Food scene

Generous servings of simple food on a deck that overlooks the lagoon; the bar serves beer, wine etc. You queue to order from the menu and pay; then you are given a stand with your table number and the staff bring your order to the table. Seating is on long BBQ tables, so if it's busy you may need to sit with strangers. Go early e.g. 5.30pm as Charlie's is very popular. Live music most nights. Closed on Sundays, and sometimes for private function.

This is a caravan with outdoor seating and nice sea views, halfway between the airport and Avatiu port in Rarotonga, on the northern site of the island. The fish & chip servings are generous and they have a selection of cold fish dishes like sashimi and sushi from the chiller display. You can wait in your vehicle after you place your order, or sit at one of the BBQ tables.
