We were on our way to Whitianga and were told about the magic Mussel Fritters that come from the Coroglen Tavern.

3 years ago, Landlady (In the traditional Coro St fashion) Michelle and her other half Jed, bought the pub from Michelles parents and are redeveloping it as they can.

As responsible hosts, they are providing an area for Motorhomers to spend the night after enjoying their hospitality. As Michelle said, “They haven’t finished here yet”.

The Coroglen Tavern is the local for a wide area of Coromandel and is a well known Saturday night music hotspot.

We timed it beautifully with our arrival bang on lunchtime and it was very hard to go past the Seafood Basket and of course the amazing Mussel Fritters. YUM. This is a serious must do!

There is parking around the back or we just parked Rafe in front.

Jed and Michelle and their staff were very helpful and as I said, the food was something out of this world. Try it 🙂
