ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Staff are amazing! Restaurant and bar absolutely amazing! Food is STUNNING! DRINKS ARE PERFECTION 🙏🏻 price and location perfect adore this place

We had an evening meal here, nice atmosphere next to the fire.
The lady managing the bar was super friendly and helpful.
Burger meals were excellent, however fish and chip meal was disappointing and let the evening down, two small pieces of fish and chips, looked like a childs meal.
It is a shame when the kitchen lets down the hard work at the front end.

Went here, with a small group, for lunch on a weekday. The restaurant is readonably-sized, and the large windows offered some pleasant views across the Waiuku area. The menu was a little odd; some descriptions were not very clear. The service was laid-back but efficient. There were about 12 other diners, and meals came quite quickly. I found out later that I could have added about seniors specials. Meals all seemed to be of good quality and quantity. Overall, it was a small step above other country hotels in NZ. All staff I encountered were natural, helpful and unpretentious.

We went to Waiuku visiting some friends & as it was lunchtimeish we needed feeding.
The suggestion was made to go to The Kentish for drinks & lunch so off we went.
The place has old school charm with great dining room & bar that had a sunny airy outlook with tables spaced around.
So we studied the menu which has good reasonably priced selections & picked Fish & Chips for Lunch.
We ordered some drinks & had a chat while waiting.
The food arrived & looked so appetizing
it was nicely presented we enjoyed eating it.
The service by the wait person was very good & efficient.
Definitely a great place to go for Food & Drinks in Waiuku.

Did not have 2 of the wines that were on the wine list. Put us on the deck where it was cold and would not move us. Food was very nice though. This is the 3rd time we have been here and always have some sort of issue. Won't be going again.

Just got to say thank you from my Mum
and her friends who had lunch with you yesterday. They said the seafood lasagne was incredible and the fish and chips were also delicious.
They commented on how lovely the staff was and Barbara looovvvees the t-shirt she brought.
You helped in making some happy memories and I thank you.

Buffet style, hot food in containers that weren't kept hot, so food was cold. Have been here before for a meal and food was not nice. Also partners food brought out alot later when mine was nearly gone. Restaurant has gone downhill.

My husband and came to the Kentish for our first wedding anniversary. Had the meat sharing platter for 2, WOW what a feed, tasted good, soo much food, service was great. We are so lucky to have this place as our local.

Only reviewing the restaurant we ate in as we didn't stay in the hotel at all.

TLDR Please don't go here. Eat a bag of crisps or buy a pie at a service station. Longer review below...

I really don't want to say anything disparaging about this establishment as my partner and her family have some wonderful memories of it, however this may just be the least enjoyable dining experience I've had in many years.

The unfortunates:
- eggs so overcooked I thought it was served on whole grain bread (is was actually just the bottom of the omelette)
- steak so vastly overcooked we couldn't cut through it, even when asked for rare. Mostly pieces of cartilage.
- took 90+ minutes to recieve our order when only one other table was occupied at time of arrival
- water glasses had lipstick and other people's saliva on the rims when we arrived.
- out of several menu options.
- when commenting on some of the above to the wait staff was told "you may as well keep it because it'll take too long to cook another".
- flies all over food and in kitchen when looked in through the serving window.
- very expensive for everything, even if it was good food.

The positives:
- gorgeous view
- open air windows let a good breeze through
- good lemon lime and bitters

I'm so sorry to the staff who have to defend this place.

We dined today at The Kentish and it was the worst restaurant experience we have had in a very long time. Ordered at 2:20pm, food did not arrive until over an hour later. When we mentioned to the waitress that what we had been served was not what we had ordered she was extremely rude and stated that we could "either wait 30 minutes for the kitchen to make the right meal or eat what we were given". After this, she informed us that the kitchen had no more eggs and that any meals that were still to be served would have no eggs before walking off without providing an alternative or solution to any of these meals. We were still waiting on an eggs Benedict - hmmm....? So were we only going to receive a meal with bread and hollandaise??). Of the meals that did arrive, the bread in the steak sandwich was so stale it couldn't even be cut with a knife and the steak itself was fatty while the portion sizes of fries around the table varied greatly. The buns in the burgers were also stale and our final meal of fish and chips was missed and arrived 20 minutes after the rest of the meals. When we asked the same waitress about where the meal was, we were met with more rudeness in the rather creative reply of "in the kitchen". The plates also arrived dirty. After speaking to the manager, we were offered 10% off the final price (bearing in mind there was a 15% surcharge for the public holiday so we were effectively still paying full price) and a free round of drinks, while I appreciate how the manager was kind and did her best to rectify the situation, this barely covered the appalling service and food. 1/10 stars - one point only for the building itself being historical and quite a lovely location.

Love the nostalgia of this building. So rich in history. A long serving duty manager has recently ended employment here and has relocated across the ditch marking this an end of an Era. They will be be sorely missed and very hard to replace. They were part of the appeal to The Kentish.

Average service at restaurant. We ordered the seafood platter to share and weren't told when we ordered or when it was brought to us that they didn't have any salmon for it and that is was replaced with extra squid rings. We were a couple minutes into it when we realised it was missing from the platter and asked the waitress about it. At $45 for the platter, a few extra squid rings to replace salmon doesn't really cut it.
Other than that, the venue, facilities, and gaming room were very good.

Me and my daughter shared a plate of nachos. We sat outside in a little area with tables in the sun. The nachos were great. Full of flavour with a really generous amount of guacamole and sour cream on top. The place was clean and the staff was friendly. The meal was served in good time. I will be going back as we both enjoyed the visit. The plate was large l, we didn't finish it.

Visited for a quiet beer after Kariotahi. Lovely staff, working very hard. Loved the atmosphere, an old hotel feel still present and added to the experience. The food we ordered was great and well priced

Had 8 of us booked in for dinner, tryed the Wednesday night scotch fillet special. The staeak was absolutely terrible, we all asked for medium rare and got very well done steaks. Service was average, the glasses the beers come in smelt like dirty rotting eggs. Would rate my visit a 1/10. Definitely won't go back ......

We had lunch on Thursday the 11th August . We had creamy mushroom with potatoes and chorizo, fish & chips and vegetarian fettuccine. Gourmet level and excellent and very friendly service. Highly recommend. Well worth a visit . Will return any day !😀

Played there with the band Groovelink. Really enjoyed it. Crowd was very cool

Great service , nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, this visit let down by my steak sandwich that had small fatty piece of steak that certainly didn't match the rest of the sandwich. Wife's meal was good however.

Great job guys well done.
