Refinery Bar & Eatery

The unofficial local watering hole in Paraparaumu, Refinery Bar & Eatery is a firm favourite in the community. Bring the kids and the doggos, they're more than welcome!

This ain't your bog-standard local pub; it's so much more. Inside it's wonderfully colourful and lavish with plush, crimson booths and stylish contemporary touches. And that's before we've got to the enormous outdoor patio which is a noisy hub of chatter and laughter. In all, it's spacious and friendly, so there's no excuse to not bring the whole gang around!

The menu might be small but it still keeps everyone happy with its traditional flavour combinations and healthy options. Welcome the afternoon with a chicken, beef or vegan burger, or keep it light and refreshing with an instagrammable buddha bowl.

Their evening menu is stuffed with pub staples... with that refined touch! There's everything from pies to pork belly, lamb rack and lentil curry. Add some beetroot and goats cheese for a bit of zing, peruse the kid's menu to keep the little 'uns happy and kick back with an award-winning bottle of red. Tough life, eh!
