Overview

A community hub in Matamata, Good Merchant is a smart gastropub scouting the best local talent and serving epic plates of pub grub. They're poets and they don't know it...
Let there be light! Thanks to their incredible conservatory, you can enjoy dinner with a front-row seat to the setting sun. And with a sunny patio, you can go completely al-fresco! Just make sure to hang around after supper; soon enough this eatery will reverberate with live music and howling laughter when the funniest comedians are in town.
At the Good Merchant, nothing is rushed. Soak in the bubbly atmosphere with some grazing plates, like some crispy arancini balls, pork belly skewers or duck wings with some fiery Korean BBQ sauce.
Move on to a hefty burger, filled with beef, chicken or falafel. Alternatively, dust off the dancing shoes for the broadway BLT pizza or embrace a food coma with the lamb shank with creamy mash or classic fish and chips. And when it comes to beer, it's Good George or nothing... it's the jewel in Hamilton's crown for a reason.
