Pub in Christchurch

“Went on Sunday for my wife's birthday, not too busy at 6pm, friendly staff, price was a bit high (but not too bad) and the food was delicious. I had the three sausage meal which was good, my wife had the pork belly which was beautifully tender (the crackling was very salty but when drunk with the suggested cider was just right).”

“Delicious meal! Fresh bartered blue cod and amazingly well cooked chippies, all the food our table had was delicious and they served a table of 6 all at the same time. Our server was great, personable and accommodating and the bar staff was great too. Great price for what you're getting, $30 for two big filets of blue cod and a great side of chips (skipped the salad)”

“Did a bunch of events at The Foundry in late 2024 alongside DJs, always a solid student bar with a packed crowd, great energy, & easy to work in.”

“Great local pub feel. Not a family place, just a beer with mates type place. Locals were happy to chat. Staff were very friendly.”

The kitchen at The Penguin Arms takes a burger‑led path and lets the food speak. Outdoors works well when the weather plays along. Eggs land on point and toast keeps its crunch. Combinations read bold but stay balanced.

The Brasserie Kitchen & Wine Bar runs with a classic fish‑and‑chips menu and a relaxed pace. Eggs land on point and toast keeps its crunch. Fish lands crisp with light batter and chips stay tidy. Service stays present without fuss.

The kitchen at Monza Sports Bar takes a simple, bistro‑style path and lets the food speak. A sensible spend for the spread. Service stays present without fuss. Plates offer plenty without weighing things down.

This place would have to be the best in my book so go try it for yourself!!!!!!”

“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!”

“Called in for a quick beer. New people running the place with a new menu to boot. I didn't have a meal but everyone I talked to were very impressed with the food and service.”

“Such super friendly and no nonsense staff! Kaamil was amazing with incredible customer service!! He was even willing to give me a discount on the bed to help it fit into my price range - really cool guy”

“Had a great NZ cup day here with friends and associates and the guy behind the bar went out of his way to get what we required even though they were out of stock, above and beyond for us mere visitors. Bar food was more than satisfactory, as was the overall service. We'll be back.”
