Steak with vegetables and fresh herbs at JARKs Cityside Restaurant & Bar in Hastings

JARKs Cityside Restaurant & Bar occupies Hastings’ Old Corn Exchange, but its story began at Waimarama Beach in 2007. The family took the name from the initials of their four children, then moved the same welcoming food-and-service philosophy into town in 2014. Today the Cityside restaurant opens Tuesday to Saturday for lunch and dinner, with snacks between the main services and the bar, coffee and function sides of the business running alongside the dining room.

The opening end of the menu is designed for several styles of visit. Warm bread or cheesy garlic pizza bread can start a conventional meal, while a seafood basket, grazing platter or ploughman’s plate gives a group something to share over drinks. Green-lipped mussels, lemon-pepper calamari and pork-and-pickle sliders sit beside pizzas that range from caramelised onion and mushroom to butter chicken, making the bar menu broad enough to support either a quick snack or a table that stays awhile.

For a fuller plate, JARKs keeps recognisable favourites but changes the details around them. Beer-battered fish comes with fries and salad, roast chicken with mash and vegetables, and ribeye steak with herb butter. A beef-and-bacon burger covers the classic pub route, while pan-seared beef with rice noodles and Vietnamese-style slaw provides a fresher, lightly spicy counterpoint. Seafood, pasta and other lunch dishes add further choice outside the formal group selection.

Dietary needs are handled through specified adaptations as well as separate dishes. Several fish, chicken and steak choices can be altered for gluten-free or dairy-free diners, while Italian-style cauliflower and broccoli, sweet-and-sour tofu and a berry-and-dark-chocolate cheesecake give plant-based guests a coherent meal. Together with table bookings and function service, that range helps the Old Corn Exchange venue work for mixed groups rather than only traditional pub-food appetites.

Address: 118 Maraekakaho Road, Hastings 4120, New Zealand
