Event catering in Christchurch

“Who would think an airport hotel would provide one of the finest dining experiences we had in 2 weeks of travelling Southland? Attentive personal service from a gorgeous host. Perfect lamb dukkha and fish. Finished off with dessert. Leaving NZ very satisfied thank you Chef and hostess. If you don’t stay here - drop by for dinner.”

“We had roast duck noodle soup for take away. The chef had all ingredients ready waiting for my arrival. He started putting everything into take away box as soon as he knew I was there to pick up. This was to preserve the crisp of the duck skin and limit the noodles drying up the soup. Staff was extra careful in packing to prevent soup leaking. The interior design of this restaurant is simple yet traditional Chinese. The duck noodle soup was tasty and authentic, I'm sure it would be even better if we dined in. Still very good after coming back many times.”

“Great pub to have a catch up and have a cold beer”

“Valentines Hornby is our favourite place to eat! We go at least once a month and cannot fault it. The food is fantastic - a great variety, very fresh, always beautifully cooked, and nicely presented. They often experiment with new dishes but you can rely on the favourites to always be there. The food is always hot and constantly replenished, and there is a great salad bar too. The dessert is amazing! Such a variety, including a chocolate fountain and ice cream machine. I love all the small portion mousses, meringues, cheesecake, hot dishes and the sides, like berries, cream and sauces. The lemon roulade is so good! The staff are very friendly and helpful and the service is great too. We cannot praise this place enough - do yourself a favour and check it out! Great value for money too.”

Greenhaven Fish & Chip Shop leans into a classic fish‑and‑chips approach with tidy execution. Serve sizes show solid value. Fish lands crisp with light batter and chips stay tidy. The team keeps things friendly and organised.

“The jalapeño scone was fantastic! Coffee is consistently great too.”

“Mango chicken is great. At extra hot wasn't as hot as I expected, but hot enough and very nice. Butter naan and garlic naan are both amazing - good and crispy =)”

“Restaurant was tidy and clean, service was great - staff very friendly. The chef was great!! My food came out very fast and it was so yum!! I was given a complimentary drink with my meal as well. 10/10 experience at Two Fat Indians, Papanui.”

“The best yum cha in Christchurch. We ordered so many dishes and it was all good. Definitely have the charcoal buns and red cheong fun wrapped around fried fritters with prawn in the middle. Absolutely divine. Service is great too.”

“I ordered the buttered lamb gnocchi which I would definitely recommend - food was served within 10 minutes piping hot - the portion size was decent - the food tasted great - plenty of lamb which was so tender and plenty of sauce which had a kick to it”

“This is located in a food court and shared spaces with another restaurant Eight grains dumplings and Bao. We ordered the vegan bento box with soy marinated eggs, vegan ramen and gyozas. The portions are sumptuous and the food is really tasty. All the sides in the bento box were delicious especially the miso ramen. The vegan ramen was delicious too. Overall the ambience is really good combined with very fast service”

“Quality and service has improved greatly over the past month. Thank you Nabin for a great looking and tasting pizza.”

“Nice and tidy place for having dinner. Excellent service, very friendly staff. Pizza was cooked to perfection and arrived in less than 10 minutes after ordering. Keep up the good work!”

“Had the Original Vegetarian pizza - so yummy and delicious. Crispy base with delicious fresh tasty tomatoes, mushrooms, onions and capsicum. The Spags Chips were moreish. Crispy, crunchy with enough potatoe-niss to satisfy your hot chips cravings. And a nice cold cider. They had a good beer and wine selection on offer too. Service was prompt and polite.”

“Nice coffee, tasty fresh pies. Convenient 5 min park just out front. Friendly service and cute little shop☺️”

“I have to say BROOKE is the BEST MACCAS EMPLOYEE in the world!!! She was very friendly and provided great service. She solved my problem quickly despite being very busy. She came like an angel when people were in trouble. I have never spoken so highly of any service person. Brooke must be a role model for all service professionals. If I were Christopher John Kempczinski, I would give this girl a promotion.”

“My favourite sushi place in the country. They live up to their name, truly oishiiiiii.”

“Located inside the Court Theatre building it’s perfect spot to grab a quick bite and drink before play. Food choices are limited but wood fire pizza is as good as it gets (limited choice available) and you can get fries, that’s it. Bar is well equipped with many choices of wine by Geisen , drinks and beer, something for everyone to get you in the mood. If you want to grab something to eat make sure to arrive at least 1-1.5 hour before the play starts, as parking and seating spots inside are quite limited and wait time for pizza is even longer.”

“Vegetarian options! Had a delicious lunch here. Two of us ordered Jasmine Tea, Twice Cooked Tofu, Stir Fried Potato & Capsicum, and a medium bowl of rice. We finished everything and felt good full, not too full. Their tofu is locally sourced! It was fried, puffy, soft, and soaked up sauce excellently. They have soy sauce, white pepper, and chilli oil available, too. The large menu offers Cambodian,Thai, Chinese, and some other cuisines. Lots of dishes non-Chinese people will know, and some you won’t! We ordered dishes from the Chinese menu and I’d recommend both. A Note on Meat — if you’re vegetarian or vegan make sure to ask for no meat, egg, and/or dairy. Not all dish names mention meat but lots of Chinese dishes often include meat even tofu dishes. The restaurant’s interior is the Shabby Chic I adore of Chinese Restaurants in New Zealand — lanterns, large tables with lazy susan’s, photos of menu items on the wall etc. Perfect!”

“One of the best pizza I've ever tasted before. 10/10 would eat entire pizza alone and not feel shame. The fresh ingredients, the flavor combinations, the artistry.. Definitely the kind of pizza I would take home at the end of the night. Food perfect as always, very tasty, good toppings, lovely bases.”
