Valentines - Wairau Junction

Me and my family attended valentines buffet tonight for my daughter’s birthday dinner and I was so amazed with the staff, service and dinner options. It is our first time coming to Valentine’s in over 10 years and we were amazed at how much the place has changed ! Big shout out to the Fiji crew on the kitchen ( Milly,Billy,jay and ash) we highly enjoyed our food tonight !! Thankyou very much for the great experience and we will be back soon !! Thanks, David khan

Update: 13/11/23 They have increased the price again. It is now a whopping $36 for lunch! The food is good, but not $36 good. I probably won't go there again. I went again today, 10 Feb 2023 and it was as good as the last time. I left very happy. I wasn't sure if I needed a walk or a lie down 🙃🤔😀 Previous time: I visited before Covid (so a few years ago) and wasn't impressed at all. The food wasn't good at all. Then I saw a few people mention on a Facebook post that the North Shore branch is great, and I thought I would give it another try. The lunch price is a bit steep at $32. The food was really good! I enjoyed everything I ate. I liked it so much that I went back the following week. The ladies are so friendly, helpful, and attentive. They keep clearing the dirty dishes, and check up to see if you need anything. They have a seafood station, a chocolate fountain, a coffee machine, a great selection of cold and warm desserts and puddings, a carvery station with different fish and meat, and a big selection of food ranging from soup (the seafood chowder is my favourite), butter chicken, chickpea curry, with naan (yum), veggies cooked in various ways, selection for kids (nuggets, chips, pizza), and an awesome salad bar. There is a clear sign posted on the cold drink machine that states there is a one off price for their bottomless cold drink and slushy machines. It is also on the tent menus on every table, so people are well informed that the only exclusion of the buffet is the cold drinks and slushies. I'm so glad I gave it another go!
