There is something satisfying about a brand that travels well. The Star & Garter name shows up in UK towns like Falmouth and Silsoe, but also in New Zealand spots like Auckland and Oamaru. Menus shift with the geography—fish and chips beside beer-battered haddock in Cornwall, then Coromandel oysters and lamb’s fry on the other side of the world. This guide pulls together what is actually on offer at the main Star & Garter locations, from dish names and prices to where to download a PDF menu.

Star and garter restaurant menu with prices

Three locations, three price brackets. Here is how the costs break down side by side.

UK menu prices

The UK Star & Garter in Falmouth operates as a daytime café at 52 High Street (TR11 2AF), open Friday–Saturday 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM, with a price range marked $$ to $$$ on Tripadvisor (Tripadvisor (UK review platform)). The beer-battered haddock and chips dish runs £10.95, while sandwiches at lunch hover between £6 and £11. The Silsoe pub in Bedfordshire keeps more traditional pub pricing—burgers, pizzas, and share plates—with its most recent menu PDF uploaded in October 2025 (Star & Garter Silsoe (UK pub PDF menu)). The Silsoe site lists mains, nibbles, pizza, baguettes, desserts, and their signature skin-on fries alongside a cheese beef burger.

The catch

UK locations do not publish full price lists online—the Falmouth café relies on Tripadvisor reviews for what diners paid, while Silsoe requires downloading the PDF to see exact numbers. Phone ahead if budgeting is tight.

NZ Coromandel prices

The Auckland Star & Garter Hotel runs a full pub menu with pricing in NZD, and the current offerings are live at starandgarter.nz (Star & Garter Hotel (Primary NZ pub menu)). Starters set the tone: fries with tomato sauce and aioli cost $11, garlic bread $11, and cheesy garlic pizza bread $15. The Coromandel oysters draw locals in—half a dozen natural or battered runs $27, a full dozen $51. All burgers (pulled pork, beef and bacon, chicken, vegetarian) land at $23.50 with fries included. The 250g scotch fillet steak, sous vide medium with fries, fried egg, and onion gravy, costs $39. pizzas range $23–$26: Margherita $24, Hawaiian $23, Wool Shed Bay $26. Kids’ chicken nuggets or Hawaiian pizza are each $15.

For NZ visitors seeking local seafood, the Coromandel oysters represent the standout item—they are a signature offering that does not appear on UK menus at all.

Why this matters

The Auckland pub charges $24 for seafood chowder, while the Oamaru café offers the same dish for $10 during daytime hours. That is a 58% premium for the same category at the city location versus a provincial café.

Waikari menu costs

The Waikari location sits between Oamaru and the Coromandel on New Zealand’s South Island. A recent Facebook update from the Star & Garter team announced new entrée options including natural or Kilpatrick oysters. However, the Waikari-specific pricing and full dish list have not been confirmed against an official menu source. Steak options appear in social posts but without attached prices. Travelers should check the venue’s Facebook page directly or call ahead for current offerings.

Spec table: sample dishes across locations

Six dishes, three regions—the pricing spread tells its own story.

Dish Auckland NZ Oamaru NZ Falmouth UK
Seafood Chowder $24 $10 (daytime) Not listed
Oysters (½ dozen) $27 Not on menu Not listed
Burger $23.50 Not on menu £8–10 est.
Steak (250g) $39 Not on menu £14–18 est.
Fish and Chips Not on menu $17 (daytime) £10.95
Garlic Bread $11 $7 Not listed
Bottom line: The implication: UK menus skew toward fish-and-chip shop traditions, while NZ locations lean into oysters, burgers, and steakhouse-style mains. Auckland is the only site with a full pizza programme.

Star and garter restaurant menu pdf

Not all Star & Garter locations make menus easy to grab in advance. Here is where to look.

UK PDF link

The Silsoe pub has the most accessible UK PDF—the Star-Garter-Main-Menu.pdf was uploaded in October 2025 and covers mains, nibbles, pizza, baguettes, desserts, skin-on fries, and the cheese beef burger (Star & Garter Silsoe (UK pub PDF menu)). The Falmouth café does not publish a PDF; its offerings rotate daily and are best assessed by calling the venue or checking Tripadvisor for recent diner photos of menus. An older UK menu from January 2017 exists at starandgarterhotel.co.uk (Star & Garter Hotel (Historical UK menu PDF)), though it predates the current Auckland operation.

The upshot

The Silsoe PDF is the only current UK menu available for download. Falmouth remains a walk-in or call-ahead situation.

How to access PDFs

For NZ locations, the Oamaru café at 9 Itchen Street has a PDF hosted on ato z-nz.com (ATOZ-NZ (Oamaru menu PDF archive)) that covers the full day menu including the $10 daytime specials, $8.50 children’s fish and chips, and the $20 SuperGold Thursday deal. The Auckland pub keeps its menu live online rather than as a downloadable file. The Waikari location does not have a public PDF; its updates appear on Facebook. For anyone planning a trip, downloading the Oamaru PDF before leaving home makes sense—it lists the Star Toastie from $5, the Triple Treat combo at $10, and the phone number 03 434 5246.

Star and garter restaurant menu oamaru

Oamaru is the smallest Star & Garter location but the one with the most documented deals.

Oamaru location details

The café sits at 9 Itchen Street, Oamaru, and the welcome message on the menu is personal: “Lisa, Anne and staff welcome you to Oamaru’s Oldest Established Restaurant/Café.” (ATOZ-NZ (Oamaru menu PDF archive)). The phone and fax number is 03 434 5246. The day menu runs until 5pm, with items that skew homestyle: seafood chowder $10 with crispy garlic bread, Grandma’s Lambs Fry & Bacon on creamy herb mash $10, beer-battered or pan-fried Southern Blue Cod $17 with chips and salad. The Star Toastie starts at $5 with choices including cheese, tomato, mushroom, and ham. Children’s fish and chips cost $8.50.

Thursday is the standout day for value. The SuperGold Card programme offers a $20 meal between 11:30am and 2:30pm—diners choose seafood chowder, roast of the day, or beer-battered blue-cod with chips and salad, plus a free non-alcoholic drink (SuperGold Govt NZ (Official NZ senior discount programme)). Bookings are recommended on Thursdays.

Every Thursday between 11.30am-2:30pm we offer a $20 meal, either seafood chowder, roast of the day or beer battered blue-cod, chips & salad.

The pattern: Oamaru is a daytime café that rewards seniors and budget-conscious travelers. The pricing is deliberately modest compared to Auckland, and the Thursday SuperGold deal makes it one of the best-value spots in the town.

Star and Garter Waikari menu

The Waikari location is the hardest to pin down precisely.

Waikari offerings

Recent Facebook activity confirms the Waikari kitchen is active. A menu update posted on the Star & Garter Facebook page announced new entrée options including natural or Kilpatrick oysters, alongside steak options. However, the prices attached to those dishes have not appeared in an official document. It is unclear whether a formal menu PDF exists for Waikari or whether offerings are adjusted week to week. Travelers heading to Waikari should verify current options directly with the venue, as the menu appears more flexible than Oamaru’s established day specials.

UPDATED MENU ALERT – New entrée option – natural or Kilpatrick oysters.

What to watch

The Waikari location lacks an independently verified price list. Anyone planning a specific meal there should call ahead to confirm availability and cost.

Whether the reported Waikari sale affects the kitchen’s direction remains an open question—the current Facebook posts suggest the team is still operating normally.

Star and Garter coromandel menu

The Coromandel peninsula is where the Star & Garter leans most heavily into local seafood.

Mains list

The menu at starandgarter.nz (Star & Garter Hotel (Primary NZ pub menu)) lists mains that reflect the peninsula’s fishing culture. Coromandel oysters are available natural or battered at $27 for half a dozen or $51 for a full dozen. The scotch fillet steak at $39 is the highest-priced single dish on the menu. Burgers at $23.50 with fries cover all dietary bases—pulled pork, beef and bacon, chicken, and vegetarian. Pizzas range $23–$26, with the Wool Shed Bay topping being the premium option.

Fish and chips pricing

At $29, the fish and chips on the Coromandel menu represents a midpoint between Auckland’s pub pricing and Oamaru’s café rates. The dish is not listed as a daytime special in the way it is at Oamaru (where the blue cod runs $17)—at Coromandel it sits as a full evening option alongside steaks and burgers. Visitors comparing value should note that Oamaru’s blue cod is $17 during the day, while Coromandel charges $29 for a comparable plate.

What to watch

Prices at Coromandel reflect the peninsula’s premium location. Budget travelers should prioritise Oamaru’s daytime menu for value and save Coromandel for the signature oysters.

The trade-off: Coromandel charges a premium for atmosphere and location. Oamaru offers better daytime value but a more limited evening menu.

Upsides

  • Full online menu with prices for Auckland
  • Coromandel oysters as a signature NZ item
  • PDF available for Oamaru day menu
  • SuperGold Thursday deal at Oamaru is genuine value
  • Multiple UK and NZ locations under one name

Downsides

  • UK locations lack published price lists
  • Waikari current offerings unverified
  • No cross-location unified menu
  • Oamaru evening menu limited
  • Silsoe PDF only current UK option

Oamaru runs a day menu until 5pm with items like chowder at $10, lamb’s fry at $10, and blue cod at $17. The UK locations (Falmouth in particular) operate morning-to-early-afternoon hours, making them effectively lunch-focused venues.

What is the most popular Star and Garter dish?

The Silsoe PDF remains the only downloadable UK option.
