“If you're in Rolleston and craving some delicious pizza, you absolutely have to try Pizza Hut. Their consistency is what really sets them apart—you know you're going to get a great pizza every time. ​The food is always tasty, with a good balance of toppings and a perfectly cooked crust. The staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming, whether you're just picking up your order. It's a great spot for a satisfying and easy meal, and definitely a go-to for anyone living in the area."”

“Best place in New Zealand for Australians to eat and drink. Great friendly staff, owners are friendly and very helpful. $25 parmi or ribs with a beer, wine, spirit or soft drink! We ate here every night and even went for the $12 bacon and eggs with free coffee one morning. Could not recommend enough! Large servings and unbelievable quality!!”

“We had the most amazing time here and didn’t want to leave! Perfect location just a bus ride into the city which leaves from outside. The room was perfect exactly what we needed and the bed was so comfortable. The food in the restaurant/bar was amazing and extra points for the good Guiness which my partner said was the best one he’s had in New Zealand!! Top class service and hospitality, shoutout to the manager who really engaged with us throughout our trip and who was always up for a chat, he took care of everything we needed throughout our trip and made us feel so welcome. Would definitely recommend staying here to everyone traveling to Christchurch and would love to return again.”

“Huge range of food and was tasty considering a buffet. They made fresh garlic naan bread and served to our table. I personally enjoyed the starters like tandoori chicken, lollipops, veg manchurian, paani puri and samosa chat was my favorite. And great variety of desert to end the feast. We will be back again. Thanks”

“Amazing food and excellent service! We ordered naan, rice, and two types of curry — everything was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The naan was soft and fresh, and the curries were rich and aromatic. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely come back again!”

“Fantastic food and highly respectful wait staff. I loved the Bombay chicken... It was absolutely out of this world. The best part is that you can get Uber eats from this establishment! For the best curry in Christchurch I would say that Corianders is the place to go. They have a superb range of gluten free options.”

Their iced chocolate is also a stand-out with plenty of toppings. The place is spacious and super clean. And the staff are always so friendly. Couldn't ask for more, five stars!”

“Valentines Hornby is our favourite place to eat! We go at least once a month and cannot fault it. The food is fantastic - a great variety, very fresh, always beautifully cooked, and nicely presented. They often experiment with new dishes but you can rely on the favourites to always be there. The food is always hot and constantly replenished, and there is a great salad bar too. The dessert is amazing! Such a variety, including a chocolate fountain and ice cream machine. I love all the small portion mousses, meringues, cheesecake, hot dishes and the sides, like berries, cream and sauces. The lemon roulade is so good! The staff are very friendly and helpful and the service is great too. We cannot praise this place enough - do yourself a favour and check it out! Great value for money too.”

“Definitely hits the spot. Have ordered a couple of times now through Uber eats and really enjoyed the food both times. Great, customisable rice bowls with hearty portions and delicious ingredients. Would recommend”
