British Isles Inn

Four of us Aussies dropped in for beer and a chat with Uwe and a couple of locals. Nice cold beer and a good atmosphere! We would visit again if we come back to Auckland. Thanks for a good afternoon.

The steak meal is one of the best I've had in The area. Cold beer, great staff and fun trivia even though we're just participants

A restaurant with delicious Guinness draft beer! I drank 4 drinks by myself. The Empire Ale draft beer was recommended and it was really delicious. If you order fish and chips, the owner will give you a pat on the back. Basically, everything is delicious and you can have a happy evening. Friendly staff make you feel good.

By far the greatest pub I have visited. Uwe (the owner) is the most amazing man I have met. Be sure to visit any and all days you get free

Where do I start…

Firstly, the lines for the tap beer taste like they’ve not been cleaned since they were installed.

The starters were Camembert and bacon + sausage bap. Camembert you can get better from the frozen section in pak n save. The bap wasn’t a bap nor did it have bacon, sausage was average, bread was soggy.

Mains were crispy pork belly and fish, chips with smash peas.
Crispy pork belly had no crisp and we struggled to get our teeth through the rubbery meat. Had 1 bite each and it was awful.
Fish smelt like it had been left in a chilly bin for 10 days, not on ice. Tasted old. Batter was soggy like the bread. Meal didn’t come with smash peas as stated.

On a plus curry sauce was delicious.

Absolute waste of money and time.

My partner has called the number below, left a voicemail and hasn’t heard back.

This place is amazing and friendly service. Love to support local and also love the beer ;)

Spacious and had great atmosphere. Had nice British beer that I can't often find in NZ on tap.

Firstly, the fish I had was first class, cooked to perfection, absolutely the best (half a) meal I've had in a long time. The rest of our party's meals were as amazing I was told. Also the two staff members wearing Black (AB vs Irland game night) were awesome.
But, what put a damper and a bitter taste to the evening, was the lady that cleared our table while I was still eating my food, I had half a meal left but couldn't finish it with her cleaning up, unfortunately I got stressed with her clearing everything off, she obviously thought I was too slow? It's sad with staff that doesn't have any manners, she could at least have asked before she started to clear the table. Also it would have been nice, to at least been offered to take the rest of my meal with me.
Anyway. Please, let the chef know how perfectly cooked everything was, could not have been better.

I loved the place as they served delicious foods and authentic Irish beers. Friendly staffs and professional services. Highly recommend to stop by and try foods and beers then you will understand why I am recommend the place.

Want an actual pint of properly poured Guiness? Then this is the place to be. The food is great (and well proportioned) and, despite being 12,000 miles away, it really does feel like a british pub.

Nice local suburban pub. Food is nice and reasonably priced. Good selection of drinks. Friendly regulars make for a nice atmosphere.

Can i ask if they do John Smiths extra smooth on tap thats bloody delicious can any one tell me thats would be awesome

Good atmosphere and place to have a feed and a beer Friendly staff. Best quiz in town. No other locals worth writing about in the area.

Went there on a Sunday afternoon about 4.30. It was quiet but as time went by the "regulars" started to roll in. The young girls behind bar were friendly enough although very quiet. Didnt try the food, roast day sunday, but have heard its pretty good. Wasn't much atmosphere due to being quiet but the beer was cold
Might try again on another busier day.

Really friendly, nice staff and very reasonable menu, quiz nights on Tuesday. I even met a lovely elderly couple who eat their every night as it's cheaper and nicer than cooking, they graciously let us share their table near the open fire.
This may turn out to be our local as we were looking at houses at the time.

Awesome dinner.great atmosphere and food.i had the lamb shank and it was delicious.totally recommend this place.

Great cosy friendly atmosphere with a wide variety of drinks and food available. Staff were very helpful too.

Great local drinking spot. Very well known and great staff. Use, the owner, is a live wire and knows his business. Good sport following too.

Great pub, reminds me of the ones i miss back home. Beer is well kept, staff are friendly and food is tasty.
