The Celtic Inn is an Irish-style pub in Regent Arcade at 73 to 77 Broadway Avenue in Colyton, Palmerston North. The website calls it the city's only true local, and it is known for its pint of Guinness, with craft beers also on tap.
The kitchen serves pub food, with pulled pork croquettes, beer-battered jalapeño poppers, a beef cheek and Guinness pie, fish and taties, and Irish long rolls at lunch. Oysters are served on ice, and desserts include a chocolate fudge pudding and a trio of ice creams. The website lists a lunchtime special and an express lunch menu. Pre-ordering is available for a meal ready on arrival, and dine-in, takeaway and phone orders are taken. Opening hours are 11am to late from Tuesday to Saturday, with a licence to sell alcohol from 8am to 2am. Our view is that it is a good local pub for a pint and a plate of Irish-style pub food in Colyton.
