Play Pokies at The Avonhead Tavern and One Good Horse Restaurant in Christchurch

We were a large group. I called a few days earlier and was told because they already had 2 large groups they couldn't accommodate us. They suggested the bar area. We arrived, had a corner of reserved tables and can't rave enough about our experience. We would do this again in preference to eating in the restaurant. Well done Avonhead Tavern, you went above and beyond. Highly recommend

Food cold!
We were confronted by "manager" to stress that our waitress was new...felt like we were being told off for complaining about our cold meals. One guest requested it be taken back and heated, problem was by the time she got to eat we were finished our meals.
Very disappointing and an unpleasant experience.
Surprised that staff don't have name badges etc, especially the manager on shift perhaps this is something that needs considering especially if patrons are chastised for not seeking 'the Manager"
Won't be back for both cold food and very poor service!

Great experience until our meals came out. No service check in throughout the meal. Asked for medium steak and got blue steak. Large tables around us made it hard to enjoy dining experience.

Wonderful friendly and timely service and fabulous food. Terrific pricing for such delicious food. Great menu caters for all dietary requirements. Nice atmosphere.

The staff were lovely but the food was disgusting. I didn't say anything to them as my daughter is a waitress in town, so I didn't want to make them feel bad. I had the ribeye steak () which was raw. I asked for medium and got very rare and gristly. The salad was limp and saturated, the baked potato was very average, it just had sour cream and bacon pieces on it. The only decent thing was the Steinlager (). I wish I hadn't come. Clearly the cooks don't try their own food.
