Sprig + Fern Tavern Tahuna

Sprig + Fern Tahuna is the bar by the beach, just a dash across the playing fields from the world-famous Tāhunanui Beach.

Whether post-paddleboard, fresh from football, or after a day soaking up the sun, it's the perfect spot to unwind. With classic weatherboard cladding, a white picket fence, and a sunny, spacious garden, this local quickly feels like home.

Alongside award-winning craft drinks, Sprig’s resident chef ensures the food keeps everyone happy - from stellar sharing plates of buttermilk fried chicken and thai fishcakes to sit-down meals for the family, there’s something to make every day a little brighter. True to the Sprig + Fern brand, everything is made from scratch, from house-made burgers to the signature IPA aioli.

Sprig + Fern Tahuna is also deeply rooted in the local Nelson community. Weekly quizzes raise funds for local charities and schools, while sponsorship of Tahuna FC and various touch rugby teams ensures contributions go to the right places.
