After a day on the water if you are sunburnt, hungry and sleepy, Hones is a great place to stop for a beer and a snack.

Cool and casual. Nobody will notice your wind swept look or if you start to nod off after a delicious craft beer.

Nice setting in outdoor garden area but our pizza was dry and had very little chicken or ingredients for the money we paid for it not great value

I have been to this tropical garden a number of times and it never disappoints.
The wood fired pizzas are delicious with thin bases with an excellent choice of
toppings. Great to have a pizza chef from Italy in the kitchen! The casual
ambiance is relaxed and chilled, self service water/cutlery is easy and it is
the perfect place for a casual meal with friends and family. Highly recommend.

Four of us waiting at the gate at mid-day today so restaurant was not busy. We were told that 'only half the menu was available including no fish and chips and no large salads were available.' We were charged a 'main meal' price but were served pizza base with no topping on, sprinkled with some DRY salad leaves with long stalks, a few baby tomatoes and 3 bits of uncooked mozzarella. i.e. we could have bought these items at the supermarket and tossed them on the plate. We were not offered waters and no-one came to check after we started the meal if everything was okay. Not impressed. The meal was not worth the price we paid.

We popped over to Russell for a quick visit and my partner and I were craving fish and chips.

After looking at a couple of menus we decided Hone’s sounded the best (beer battered fries made our decision for us).

The fish was perfectly cooked (and we got 2 medium sized pieces), the chips were yummy, even the tartar sauce was nicer than I’m used to.

5 Stars!
