Delicious food,
Fantastic service,
Relaxed atmosphere
Quite simply, that's what you can expect at Split Bar & Restaurant.
Located in the centre of Whangarei's CBD, our restaurant and cocktail bar offers a cosy yet contemporary dining experience, while our garden bar provides a fun, relaxed atmosphere and a giant screen for all of the big sports fixtures.
We use fresh local produce, seafood and succulent New Zealand beef & lamb, complemented by a selection of New Zealand wines and a range of beers on tap.
Our friendly team pride themselves on their attentive service - but don't take our word for it, come in and experience it for yourself. We look forward to hosting you.
All in the family
Split was established in 2007 by two brothers, Dan & Karl Marsland, who have an ancestral connection to the Dalmatian coast of Croatia.
After 17 years embodying the values of outstanding hospitality & hard work that were passed down to them, in 2024 the boys handed over the reins to another set of siblings, Gemma and Olly.
Gemma and Olly have over 50 years of combined experience in the hospitality industry and share the same passion for the style of hospitality that you would expect to encounter in a small, Mediterranean village - warm, generous and celebratory!
Eat, drink & be merry for nothing else matters
That is the spirit that drives us at Split.
For us, hosting isn't just a job, it's engrained in our way of living - and we work hard on making sure that's reflected in the experience for anyone who visits Split.
Whether you are in for the full dining experience or just a drink and a nibble, the Split Team have got you!
