming. It was a beautiful restaurant overlooking a river. The food was delicious too!

Absolutely the best Poke bowl I have ever had and the blueberry Margareta was sublime. Will defines be back and be telling all about your fabulous menu and service

Awesome, Tu meke.service from the team was prompt, efficient, friendly, thank you and well done!
The meal! WOWthe scotch fillet with peppercorn sauce on mash with veges was absolutely delicious. Compliments to the chef.
The lamb, slow cooked was the same. Wow!
A beautiful setting overlooking a quiet street the evening we were there or on the deck overlooking the stream.
Inside had tonnes of seating.
Above all, People make a business, you are the assets of the business and you all can be proud, 'hold your heads high team! '

We had the Scotch fillet (medium to well) with mash and seasonal vegetables as well as the Cider glazed pork belly with a side of rocket n balsamic salad with parmesan. For starters we had garlic bread and tempura prawns. Staff were pleasant although even though we booked there was a slight mix up with tables but we got there in the end. They had an issue with the kegs that day so no tap beers were available however this did not affect our dining experience. Food came out in a timely manner. The Scotch fillet was well presented n tasted good especially the seasonal vegetables. However the mash was not to my liking. Seemed like it was not only potatoe which I was not expecting. My partner said of her pork belly dish that the crackling was crunchy but the pork was a little dry and also commented on the unusual taste of the mash. The overall combination of the flavours were delicious. The dill dressing with the tempura prawns was a highlight.

I'd like to end in saying the staff and ambience of the place were outstanding. If this was a pub food review it would be 5/5
