Loved our meal. In particular, I am a small eater and ordered a kids portion. No quizzing or refusal, totally accepted unlike other establishments that say you can only have a child's portion if you are under a certain age. My husband had normal chicken burger and fries. This was a very good size. It was a very tasty meal and glad we discovered this little gem. Especially great if you are a music lover of a certain age as the place took me back to my younger years. A great vibe!
If you are looking for a restaurant that hides itself in a pub... This isn't it. This is, in the best way, a good old traditional oub with great food. So whats the difference? By the time we arrived the pub had been busy all day - so the floor is a little sticky, the bar is a little messy, the staff are running around. But that's part of the atmosphere. The outdoor area is completely covered and has its own bar, allowing smokers and drinkers to enjoy their time without huge food queues awaiting them. The dining area is cozy and quiet, and a little off to the side, nice if you want some time alone. And then there is the bar area, with a stage for live bands and plenty of room to dance! That's a little more lived in. But that's part of the charm. This is a seaside pub with great portions of food, where you come to be loud and enjoy cover band music and have a few beers with many friendly strangers. It would come close to being a dive bar, if the food wasn't as good and it wasn't so family friendly during the day. A great little find in the area for those who don't mind a few rough edges around this little gem of find.
Wow what a lovely Roast Dinner! Hands down one of the best in Christchurch. Went for the beef which was cooked perfectly. The mix of veg on the plate was well thought of. All cooked well and tasted lovely. Couldn’t fault it. Look forward to returning.
Amazing, we have been here several times, and today the food was divine. we ordered the same dish as the costumo (we thought was the same) but in the end they changed the dish which is now even better, Before everything was fried, now is grilled what is better. we really enjoyed it and will come back again. the atmosphere and music very nice. Plus is dog friendly what is a good point as well 👌🏻
It's been a long time since I have had Fish n Chips. Dave and his staff are absolutely the best. Great food, fine selection of beer and spirits, and an excellent example of an English pub. Will be back for more. Cheers!
