Enjoyable pre Christmas 'Ladies who lunch' catch up with friends. First time visitors all round and a lovely cosy pub interior, dimly lit, classic 70s/80s music bangers played at a volume that still allows for easy table conversations.
Two of us tried the lunch specials (Burger and Beer for $24!). It was such excellent value I had to check the year was not in fact 2007. Deal included burgers and sandwiches which all came with fries and included a schooner of tap drink (including premium Kirin beer and even cider!)
I had the Club Sandwich which was more inspired by a traditional club sandwich as it was served in turkish bread and no triple decker, but all the fillings were there. Chippies were perfection. Portion size was huge.
The third diner had an a la carte schnitty which was well relieved but the mushroom gravy was a bit lumpy.
The bar stuff were super friendly and attentive. Order at the counter, get a buzzer and pick up your meal at the kitchen hutch.
Lots of daily specials on offer.
Located a short walk from Wynyard station behind Wynyard Park, The Occie is truly a hidden gem and we will certainly be back. Thanks for having us!
