“this outlet is handy, the staff are always friendly and helpful, I have a ride on scooter and the Indian staff Caran always puts the box of Ranfurly in my scooter backpack for me, recommended.”

“I would like to praise staff member "Whetu". I have been in there several times and Whetu has been so very helpful on a number of occasions. I have had the worst treatment by the liquor store on Lincoln Rd and was hesitant to go into another bottle store. I felt that way until I was blessed with the amazing service Whetu gives. This isn't a once of behavior for her as I have gone in there over a few years and her respect, kindness and help has never changed. It's hard to find such a great and consistent worker. I have been treated with respect by all the staff there and hope their boss realizes what an amazing job they do. Considering there must be customers that require a little more patience and tolerance, yet they remain professional. Thank you Whetu and the staff of Liquorland Hornby. Great prices, service and satisfaction. Very appreciated. She deserves the name Whetu because it literally means "Star".”

“Great staff, clean and good selection, perfect location for locals or driving past”

“I really enjoy the Hoyts Lux experience. Its obvious the higher end of expense but we use as a treat every now and then. What i particularly enjoy is the personalised attention from when you are greeted at the door right through to ordering food and drinks. Its nice to feel special once in a while sitting in a recliner, drinking a cold alcoholic beverage and waiting for the sliders to arrive. Its definitely the highlight of my week.”

“My wife and I visited the store on 2 June. We were visiting from Kapiti (Wellington) and I was looking for a new suit for work. We received a warm welcome and exemplary service and advice from Kaye. Thank you Kaye your time and input it was very much appreciated. We'll certainly be shopping with you again and will recommend you to Chch based friends and family. Kind regards, Brent”

Thanking Sheffield Pies for their response: Just to clarify, our items were 'rounded' up so my apologies for not specifying the correct price per item. Thank you for doing so.
