Reviewed By Kenny P
Sunday night dinner, only eatery that was known to be open in Amberley, just off the main Highway. Two hungry diners out for a meal. Nice family setting, service was great and the food simply awesome. Both ordered the Blue Cod (one crumb and one batter) and this meal really impressed. The fish was fresh ... the portion size of fish was outstanding (generous) awesome fries and a top salad. It may have been fish chips and greens but it was big in size, clean in taste and generous to a T ...totally exceeded any expectation for pub grub .....worth the 500k/m trip alone ... certainly would return .....Hi KennyThankyou for taking the time to review the railway tavern we are so pleased that you enjoyed our meals and hospitality go the mighty southland stags Cheers Marc

Driving down from Blenheim to Ashburton the NorâWester caught our eye as a decent place to stop and revive from a long journey. Initially unsure if it was open from the outside, we soon discovered it was. Nice stop for cake, coffee and cheese rolls.
7. Fiddler's Green Vineyard & Bistro

Firstly, the setting. Stunning, even on a miserable wet night this place was lovely. The outlook, the medertiranian feel of the building and decor was great. The staff are welcoming, personal and knowledgeable. The food...oh the food. We started with the poached pear dish and scallops with pork belly. Yum yum yum! Melt in your mouth delicious. Mains, pasta and seafood chowder. The pasta was light..so light and the flavour was full. The seafood chowder was everything you could imagine and more. Dessert...chocolate fondant and creme brulee. Both were outstanding. The Fiddlers Green wines we had were spectacular as well. Pinot and gwerzt were perfect for us with our dishes. Now, maybe it sounds like i am over stating it but driving home we wanted to go back and try everything on the menu...it was truely that good. Can not wait to go back for more.

On State Highway 1, set amongst the vines is the iconic stone building that's home to Waipara Hills. Here you'll discover an operating winery, cellar door and seasonal cafe. Just 45 minutes drive from Christchurch.

Stopped at the winery for a quick lunch and chose the tasting platter with chorizo, smoked salmon, crumbed prawns, pickles, chutney, relish, walnuts and cheese etc.; with some wine of course. Service was prompt and the food was nicely proportioned and well presented. A great range of flavours and taste combinations,The Soul Pinot Gris was an excellent accompaniment.

This is a very pretty cafe with beautiful flowers outside together with fossils & a range of quirky memorabilia within. I don't recall previously seeing so many baking tins on display. The staff were friendly & we enjoyed very good coffee & snacks sitting in comfortable chairs whilst reading the local paper. We didn't notice many other places to take a coffee break on the road so were very pleased that we stopped here.

Unfortunately we visited this winery when restaurant was closed, however I can assure you the menu looked amazing with lots of local produce. The winery and surrounds were stunning. The wine itself was well priced and complex. Special thanks to the staff who gave âgenerousâ tastings so we could wander the grounds with a beautiful red wine.
