The owner is incredibly friendly and created the menu himself. I was looking for a space to do some work in the late afternoon and grab an early dinner. The vegan burger was really tasty! The chips and aioli absolutely delicious as well! I sat in the covered outdoor area, some chilled instrumental music in the background created a relaxed and fun environment to get some work done, with groups coming an and out enjoying their time together.
Nice venue, drinks are cold, food is nice, staff are super friendly. But they need some stage lighting, that would make a big difference if they want to play professionall gigs. Spotlight will be more than enough. 😘
Good car parking available. Nice friendly vibe when arriving. Good selection of beers wines and food. Clean and inside outside flow with smoking area available outside. Able to bring the dog to the out side area to sit. Food took a while, in gastro pub fashion. Large portions and well prepared. Toilets clean and easy to find.
awesome service and some of the best food you’ll find in chch. their menu isn’t huge but everything they do, they do really well!
Don't miss out on this one! Awesome food in generous quantities, beautiful laid-back venue & convivial host. Just had a Ferrymead Lions Club social there. Best ever. Great price too.
Fantastic food, corned beef and calamari are the best in CHC! Love it!
Awesome wee bar in Sumner! We went for the great live music (The Restless - absolutely amazing duo) and got a few rounds. They were doing a great pizza deal too - two for $25.
Loved it lovely way to relax on a Sunday afternoon. Had some very nice fries & a couple of drinks. Lovely venue will recommend.
First time there and will return. And they have Guinness on tap.
Great day with Panhead cars and great food thanks
Great service the ginger haired girl deserves a raise. Also heaps of food for good price and bloody good tasting too
Being a chef myself I'm very picky when it comes to dinning out...I had the Crispy chicken & eggs Benedict & my partner the cajun wedges...I'm so glad to say it was beyond our expectations as the food presentation was beautiful, the taste was to die for and the portion size was that big we had to take the rest home & the atmosphere was brilliant! The staff wer very friendly and we will definitely be back! Would "HIGHLY RECOMMEND" this place.
Thank-you for the great hospitality :).
The food was lovely, and pretty cool ambience. The staff were friendly, even though they were super busy! 🙂 Tried the. Fried chicken on waffles, and it was delicious!!
I you want to meet some local - visit it. Decent bar with outside sitting area, not wide but adequate range of beers and wines. But never order Guinness - you might be quiet surprised how different it tastes from original one, you can get in Europe. Will visit one day again and will give them one more chance :)
We were hoping to get the huge breakfast which our adult kids were raving about only to be told it was not available during the week. We then ordered individual breakfasts. There appeared to be only one chef in the kitchen so the wait for our meals was very long. Because we were with a 2 year old toddler the long wait was frustrating as she was restless and so her parents took it in turns to take her for a walk. When the food eventually came it was really great quality. The eggs and the fried chicken bits were out of this world.
The absolute bomb-diggetty! Amazing food! Amazing service! Amazing atmosphere! Highly Highly recommended the Village Inn Sumner.
Amazing food and friendly service. Epic mine and cheese pie was epic, and the crumbed chicken burger is world class.
