Great service, good selection of food, our meals were very nice. It was a very busy night when we were there, with two or 3 kids birthday parties, (we were there early). Even though it was busy we didn't have to wait too long for our meals. Value for money and a great menu for kids.

Lovely friendly staff and food is always excellent. Love to bring the grandkids here every time I visit. The pork roast is the best and so are all the desserts.

We ordered drinks, took a long time to get to us. The food took over an hour. When it did come out it was cold, below average. The meat was dry and cold. A seriously disappointing evening for a birthday celebration. Such a large bill for such a below average service!!!

Loved my birthday dinner dining experience at Cobb and Co Cranford Street. Great decor, service, food and wine. Meals were delicious, hot and no long wait time. A happy customer. I appreciated my main birthday meal being free and sitting in the comfy booth seats. Will definitely return again. Michelle

We love the food. I always order the steak and traffic light drink! Temperature is perfect in winter times. Ordering via app is a good option. Looking forward to the robot bringing the food to the table :-)
Cobb & Co PapanuiResponded on June 1, 2025
Lornel, we appreciate your kind words! It's great to hear you enjoy the steak and traffic light drink. We're excited for you to experience our robot service soon. Thank you for your support and for choosing to order through our app!

The only thing that ruined the evening was how quick the wait staff appeared approx. Two minutes after we got our meal and asked if everything was okay. We had only just picked up our cutlery to start eating. We were sitting at Table 41. I also watched a staff member step over a discarded serviette 6 times before it was moved

The food was good, the service was pretty average - possibly someone brand new? The lady who served us didn’t know what the seasonal veges were (but did go check). We asked for a couple of bottles of sparkling water, she returned 2-3 time (including checking how many bottle we wanted), in the end we ended up with one tiny jug of water for a table of 6 adults. We found that it took a long time between ordering mains and receiving them (35min ish), which is not normally the case, and we didnt hear from our server. Then when the mains came she checked in on us twice in 10min, which became annoying. We did get desserts, we received them so spread out, maybe 10min between 2nd and 3rd dessert, and another 5-10 to get 4th
