The Wayward Pigeon

Lunch or dinner plans going a little wayward? We know just the place! Specialising in gastropub eats and a joyous, communal vibe, The Wayward Pigeon is setting hearts aflutter in Hamilton.

And in classic Kererū style, we're crash-landing on this homely establishment for some much-needed comfort eats with loved ones. Whatever you have in mind, you can graze in their relaxed bistro, complete with sports screens or head to the more formal dining room that basks in the soft glow of giant lanterns. Perfect for large gatherings or cosy date nights, don't be afraid to follow the Kererū's lead and get a bit merry!

If you're joining the flock for lunch, you're in for a treat. Prepare for an absolute Kiwi feast with some green-lipped mussels, fish and chips and some Kiwi-inspired pizzas. Have yours topped with sticky pork belly or roasted pumpkin and feta. And don't forget to check out the burgers - the ultimate midday feed comes with a beef patty, grilled chicken or beetroot and falafel.

For dinner, they're bringing out the big guns. Scotch fillet is cushioned by a soft herb mash, whilst the slow-cooked lamb rump finds pals in some roast butternut squash and marinated feta. For something that won't induce a food coma, the sticky rice bowl and salmon salad are nutritious and delicious. Just don't be surprised if your good intentions go wayward with a Whittaker's cheesecake...
