The best Sunday arvo biker pub?

Too many good pubs nation wide.
Te Kaha before the fire was a good stop.
As Hitch mentioned, the Avoca has a good feel about it. Awakino, Matawai, Naseby, The Red used to be the place after cemetery circuit.
Awahuri, hell, way too many.........

If you are ever in Christchurch go for a ride to akaroa, before that you will hit little river, the pub is just before the village stop there for a really good feed and excellent service.

Lol one time there was about 50 bikes there and a R1 came hooning down the hill and went wide on the corner to the bridge and smacked a car... wasn't the excitement we wanted to see....

It's been a couple of years since we've called in. I keep meaning to organise a Corgi Run one summer weekend...

I remember the good old days when the Kentish was a place you could always get a good old fashioned fight at.

Word to the wise: Never win a game of pool against locals at their pub!

Raglans a surf town , shark bait always has nice looking girlfriends much like freestyle mxers and stunt monkeys
