A slice of indie East London in cutesy Petone, at Queen of Jackson you'll find an international sharing menu and rotating beer selection.

Enjoy Petone's glittering coastline from their stunning rooftop garden bar which has become a fixture in the town's skyline. It's catered for NZ's typically unpredictable weather with an extendable roof and heated seats for those kinds of days that try and blow us off our feet. Plus it comes with 14 beer taps so you don't have to trudge up and down the stairs.

The menu takes a no-frills attitude and concentrates on the quality of its ingredients. Take the opportunity to sample as much as possible and order several sharing plates for the table, like their pulled pork tacos, chicken karaage, wakanui beef dumplings and bao buns that come vegan or with chicken. Mop up every last bit with some grilled flatbreads or add some crunch with their charred broccoli.

And with the beers changing from one day to the next, you can always count on an exciting beverage you won't have tried before.
