New to dining in New Zealand? Here are some pointers to ensure you have an enjoyable dining experience.  | Tipping, although welcome, is not expected. |  | BYO (bring your own) is very common in restaurants and means you can bring in your own beer or wine (the policy varies). You usually have to pay a corkage fee. (The drinking age in New Zealand is 18) |  | Reservations are recommended, especially in the summer time, during public holidays and school holidays. |  | Many cafes, bars and restaurants apply a surcharge for the services they provide on public holidays to recover the additional labour costs incurred for trading on the day. |
