Pub in Christchurch

“Great staff, always friendly and welcoming with a great atmosphere and good people.”

“The restaurant itself is not that spectacular to dit in, but luckily the beach is just some meters away. Getting takeaway at eat at the beach is the best choice to make. We only gad to wait 20 minutes for two dishes, which were really tasty! The butter Naan was also good. This restaurant has a wide variety of non-vegetarian and vegetarian dishes which all have a good price.”

“We had a lovely breakfast, Emma service was fantastic she was very accommodating for us and our daughter. Makes a killer coffee and we loved the shrimp roll. Really lovely atmosphere. Would head there again.”

“Just landed in Christchurch and headed straight to the restaurant. The food is authentic with great service! If you are looking for Asian food, especially Taiwanese street food that brings to the table. You are going to love it! Highly recommend if you travel around Christchurch!”

“The waimakariri tavern is a gr8 place to visit for a quiet drink with some friends. on the weekends they also have live music Saturdays and Sundays if it's a lovely day it's awsome to sit outside and toe tap to the music”

“Have been here a couple of times for a drink and most recently a meal. The staff behind the bar are friendly and my meal (chicken salad) was restaurant quality and delicious. Will definitely return.”

“Last of the local pubs. Support them. I remember it from the TV program”

“Great place for food and drinks!! Misceos has an awesome atmosphere and styling. The food is served fast and is always delivered to a high standard. It is best to make a booking for lunch and for larger groups as this is a popular place. There is also a takeaway pizza service. However it can get a little noisy when full”

“We had the high tea which did not disappoint. It was hard to choose a favourite they were all so delicious and there was a good amount of food as well. Lovely waitress looking after us who took the time to explain all of the tasty treats. Highly recommend, I will certainly be back!!”

“We had a small memorial gathering here this week and the food was lovely and well priced. The staff were very accommodating. I would recommend this place and certainly will visit again.”

“Never fail to disappoint, always a treat to go here. Food was amazing and staff was extremely nice and helpful. Would like to go back when I return to Christchurch soon.”

“I shoot regularly at The Bog Irish Bar & it’s always a great experience. Friendly staff, lively Irish vibe, & a bar that knows how to make the night fun. Always easy to get awesome shots.”

“They have specials every day of the week. Love that it is supported by mature customers. The food is tasty, have had pizza on 2 occasions and a liver and bacon dish on one. The gravy is devine for meat lovers. Worth returning. The staff are very friendly and wrlcoming.”

“Our first time dining here and we were very impressed. The food was tasty, with a great range of healthy options for specific food requirements. Service was timely and very friendly. We will definitely be back.”

“Incredible medium cooked sirloin and gratin! Absolutely perfect! Served by Philippe who was very knowledgeable and provided a great wine recommendation to complement my meal. I overheard him talking with another table and he had excellent knowledge to share. The steak was easily the best I’ve ever had!”

“I was here for dinner last night, and I loved it so much I came back for lunch today. Nachos are superb, and the guacamole is outstanding. Great homemade chips. Lovely service and good prices. A winner! And a stunning view of the mountains from my table :)”

“Great atmosphere and vibes. Lovely, genuine staff. Excellent wines on offer. Can't wait to go back in summer and sit outside overlooking the park.”

“Awesome country pub with a good menu”

“We found ourselves with an hour to spare while our car was being serviced and on recommendation, went to the Crate & Barrel for breakfast. We were made very welcome on entering and were seated next to the fire. While our breakfasts were being cooked, we were given a guided tour to look at the extensive memorabilia. Wow!! The sports section was impressive as was the musical instruments as wall art and many other collections. Food was delicious and plentiful, coffee superb and service impeccable. Highly recommend and we will be back soon.”

“Absolutely scrumptious breakfast! We’ve been touring the South Island for almost 2 weeks and this has been one of the most divine breakfasts we have had. Great prices too for the sizes.”

“Great place to have a catchup - cosy atmosphere, friendly helpful staff, good food (full marks to Brent and Steven cooking for us that day - the fish dish was amazing). I've met there with different groups of friends and they've all said they'll be going back. Ada, Shea and Parn made us feel so welcome, they are an asset to the business.”

“Fantastic restaurant — one of the best Indian places around! Tried their chicken tikka masala and sahi paneer , both were bursting with flavour. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend Indian Ocean for anyone who loves authentic, high-quality Indian food.”

“Enjoyed my stay here and great food!!”

“Unfortunately, there wasn't time to take photos, but if you have time, stop by and try their dishes. They are great tasting, portion size, and quality/price ratio. If it's Saturday night, you might have to wait 15/20 minutes, but it's worth it! They also have highchairs and baskets with toys (which was very useful for our little one).”

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Styx & Stone. From start to finish, everything was impeccable. For my main course, I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana — and it was delightful. Perfectly cooked, tender chicken breast, coated in a crisp, golden crumb, smothered in rich, tangy tomato sauce, and topped with beautifully melted cheese. Every bite was pure comfort and flavor. For dessert, I couldn’t resist the affogato — and it did not disappoint. The balance of smooth, creamy vanilla ice cream and bold, aromatic espresso was heavenly. It’s the kind of simple yet luxurious treat that ends a meal on the perfect note. To accompany it all, I had an iced latte which was perfectly balanced: strong, smooth coffee with just the right touch of milk — refreshing and satisfying. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy yet modern. Highly recommend Styx & Stone for anyone looking for an effortlessly enjoyable dining experience. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Hands down the best pub feed I’ve ever had, got the beef cheeks, massive serving and can’t fault a single part of the food, beer or experience. Cheers team will be back”

“What can I say, the best food I've had in ages. Flavours were just amazing. Service and people there are great. Highly recommend going here. We had the Chicken Ragout, Cheesey Garlic Pizza, and Lamb Meatballs. Delicious! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

Lyttelton Coffee Co. delivers a coffee‑and‑cabinet line‑up that’s straight to the point. Morning service moves at a steady clip. Cakes and scoops finish things neatly. The room sits relaxed with an easy buzz.

“Great pub for a meet-up with mates & friendly staff to boot. Stopped in for a "chinwag" & beer last week, happened to be 'happy hour' which was a bonus & helped the words flow. Comfortable warm venue centrally located in Lincoln”
