Play Pokies at Valley Inn Tavern in Christchurch

Our group has been before and enjoy it that is why we return. We did make a booking and were told that there was a large group booking for the time that we were booking so we followed the suggestion given and booked to arrive 15mins before. That meant that our order was taken and delivered before the large group were wanting theirs. The food is always delicious and a good portion size. We will go again.

Requested Valley Inn Tavern for informal family gathering.
Absolutely first class communication from Tavern staff throughout. We opted for a counter lunch, which offered an excellent menu with prompt and courteous service. The venue is warm, inviting, casual and full of local valley history.
Thoroughly recommend the Valley Inn Tavern to all who seek a comfortable and friendly environment where service is exceptional.

Firstly, the old well in the middle of the restaurant was pretty interesting. Secondly, tried the nachos and they were a delight! Got them plain with the awesome cheese sauce (its a yummy, runny cheese sauce, none of that grated and melted usual bits of cheese on regular nachos) and topped them up with bits of bacon! Minus one star cos they got our order wrong the first time.

Lovely that they open the doors on ANZAC day early so that we can have breakfast after the dawn service. Great atmosphere

We had the seafood platter, . Compared to other seafood platters we've had in the past, this one was very disappointing. The shrimps were out of a picket as were the fish bites. They have also cut back on the amount of food, but price remains high. Other food on the platter was tasty.
