About

That is a solid tally for a suburban pub, and it suggests a kitchen locals return to rather than one relying on passing traffic.

A website at https://www.thehardwarepub.com/ carries the restaurant's latest information. Wellington, the capital, lies within reach of the address, and the wider region holds most of the country's urban life.
