Food Menu
At The Portage Bar, we keep things simple, social, and seriously tasty. Our menu is designed for easy-going get-togethers - think generous sharing platters, classic pub favourites, and smaller plates perfect for grazing.
Whether you're after a quick bite, something to share over drinks, or a casual meal with friends, The Portage delivers crowd-pleasing comfort with quality ingredients and a dash of creativity. Expect familiar favourites done well - burgers, pizzas, beer battered fries, and seasonal snacks that hit the spot.
In true Riverhead style, it’s all about good food, good company, and a relaxed, welcoming vibe.
