Another visit to the Warhorse and are as delighted as ever that the beef ribs are still amazing! Always take a white chocolate raspberry ripple cheesecake with us, as it is to die for - and sometimes can't fit it in as the meal sizes are very generous! Glad you're back guys!

We thought we'd stop in here for lunch one day, but very quickly wished we hadn't, was only the simple lunch menu so three of us got a beer each and ordered a small bar snack, bartender repeated order back but still got it wrong, chicken tenders were raw in the middle, my husband ordered buffalo wings but got poppers?!...

I am sorry that you had a negative experience at the Saloon. We were out of the Country and were relying on our staff to take care of our business. We do appreciate that you have taken the time to let us know about these problems and we have already instigated changes to our staffing as part of the solution... More

The War Horse Saloon is out of town on the main road, the place was quiet on the night we were there which was great. Service was fantastic and everyone enjoyed their meals. It's a very interesting place, we actually wandered around for awhile just looking at all of the bizarre things on display!! We met Boots the cat, Boots... More

As Americans living in Port Vila we love the ribs and the burgers. Coming from Texas we feel totally at home. The beer - well just awesome! Boots is always there to greet us and keep us entertained. Well done!

Fancy finding this fascinating place tucked away out of town. Fascinating exhibits and the friendly staff demonstrated some of the features and gave us a tour. Great beer and ribs. We visited twice more during our time in Vanuatu hoping to see Boots the cat ring the bell. Unfortunately on the third occasion when he was on duty he could... More
