THE CRAFTY LOCAL – PAIHIA’S NEWEST GASTROPUB

The Crafty Local has quickly established itself as the leading Gastropub in the tourist mecca of Paihia, the heart of the Bay of Islands. This new restaurant and bar ticks all the boxes including location, food, drinks, and an exceptional fitout. 

Located on the waterfront of Paihia between the main hotels and the CBD delivering great foot traffic volumes. Across the road from the ferry wharf, it has also become the focus for locals seeking great food and beverage options. Paihia has embraced casual dining and The Crafty Local is ready to capitalise on it.

Food options are comprehensive from the Breakfast, All-Day, Kids and Twilight menu’s driving all day revenue. The new all electric commercial kitchen has the chef and staff working in harmony to create and deliver fantastic gourmet meals. The drinks are the star of the show with arguably the largest range of New Zealand Craft Beers on tap from luminaries such as Fortune Favours, McLeods, Parrotdog and Urbanaut to name but a few. Cocktails are well catered for with local distillers being highlighted including Black Collar and 144 Islands.

The fitout is exceptional giving an instantly familiar and warm feel of a modern gastropub. Natural surfaces, luxurious booths and leaners are part of a flexible layout ideal to the varied offering and events. Even the bathrooms are Instagram worthy ensuring this is a must-see destination.

The business is sold with a lease linked to turnover, a fantastic advantage in a seasonal location. Paihia swells in summer with visitors looking to lap up the northland lifestyle and cruise ships filled with tourists looking for a local experience.

Having been operating for just six months The Crafty Local has already been included in the Top 50 New Zealand Gastro Pubs. The owners are reluctantly relocating, and the business has been priced to sell!
