Five Stags Cromwell describes itself simply: food for everyday folk. It's a classic South Island bar and restaurant with a great atmosphere every day, welcoming locals grabbing a beer with friends, families out for a meal, or larger groups looking to celebrate an occasion.
The menu centres on pub classics done well - a Crispy Chicken made with a secret blend of Five Stags spices, a proper Fish & Chips with garden salad and tartare sauce, and a Caesar Salad built with bacon, cos lettuce and parmesan. For something heartier, the Ribeye Steak lets you choose your trimmings (and add prawns for a full steak dinner), while the Baby Pork Ribs come smothered in homemade BBQ sauce. A full bar snacks menu - chicken bites, fries, wings, jalapeño bites and calamari bites - rounds things out for anyone settling in with a drink.
