“What an experience. Out for a family dinner to celebrate our anniversary and it honestly couldn't have been better. Brilliant friendly staff, so helpful and onto it. Awesome atmosphere for the kids and us adults. Then the food, top notch and out in great time. You'll definitely be our first choice on family nights out. Thanks so much.”

“Had a great meal here. Efficient, friendly staff. Generous portions. I had enough to ask for a take away container.”

“Awesome country pub with a good menu”

“This place is a must try! Awesome staff, amazing, tasty and well presented food. The coffee is on point every time and hands down the best Salmon Eggs Benedict I have ever tasted! This place truly is 'well worth finding' !! :)”

“Love this pizza shop since it has opened good selection, tidy, definitely recommend”

“Wonderful selection of authentic regional dishes, clean display and layout, easy to read menu and signage, friendly service from lovely staff.”

“Absolutely love this place. We have had it +5 times and it never fails! The Pad Thai is so delicious and full of flavour, also has decent veges! The green curry is devine! We love the vegetarian wontons too. There is always a lovely man on the phone when you confirm your online order. Portion sizes are excellent too.”

“Really enjoyed the takeaway from here! The food was tasty and packed well, and they even gave me a free Sprite which was such a nice touch. Great service, will definitely order again”

“Avonhead takeaways has the best Taiwanese crispy chicken in town. We also tried their Korean fried chicken and octopus balls. Very yummy Asian street food with good value for money.”

“I had high tea. The tea itself was fantastic. The pastries and sandwiches were excellent. The staff was very attentive, maybe even over so in the beginning. And then it was hard to find someone when it was time to pay the bill. My one suggestion is that there's no way to take your tea bag out of the pot. Nothing to take it out with and no place to put it. And I don't always like my tea really strong, depending on what type of tea I get. They would also elevate the experience if they had some type of table cover.”

“Found this little gem around corner from my motel. Staff were great, friendly and polite. Plenty of space and meals etc brought to your table. Food prepared fresh and coffee was very good too. Plus I got sandwiches to take out ,well filled too. Will be back next trip to Christchurch. Highly Recommended.”

“Hannah was exceptional, she was super friendly and helpful! Kids loved her, we will definitely be back :)”

“Ordered Chilli Chicken and Peri Peri Chicken and love the taste of Pizza. Have few chairs to sit inside for Dine-in.”

“Grabbed the 2 slices & a soda for $14 on Saturday just to switch up what I usually get at Riverside. I was prepared to be unimpressed, but had the opposite experience. The 2 slices of pepperoni I ordered were comically huge and utterly delicious: spicy, cheesy, rich -- not sweet sauce -- flavoured with herbs and spices. Very good value, imo.”
