“Went to the Cust Country Pub for dinner last night with some friends. Had a lovely time. The staff were all very welcoming, friendly and efficient. Nothing was a bother for them. The food was great, from the entrees to the desserts. I had the fish and chips which was served with yummy chips and a lovely green salad and was unfortunately more than I could eat ( and believe me I tried). I would recommend this pub to anyone who wants a reasonably priced good meal in a comfortable friendly atmosphere. Well done to the staff and management.”

“Great cafe with good service and atmosphere at the University of Canterbury.”

“This is my go to Cafe and is just around the corner from work. Great place to have a hot drink and grab a bite to eat, and I love the different options they offer. The setup is great and I use it to catchup with my clients over a drink. The service is amazing and Angeline is always lovely and welcoming.”

“This is an excellent Ilam Kosco The new fridges are amazing which means more new food and drink products. The food and drinks including the latest ones taste very good for any time and day. Even though parking is a bit annoying the products Ilam Kosco offers are very worth it in the end. Everyone should come and experience Ilam Kosco :).”

“Great friendly local, brand new gaming room, toilets were so clean, will be back”

“One of the best Steak and Cheese Pies I've ever had. Visit this place frequently”

“Played my first round of golf in New Zealand here. The course was in good shape. I birdied the first hole and knew then and there that the course was gonna win that day. I know better than to birdie #1. All in all, I'd recommend it to anyone. I know I'll be back the next time I come here.”

“Came here for a birthday experience and it more than excelled, had a blast. Would highly recommend this place to all my friends!!!!!”

“The food was delicious. I had hare and my wife had fillet steak. The service was great. Ryan and the other waiter were very helpful, attentive and polite - great service! This is our second time at this restaurant and we will be back again and have already recommended to friends.”

“The best chicken burger you will ever have.”

“THIS bar is has come along way and is now bit of a hidden gem in Hornby. The rustic look of the bar and its layout is great. Also the prices are very, very welcoming. Makes you want to stay longer. Has a pool table too and plenty of space. Their seafood basket is too die for too. You won't be sorry visiting here!”

“An absolutely brilliant experience, so laid back. It was Easter Saturday when I went. Very quiet. A lot of love has gone into the place particularly outside. Has potential to make it more of a cafe atmosphere inside, too, with cafe at the front and pub at the back. It's a good fitting name to reflect that in the past a lot of wheat was grown in the area. This area is going to really boom and become a desirable place to live and raise children.”

“Thanks to the Friendly happy staff who kindly organized our takeaway dinner the meal was soo good ! we now have a roast club going for a thursday haha !! Best $15 roast around , was delicious thank you !! See you next week !”

“Cool, casual, comfortable atmosphere w/welcoming, warm service and all around wonderful, what a gem! Cascade very much has a Las Vegas speakeasy feel, as in you need to know in order to get it. What a pleasure! Food portions are generous. Drinks are creative and well done. The ambiance is lovely. Service is second to none. Cascade is an excellent place to be!”

“Delicious curries, large sizes, good protein portions, we found the spice level on the higher end of the scale”

“An unreserved 5 out of 5 when taking into account quality and value. Naan breads are huge, Tandoor Chicken was fantastic, and the several curries I've tried were delicious. Underrated hidden gem. 2023 edit: still fantastic even though prices marginally up. Can’t go past the ‘Old Fashioned Lamb Curry’….seriously, it’s really good; even if the vege constituents vary and the name doesn’t tally with swanky fare. The naan’s are still the biggest and most legit you’ll find from any Indian takeaway. Would love to see what tandoor they’re rocking back there! Do yourself a favour and visit these guys. 2024 edit: yup, still the best. Little more spensey, but that reflects the general situation everywhere. Two old fashioneds with rice, some bhajis, a tandoor chicken, a couple of naans……you’ll eat like a maharaja for going on four days or more. Best naans ever. 2025 edit: Absolutely hands down the best. The old-fashioned lamb curry cannot be beat, and must be the signature dish in my opinion. Roiling away for days on end, random bits and pieces added as some sort of eternal curry; vegetable components changing but flavour evolving. Naans giant. Tandoor chicken epic. Eat for days. Ignore the 1-star review casuals.”

“Good experience and quality yummy fresh food. Nelly, the waitress, provided wonderful service and recommended dishes that exceeded our expectations! Everything is beautiful and will definitely go back again with friends.”

“Humble interior nothing fancy. The food is amazing- hot, fresh & very tasty. Huge servings! Friendly welcome and really reasonable prices too. Will definitely be keen to try some other dishes here.”

“Really good bar nibbles and customer service...lots of smiles and laughter”

“After check in at the Quality Hotel Elms, we wandered downstairs and asked the front desk about nearby pubs with patios. The ‘concierge’? said, “we have a patio”. I said “I need craft beer that is not Heineken or Budweiser”. The concierge smiled and said “we have that”. I said “show me this goodness”. We sat outside on the Fig Restaurant and Bar patio for a few hours and ran the Monteith's brewery tap list. We were lucky in that this seemed to be the only pub/bar in the area that actually had a patio and we made the most of it. Beer was great. Service was great. I think they also ran the restaurant in the hotel but am not 100% sure so wont comment on the food.”

“Best Biryani had so far. Highly recommend.”

“Cool, casual, comfortable atmosphere w/welcoming, warm service and all around wonderful, what a gem! Cascade very much has a Las Vegas speakeasy feel, as in you need to know in order to get it. What a pleasure! Food portions are generous. Drinks are creative and well done. The ambiance is lovely. Service is second to none. Cascade is an excellent place to be!”
