Formerly the Papanui Working mens Club - damaged from the earthquakes and now fully re-built!  One does not have to be a member to eat there - or indeed play - though you miss out on the benefits they are offering.


We had a family gathering there so naturally sampled their Garlic Bread.  The arrangement on the plate looked great.  Though the napkin underneath spoiled a perfect 5! The bread itself arrived luke-warm and lacked the "garlic" flavor I am always looking for.  It was there yet barely discernible.  There are times I get the impression that instead of using genuine Garlic butter some Garlic OIL spray is being liberally applied.  Guess that saves on preparation and skill and at the same time changes the "flavour".  Plenty of bread to go round for two people, almost to much. ( the picture does not give a true indication on the length of the breads)
We shall leave it at that.
