Rotherham Hotel

18/10/2026

A wonderful article presented by RNZ, featuring Keith Fenwick and the Rotherham Hotel, including other rural pubs takes a look at life, what it takes to survive and thrive in the rural communities around New Zealand.

What does it take to run a pub in New Zealand's rural towns? Above all else, you need the warmth of a country publican.

Yes the microphones are small but as long as you keep them about 20 cm from ya gob they are pretty good.

Do you know what this wee machine is? 😉😎
It’s brand new, makes noise but you guys have to make it sing. I think I have down loaded the right app, but I’m sure you will give me a hand to sort one that works for you.
It will be at the Hotel starting Friday. Come down n see what you think of it 🎤
