Tauriko Pub Co.: A Community Pub for Tauriko, Tauranga

Tauriko Pub Co. was built as a gathering place for the growing community of Tauriko and the surrounding Tauranga area, combining good food and great beer in a setting the pub describes as familiar and sophisticated. Whether it's catching up with mates on a Saturday, a cocktail night with friends, an after-work drink with the office, or a family birthday, the pub positions itself as having something for everyone.

From Share Plates to Pub Classics

The menu opens with snacks and bites like fries with aioli, poutine, kumara fries, jalapeño parcel poppers, arancini, baked brie and a chicken liver parfait. The small and light section moves into tomato basil soup, pan nachos with shredded pork, pizza bread, salt and pepper squid, Nashville fried chicken and grilled garlic prawns.

Hand-stretched 12 inch pizzas cover margherita, mushroom, grilled chicken, prosciutto, chorizo and pepperoni, with vegan, vegetarian, gluten-friendly and dairy-free alternatives available. The TPC Classics section is where the pub's heartier cooking shows up: a chef's selection dish called The Main Event, scotch fillet with a choice of sauce, chicken pesto pappardelle, chicken parma, Peroni battered fish, and a pair of standout burgers - a smashed smoked beef and pork burger and a Nashville style fried chicken burger. Salads round things out, including a grilled chicken caesar and a roast vegetable salad with grilled halloumi.

Built for Families Too
