We were a group of 9 and we had to push our reservation back even later into the evening. The staff were very welcoming and hospitable despite our tardiness. A couple of us chose the Stuffed Capsicum Dolma with slow cooked lamb shoulder and we both agreed it was delicious and the lamb very tender. We also appreciated the selection of aged port and whiskies to finish the meal with. Wonderful service, seasonal and fresh menu options with a Canterbury focussed wine list. It's so easy to produce a menu which is same same - but this place is unique in it's offerings. I will be back!

Although an old Heathcote identity and establishment this tavern has been tastefully refurbished to provide very welcome and pleasant surroundings. A pleasing choice for out group lunch, made all the more enjoyable by the friendly and helpful staff. We also appreciated having a separate dining area. There was a good selection of traditional meals on the menu plus some lunch specials at a very reasonable price. The meals were also generous. Although tasty the pork roast was a little grisly and the crackling inedible. However, the vegetables were very well cooked. A little more gravy would have been nice. A very good seafood chowder which was thick and creamy, but too much chewy mussels. Overall we all enjoyed the meal and the venue. Happy to return.

Staff forgot about our order of a cold platter and while the price of one drink was taken off the total bill there was no apology or basic politeness when communicating this. When it eventually arrived 45 minutes after ordering wait staff plonked it down on the table without saying a single word. The platter for two at $22 contained four small slices of one cheese, a couple of meats, hummus, store bought pre-cut gherkins and olives, mesculin that was off and four small slices of over salted pita bread. Definitely wasn't worth waiting for.Thanks for your review, appreciated. Let us know if you come through again as we feel we have not lived up to the service we give every other customer. We've also tried contacting you through your Google review as well.

Following a nice, but short, drive from Christchurch we were all pleased with our food which slots into the 'good pub meal' category.The service was however disappointing but, to be fair, I suspect we caught them on a bit of a bad day - Sunday lunchtime; member of staff absent; one waitress unfortunately dropped a couple of plates of food; and so on!!Hi there,Thank you for your contribution to the TA forum. Some days donât go as planned and when you have a busy Sunday service ahead itâs not ideal to have key staff absent due to illness. Anyway, stuff happens and weâre very glad you enjoyed your meals with us.Kind regards and happy travels,Jeremy

Working in town and closeby it's not often you see this place quiet. Morning T can be a mission with long ques so make sure you get there early. Good and consistent coffee - nice range of baked goods and an onsite kitchen for other meals. Good value alongside the rest of the CBD coffee shops.
