Food was surprisingly good. We had the burger, wedges, fish and chips and peppered squid. The squid had too much salt but everything else was good. Ambiance was what you would expect from a pub and service was good. Definitely a favourite local.
I was there in December 2012, having wandered up the road from our tour booked hotel. Bright, modern, bar with a friendly
bunch of guys having their golf outing banquet. Excellent beer, but $7 for a pint in a neighborhood pub was a shock to this
Yank. Found this was the going price in Australia and NZ. Taxes.

Over the past year of coming here on Mondays for quiz night the quality of food has risen each time!I highly recomend the delicious pizzas!Wednesday they do a $10 all you can eat pizza night which i havent tried yet but if they are the same pizzas throughout the week i highly recomend trying this place out!
We have just had an amazing time with friends having lunch and listening to Irish music. Although we didn't get to meet the owner we watched him as he welcomed so many regulars and guests. He was the perfect host. We will be back as this was our regular late 90's early 20's. Thankyou.
Clean. Nice aosphere. Helpful staff. The Shameless Two were entertaining. Enough room for dancing. We only had drinks. Bar food was available. This venue is wheelchair accessible.
We had our work do here as we're only next door. We were treated very well, the pizzas were yum plus we were permitted to take in our own sweet things like cake etc
Great place to grab a feed and beer. Steak special they had on for $14.50 was fantastic, steak was very tender and cooked to perfection (not overdone). Good serving sizes. Staff were efficient and friendly. Will certainly visit again next time in Christchurch.
Wonderful birthday bus trip and the music and bar service was exemplary.
Thanks so much for the incredible band that played live music from the 60s and 70s
True musicians ...the lead guitarist..amazing AZ was the drummer and base...
Absolutely fantastic. This is a proper English pub. The food was great the service was excellent and it was very clean and tidy. Pubs like the rat are a dying thing. Keep up the good work. 👍
Was here with a large group for a celebration, great service great atmosphere only complaint was the pricing of food compared to portion sizes.
Great friendly local pub a must try if your in the area
Loved it. Everything we expected from a local pub. The team made the experience perfect. The food was fantastic, from the sticky ribs to the roast which tasted like granny made it. (some of the best garlic bread too, I might add!) thanks so much for accommodating us and making a takeaway sundae for the little fella 😂😊 you guys rock!
They are very nice and friendly. We had the white bait special and fish & chips. Order at the bar and then take a seat. To reorder just go back to the bar. Definitely an after work hangout place. Bartenders were great.
Went to the Rose and Thistle for a wintery Saturday lunch.
It was cosy and warm inside and we enjoyed our meal.
Price was reasonable, service was good. It’s definitely a pub that serves meals, but it was enjoyable.
Nice food with good staff and looked family friendly..

Great pub for a Saturday night, awesome live band setup, heaps of room for a dance, friendly staff too. Highly recommend getting along if Titanic Rock Covers band are playing, they are awesome musicians with a rockin set
Very friendly. Live events. A good locals place.
Had mushroom steak and it was yummy so moist and tender.
Great food service and atmosphere
Great staff so friendly and helpful. Great menu too
Great atmosphere.
We came in from the street when we saw the live band playing.
It's definitely worth a visit.
