One of our favourites on a lovely Nelson day - sit outside in the great courtyard area and have devine food and local drink. The food is always good here and the hardest part is choosing as i could happily have everything on the menu....so many favourites - where do i start? the tacos are really good, so is the ceviche, flatbreads, burgers, pizzas, bao buns, poke bowl, arancini, buttermilk fried chicken. Last night we loved sitting outside with the setting sun and shared small plates of ceviche, flatbreads and tacos. devine. Its so good im meeting friends at the beach for a walk today and then we having lunch.More

Definitely made the right choice of restaurants in Nelson tonight. Went with the family of 7. (4 adults & 3 children) A very warm, friendly welcome from Mark, behind the bar on arrival, who also informed us of the night’s specials and was most helpful...with drink selection. He really set the relaxed tone for the evening out. The menu was quite extensive and the food we chose was delicious!! Talitha & Olivia were also very helpful, friendly and customer focused. Definitely left feeling we’d made a great choice of the many restaurants on offer in Nelson.More

After hanging out at the beach, our family and two other families with us decided to head to KFC for a quick feed and get back on the road. After trying to order a twister (haha), they had none so I decided to look for...something else nearby. So while the other 10 smashed some fried chicken, I ducked next door to the Spring & Fern and ordered the Pulled BBQ Jackfruit Pizza (takeaway). It was seriously one of the best pizzas I have EVER had. A spicy twang and perfect combination of the jackfruit, jalapeños and red onion on top. It was so good, I had to jump on here and let everyone know.More

Friendly staff, beautiful setting eating outside, delicious food. Especially the loaded pulled pork wedges. My son never tries veggies but he went back for more and there was beautifully cut veges sprinkled on these. It was a scrummy. They also let us feed a child...with our own food.More

Busy Friday night and we (2) managed a leaner table at the street front. Food was great (monkfish burger, small plates - mushroom arancini, and popcorn shrimp) drinks (beer flight) a treat and the staff friendly and helpful. Definitely worth the visit and I can...see why it was recommended.More

The recent addition of the expanded outdoor area and tables is fantastic. a great atmosphere. Near the beach and overlooking the sportsfields this is a great location. The beers on tap. And the food was really good. All made onsite we were told. We selected...four small meals to share falafels, arancini balls, thai pork bao buns, ceviche and all were really good. The falafel were the surprise yum. Delicious dip and pesto and all food prepared well and presented nicely. Thank youMore

Great pizza, lovely outdoor area. The Spicy Chicken Fajita pizza is fab. Too many flies in the outdoor area unfortunately.

So an excellent selection of craft beer i must say! Decor is really cool here really down to earth. Pizza we picked was amazing we were tempted to buy a second ae. Were in level 2 at the time of visit. Someone/a customer coughed on...the door handle and didnt use hand sanitizer provided before leaving, really gross! But they did have all the correct covid and ppe and signs and sanitizer around which is good. Good customer service too. Would definitely go back and would bring a group of people with us. We went for lunch but id say this place would be epic at dinner too. Did i say the pizza is amazing! Yes! Get the pizza people its awesome! My only slightly negative comment would be the opening hours are a bit off ae could be open earlier for normal lunch hours but yeaMore

Came here for a casual dinner as the reviews were good and it was handy. We had a classic burger and Cajun salmon Bau buns. The burger was ok, the fries quite good but spoiled by bargain basement tomato sauce on the side. It was...so bad we asked for some aioli as thought it might be better but were told this would be an additional $1.50. Which we weren’t prepared to pay as shouldn’t really be charged if happy customers are valued. The salmon bao buns lacked real flavour and would have been so much better with a nice Thai/Vietnamese sauce (easily made in 5 mins). I guess the Sprig & Fern fills a gap in the market but could actually be far better with little extra effort We couldn’t fault the bar staff who were super friendly and helpful.More

Just roll up. They've extended their garden bar so there's plenty of room. It is popular.
