The Oakroom is a bar and restaurant at 17 Drake Street in Hoteo, Rodney, in a building that was a stable in the 1900s. The website says it keeps its historic features, with solid oak, natural brick and soft lighting, and it is a venue for events and gift cards. Its menu runs from thin-crust 12-inch pizzas, with gluten-free bases for $5 extra, through steak, fish, chicken, pork and braised beef to sandwiches and sorbets. Pizzas are listed at $27 to $29.50 as at 2026, and they can be taken away with up to 30 minutes' notice.
Lunch is served from 11am to 3pm Monday to Friday, and dinner from 5pm to 8pm Tuesday to Friday. Menus change with the season. A VIP guest programme is free to join, and the website says it brings promotions and monthly events. Customers are asked to mention allergies, and the website warns that cross contamination may occur. Our pick in Hoteo for a pizza and a glass of wine in the old stable.
