Jolly Good Fellows

Jolly Good Fellows is Taupo Central’s ode to the great British pub - relaxed, welcoming, and proudly local.

An icon of Taupo hospitality, it pairs a breezy, convivial dining room with a huge outdoor deck that showcases some of the best lake and mountain views in town. Indoors or out, it's the sort of place where conversation flows and the mood is unmistakably jolly.

The kitchen keeps things honest and hearty with good-value pub fare. Slow-cooked pork belly arrives with all the trimmings, and there's plenty for grazers too, from crispy pork bites and bruschetta to loaded fries or cheeky chips 'n' dips. Come evening, a Moroccan lamb and feta salad sets a generous tone, rounding out with the classic comfort of apple crumble.

Behind the bar sits a vibrant selection of drinks, poured with old-fashioned hospitality. Families are well looked after, with options for younger diners and plenty of space to settle in.

Head lakeside, claim a spot on the deck, and let the good times roll! After all, at Jolly Good Fellows, the clue is in the name.
