We enjoyed some great tasting pizzas and super fresh fish and chips. The pizza toppings where exceptional. The food service is super quick although you do have to order from the bar. They also have some nice cocktails and an excellent gin bar.

Stumbled upon this when out for a walk and we were very pleased we did! We were warmly welcomed and the service was prompt and friendly. The 2 pizzas we had were delicious and arrived very quickly straight from the oven. We opted to sit...in the garden area outside as it was very pleasant and peaceful to enjoy a couple of beers and the pizza. Hunting a pizza- this is a great place to go!More

Recommended by hotel, this was fab food and friendly staff, pizza was very tasty and Blackberry and Vietnamese mint soda was refreshing. If you are visiting this area this is well worth a stop.

My wife and I went to this local spot in Russell. We ordered a Margarita Pizza with anchovies, a Greek Salad and a Cider on Tap. The food was good. The ambiance was fun and outdoors. Service was helpful and friendly.

This is the best casual eating place in Russell. It was so good we went 2 nights in a row. We had pizza, fish and chips and tacos. The fish and chips were spectacular, the pizza was great. Highly recommended.

Been here several times and enjoyed it. Arrived three minutes before opening on a rainy day and was advised to go and do a little more shopping as they hadn’t put the cutlery out yet. So off back out into the rain to wait. The...calamari was okay and straight out of a freezer pack from the wholesaler. The two pizza mains were again okay a thin layer of tomato with a few small pieces of mozzarella scattered on the base accompanying around ten baby finger nail size pieces of fennel sausage. No one bothered to ask if we enjoyed our food and when we left with the staff still out numbering the customers no one bothered to say good bye or even thanks. Let’s see if the awards still come in this year.More

We just love this place. Great food, pizza, fish and chips, fish tacos, all cooked to order along with an extensive choice of beers, larger and wine to accompany the food. I’ve never been to a place where the is such a welcoming ambiance, whether...it be quiet or busy. We live in the UK but go to Hone’s as often as we can when visiting Russell. There are long tables and benches, (sit where you like, it’s a great way of meeting people from around the world), both under cover and outside, or if you wish, some smaller tables for couples. Order at the bar and just wait (but not for very long) for your food to arrive. The staff are lovely, always friendly, welcoming and efficient. This is an absolute must place to frequent whilst in Russell.More

Fantastic little restaurant for an evening out. Lots of seating both inside and out. Lovely landscaping - would be really nice to sit outside in the warmer months. Cosy seating indoors with plenty of comfy cushions and heater for our night there. Pizzas are very...very good. The pizza base is done just right and ingredients are fresh. Service friendly and efficient. Highly recommended.More

Amazing place can’t recommend it enough! Recommended by locals in Paihia and we can see why. Staff super friendly and very welcoming, food delicious (with veggie options) and whole place had such a wonderful vibe. Perfect - Thanks so much!

Wonderfully simple - yet very tasty - food; highly recommended. My Chicken, Red Onion and BBQ sauce pizza was wonderful on a thin crust - cooked in an authentic pizza oven Mrs W’s Greek Salad with Chicken was tasty and plentiful Service was excellent -...attentive, yet not overly friendly - set off an great evening.More
