Frederic's: New Plymouth's Local Gastro Pub in a Historic Georgian Building

Housed in a beautifully restored 100-year-old Georgian building, Frederic's has been a beloved New Plymouth institution since it opened in 2009. It's built on warm hospitality and honest food - the kind of gastro pub you can bring your parents, your kids, or your mates to, and everyone feels at home.

Modern Comfort Food, Done Right

The kitchen's philosophy blends modern comfort food with refined classics. Crowd favourites like the Freddies Cheeseburger and loaded Fred Nachos sit alongside premium mains such as the 10oz Ribeye Steak and Chicken Breast Stuffed with Chorizo. Sharing plates - from a Bucket of Mussels in white wine, garlic and herb butter to St Louis BBQ Glazed Pork Ribs - make Frederic's a natural spot for a group night out.

A Weekend Roast Worth Booking For

Friday through Sunday, Frederic's runs a Weekend Roast Deal - a Roast Ribeye of Beef with Yorkshire pudding, roast vegetables and gravy, finished with a bread and butter pudding and custard for dessert.

Craft Beer, Wine and Cocktails

Behind the bar, Frederic's pours a rotating selection of craft beers on tap, backed by an exciting wine list and a thoughtfully curated cocktail menu - making it as much a destination for after-work drinks as it is for dinner.

Sustainability at the Core

Frederic's aims to serve the very best meat the land has to offer, using the whole animal where possible to make the most of every cut and reduce waste. The kitchen supports less intensive farming, regenerative agriculture and full-circle cooking as part of its approach to sustainability.

A Space for Every Occasion

Whether it's a casual meal, a family celebration, or after-work drinks, Frederic's positions itself as a place rooted in quality, comfort and genuine local charm - and the venue can also be hosted for private dining, birthdays and corporate events.
