First Mates Last Laugh

Delivering much-needed fresh vibes and mouthwatering flavours within the picturesque Westhaven Marina, First Mates Last Laugh is the brainchild of expert restaurateur Judith Tabron. This lively, fun destination boasts a gorgeous interior plus plenty of comfortable outdoor seating overlooking the water. The menu and wine list caters to young and old; fish and chips are popular and the menu promises both classics and a nod to South American and Japanese influences. With Judith – awarded New Zealand’s Supreme Woman in Food and Drink in 2025 – at the helm, you can be sure that not only will there be excellent food and drinks but a ton of fun, too. With a Japanese Peruvian-inspired chef at the helm, the extensive menu has instant hits including sashimi, taquitos and Judith’s classic fresh fish choices. This restaurant and bar effortlessly combines laid-back and casual with a passion for exceptional food and great company. The first year of First Mates Last Laugh has proven that its delicious possibilities are endless and we can't wait to see where it takes us.
