Mr Illingsworth

A great bar and restaurant. The food and hospitality is always the best. Plenty of parking and there is also an outdoor dining area.

All Blacks fans supporting Rugby World Cup semi final @ 0800 am! Awesome atmosphere, great staff, breakfast menu and vibe!

I've had the pleasure of visiting this place on two occasions, and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed my experiences. The food platters and individually prepared dishes are exceptional, making it perfect for sharing with a group of friends or family. The drink selection is impressive, offering a wide array of flavorful options.

However, if you're planning a romantic date, it's worth noting that this place tends to get quite crowded and noisy. That's because it's a popular spot for groups of people who are here to have a great time.

Food was good except they forgot to bring out one of the items. Also ordered a drink which never arrived after asking a couple of times.

This place is amazing everytime. They catered to our big group and even went above and beyond! The staff are amazing and kind. The kai tastes so good and very affordable. Would highly recommend!

Excellent, friendly service, fast delivery of food order and even though it was 'only ' fish and chips, it was a generous portion, lovely and fresh with a tasty salad. Highly recommended

Good food, service was okay. Atmosphere was very average, music was ridiculously loud, to the point where we had to shout in each other's ears to be heard. Asked if they could turn it down a little only to be told it was due to a function. That should not come at the cost of the enjoyment to other patrons. Will probably not return, totally killed the vibe

I had the ceaser salad, which was very nice. Others had the burgers, which for the price were very underwhelming. Bun meat lettuce, and mayo, which they all thought was quite miserable for the price.

Great spot. Good menu. Finally have everything sorted I. Terms of their service. Chicken burger was good, but please stop filling the Heinz Ketchup bottles with whatever you call that red goo. It’s not good.

Good food, not a huge selection, but well prepared. Best thing is, the kitchen is open longer that the cafes nearby.

Cheers

Great food friendly staff

Quizz nite was awesome, only 2 in our team, we won a prize for 2ND place (errr ummm 2ND TO LAST) $ went towards our meals

I had the pleasure of calling Mr Illingsworth my local for this past week after visiting friends in Te Atatu. The staff make you feel welcome and offer a warm and vibrant atmosphere as though you're one of the locals, top marks to the manager who looks after you very we'll.along with delicious food and great beer. Mr Illingsworth is worth a visit!

Food is definitely not worth the money. Burger, tasteless and chips burnt. Hate to see what the steak would taste like. Very disappointed nice place to drink at need to sort the food.

Had my 21st here and would absolutely recommend have your next function here. The extended food menu available for functions was delicious and also very practical for socialising. The atmosphere was amazing on the night and the staff were incredible. Organisation of the function was super easy and flexible. Thank you for everything!

Wasn’t sure what to expect but as soon as we saw how well trained the staff were I knew we were in for a good experience. The bar food was good the wine delicious and got to meet the manager, Anton and share experiences of running good teams. He is really good and his experience running big venues and events shines through. Didn’t know this place was here but I am so glad we did.such an awesome venue for out and out fun.great staff. Good banter and a very very great (and needed) night.go check it out for yourselves…Make sure you get to meet Sydney because she really looked after us and is just simply the coolest lady. Thank you to the whole team

Feels like you are dining in the Countdown carpark. Not a nice setting. Food is average. Never any atmosphere, no music.

Took my family out for father's day, not gonna lie - they didn't like it when we got there. As soon as the food came through. Viola! They highly recommend this place more than Denny's so glad I took them over

Food exceptional, cocktails out of this world, music.amazing.

Tool a dear friend for a look for his birthday, had a fantastic evening. Have lived in the peninsula for a while now, annoyed I haven't checked this place out sooner

Shared a few cocktails with my sister. Reasonably priced. Quiet when we were there around 3pm. Our waiter was attentive and friendly.

Great bar, friendly staff & awesome barman that knows over 200 cocktails and happy to make any of them, even though only 5 cocktails on menu.makes a mean Pina colada. Have enjoyed several evenings here with friends and 2 lunches as well.recommend the twice cooked pork belly, & buttermilk fried chicken.and the pizzas are also great to share while drinking away in the last of the afternoon sun. $15 lunch menu is awesome value. I had the fish and chips when I went for lunch.delish
