Fiercely independent, award winning bar, eatery & functions venue. This must be the place. Welcome to Fantail & Turtle.
(475)

We’re a whānau owned, fiercely independent, award winning bar, eatery & functions venue, driven by core values of manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga, & whanaungatanga. Located in the heart of Takapuna, Fantail & Turtle is the place for everyone, a destination suitable for all occasions, and able to host unforgettable events for up to 600 guests. Architecturally designed by award winning studio Izzard, featuring extensive gardens, all weather outdoor spaces, and flooded with afternoon sun. Whether you need a table for a few quiet ones or a private area to turn the music up & let your hair down, there are multiple spaces to choose from, and a dedicated Functions & Events Manager to work alongside you to ensure a flawless and stress-free experience. Our team are industry leading & regularly recognised amongst the best, and we can’t wait to show you why. Just like our venue, our menu is designed to be shared with friends. Expect fresh & local craft beer, real ale & cider flowing from 15 taps, an on-site microbrewery, a wine list covering near and distant regions synonymous with varietal excellence, an extensive gin list enhanced with botanics fresh from our on site gardens, bespoke cocktails to sip late into the evening, and a modern seasonal menu, designed to share with a focus on showcasing sustainable & locally sourced produce. Dishes will arrive as they’re ready, perfect for all day grazing. We operate a waste-free kitchen, repurposing everything that doesn’t make it to the plate into stocks & sauces. proteins are free range & house-butchered where possible. fish are sustainably line caught, processed whole and dry-cured on site. herbs & greens are foraged or picked fresh from our gardens. food scraps are returned to the earth through on-site composting. we are proud to partner with small local producers who share our values and commitment to sustainability. We’re fiercely independent, which means we stock only what we’re proud to serve. Every bottle and every keg is hand selected, mostly from small & independent producers, made by people that we love, and chosen for you, our manuhiri (guests), to enjoy, with us.

End-of-year functions, without the faff.

Some years call for something intimate & low key, others for turning up the music and a margarita - whatever is on the agenda, we’ve got the space to match. Whether it’s a smaller team in our sun-filled glasshouse, a catch up with key clients, or a well-earned team celebration for 600+, we’ve got the right spot, and just the right energy, to bring your people together.

Our Functions & Events Manager works with you from the first email to the last drink, so you’re never decoding run sheets or chasing caterers.

The weather can be a coin toss. Our spaces aren’t. Gardens and all-weather outdoor areas flooded with afternoon sun, plus indoor options when Auckland does its thing.

Good food, good drinks, good people.

Dates are filling fast, and December doesn’t wait for anyone. Flick us your numbers, a date or two, and what you’ve got in mind - we'll take it from there & do our best to make it unforgettable.
