Pub burgers are judged on the patty and the bun, so a homemade patty with fresh toppings usually stands out. Chips are best eaten straight from the kitchen while they are hot. A burger often costs less than a full meal at a restaurant, so it can suit a relaxed lunch or a quick dinner. Regulars often order the same burger each time, since it shows how consistent the kitchen is.
The Taps suits Maungatapu and Tauranga locals who want good pub burgers and chips at a fair price.
