Great service and amazing food. Stopped on our way back to nelsom hoping to get a gluten free pie. I had one of them on my last visit and i have to say that in the 20 years that i have been GF, that this was hands down the best Gluten Free pie I have ever had. Sadly they didn't have any so had a GF banoffee slice. Tasted amazing. Hopefully they make those GF pies again in the future as its worth the drive from Nelson.
My husband and I dined here on 14/11/2019. We had Grilled Mussells, which were amazing. I am Coeliac, so therefore gluten free. I was informed they had a separate fryer for the chips I ordered and assured me the sauce was gluten free. The staff could not have been more accommodating and considerate of my requests. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend a stop here if you are on the way to Nelson or spending some time in this friendly town. Thank you for a enjoyable meal.
My partner and I decided to try this new restaurant for a special occasion. The online menu mentioned that they had many options for those with celiac disease. We were glad we had made a reservation because the restaurant was quite busy when we arrived. Surprisingly, our food arrived quickly and the portions were not large, but the flavors were delicious and the presentation was lovely. The raw Hapuku and Venison dishes stood out the most. The service was attentive and professional. They had a wide selection of wines, craft beers, and ciders. It was the busiest restaurant in town that night, and we hope they continue to do well even after the initial excitement wears off.
Had a fantastic lunch. The setting in the garden was lovely, the food was all fantastic, including a good range of veggie and gluten free options. All the staff were very friendly and efficient. The extra glass of bubbles for it being our honeymoon was also a nice touch

We stayed here for a couple of nights for an 80th birthday celebration in the private bar. Very comfortable 2bdrm units. The staff at the tavern looked after our gluten free needs really well, we were impressed. We'd definitely stay here again.
10 star rating... Big thanks to the Woodbourne Tavern team 💕
We found the Crow Tavern in Picton while travelling NZ in a motorhome using wikicamps. If you ask, the owner may allow a self-contained motorhome to use the carpark if you come in for a meal or a drink or two. We did just that. They also have a separate menu to cater for coeliac. We met George the owner and publican while ordering our meals. We had a lovely chat, and he went through the hotels history with us. The walls are adourned with historic photos and documents detailing all the known history right back to the beginnings.
The pub toilets are the cleanest toilets we've come across in NZ.
Thankyou George for your motorhome hospitality. A big two thumbs up from both of us.
Fantastic coffee - a bonus that they use Oaklands milk. Amazing selection of slices, scones and other foods. Lots of gluten free options. Ginger crunch is the best! Highly recommend
