Reviews of Tavern Harewood
S.
I had the chicken burger and my wife had the steak sandwich and we shared the wontons. Absolutely delicious food. My only complaint is that the chicken only covered half the burger. HOWEVER such tender meat perfectly cooked, great tasting sauces.... We will definitely be back!
v.
We ordered their famous Schnitzel dish on Wednesday evening, Salmon fillet & Lasagna - all dishes were fresh, very tasty and very fair prices. It's the best Salmon Fillet dish ! The place is always so busy (mainly 6pm - 7:30pm) but worth the wait.
M.
We visited on Saturday evening with our grandparents at 6:30pm. The ice cream spiders were amazing, the service was brilliant. Attentive staff throughout the whole dining process. The meals were hot, tasty and a great size. Many thanks for a wonderful evening, we will be back soon.
S.
We go to the tavern for an afterwork drink most weeks because it's a great bar and atmosphere. But decided to have lunch in the weekend and it was such a great choice! The prices are really affordable with just $15 lunches and the food that came out was just delicious and really well presented. Best lunch out I've had in so long!! Will be back for sure 👌👌
R.
Food and drink were great!! Only reason it has a 4 star is that the staff were not enforcing the use of face masks at all and it made me uncomfortable having so many people walk right past my table (on the way to the smokers area) without a face mask on. From my understanding it is a requirement for all staff and customers to wear them at the moment unless they are eating or drinking so maybe this should be enforced.
J.
We went out for lunch, had to wait awhile but it gave us time to catch up with our friends , the food was great and even better the price was well worth it.
We really enjoyed the food and drinks.
Our waitress was lovely.
L.
Waited over an hour for our lunches to arrive! No warning of any wait and no apology when we were finally got it! Our meals were good but the side of fries were awful….the overcooked dregs from the bottom of the bowl! Mentioned it to the staff on paying and he said they do that sometimes!! The meals were great value, just a shame they took so long
J.
Delicious and probably the best value dinner I've had at that style of restaurant in a long time. My pork belly was bigger, yummier and somehow still $8 cheaper than the last pork belly I had elsewhere. Superb.
M.
I absolutely LOVE this tavern. Warm, cozy and inviting. The staff are gorgeous and the food is fantastic and great prices. I highly recommend taking your friends and family there.
R.
Absolutely good food. Very attentive wait staff. Meal times were on good time. Well recommend for service.
S.
Food was great & i really enjoy going there. Staff r terrific, friendly & r always ready 2 help
M.
A great place to get a good meal. Good food, good staff and a buzzy atmosphere.
The Tavern is very popular you will need to book a table
Car parking is fine as there is the Mall car park.
The band in one of the photos is called Witness. Awesome tunes
Back again and still a great deal.
J.
This place is all around a great place to dine at due to their great range of quality food, very friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. However this place can often be crowded and loud, and that may turn some people away from dining here, depending on the person.
D.
an unreserved, full blooded enthusiastic recommendation. great service, wonderful ambience and even better food.
1. lamb platter for 2 @$50. This is massive. the photo doesn't do it justice. wide selection of greens, roast pumpkin, full rich and thick gravy....but goodness me, the lamb! Falling off the bone, rich and flavorsome! so so very tasty.
2. Seafood Chowder. slightly piquant. lovely chunks of soft fish. it was awesome
3. Baby Back Ribs. a classic favourite of the teenager. she enthused about them and the one I had was render and had that true Texas flavour.
4. kids nuggets....standard kids fare, with yummy wedges. thoughtful touch to have colouring and crayons all ready to go. kids were welcome and wouldn't hesitate to bring them back
5. white bait omelette...didn't get to try, but dad certainly enjoyed.
if you go between 4 and 6 on weekdays there's a specials menu that's well worth exploring. it did mean the joint was packed when we arrived then got progressively quieter.
loved the fully enclosed patio area with a large gas log fire. this would have been really nice place to sit had it not been reserved for a group of 20.
our waitress was AWESOME...friendly and proactive and totally wonderful.
I only gave a small amount of feedback, and it's not fair really because drinking Mac's is no hardship (3rd world problems and all that) but I'm not a fan of Speights or Lion so would like to have seen some other options on tap.
incredible place....I WILL be back.
C.
Good food, good portions and good prices.
Best to book a table if going Friday or Saturday night.
The steak was tasty and perfectly cooked.
Beef Wellington has 2 mushrooms in it so they're easily removed if you're not keen on them.
The lamb shank pie is huge and looks delicious.
Other options include salmon and pork.
There is a bar menu of chicken wings, chips and the like.
Dessert options include Apple pie, roulade or cheesecake for $11 the best option is to to go for the combo at $16 where you get 3 desserts for that price its much better value.
There is wheelchair accessible entrance.
Outdoor seating area.
Welcoming fireplace.
Sports matches on The big screen.
The tavern has a gambling machine area.
K.
Absolutely amazing, great decor, lovely friendly staff, the food was awesome and very well priced too. Loved every bit of it, highly recommend Tavern Harewood, get down there and get amongst it. Definitely going back for more.
23/05/22 Disappointingly I'm going to have too change my opinion, my family and I were there two weeks ago for mothers day so understandably the place was very busy however having to wait over 45 minutes for our main plates to be cleared and asked if we wanted desserts is poor, it could have been much longer but I wouldn't know because we left. Fast forward to tonight where I thought things would be back to normal and we would actually get dessert, sadly not the case. It took 20 minutes for someone to come over and take our orders, 20 minutes after that the 2 kids meals arrived which was good but having to wait another 25 plus minutes for the 3 adults meals was not, after waiting 45ish minutes for my meal I was over hungry and unhappy to say the least. I asked one of the wait staff to which she replied "no problem" and promptly disappeared without going anywhere near the kitchen. When I told the chap whom we paid the bill too about this he fobbed me off with a "orh we're very short staffed at the moment" And yet I saw on several occasions wait staff standing around doing not a great deal and at one point saw one of them talking to kitchen staff for an extended period. On top of all that the food was decidedly average tonight. You can't deny the great value and good vibe but Tavern Harewood gets let down by poor service. Twice is too much, I doubt i'll go back.
L.
The decoration of the bar and restaurant is trendy and stylish, the space is spacious and comfortable, the staff are very enthusiastic, hospitality, and the food is very good.
j.
Thank you Harwood Tavern from
Canterbury Wheelchair Basketball
To the chef best steak I've ever had
Medium Rare perfect
The price better than perfect
M.
Well, what's not to like about the Tavern Harewood. Friendly staff, awesome food, great atmosphere. Stopped in for a quick refreshment and a spot of food! We chose the meat platter today. Definitely for the meat eater. Didnt disappoint.
R.
First visit to the Harewood Tavern for dinner last night. The food was amazing tasty, well presented huge portions and very affordable. Lovely helpful staff as well as a good atmosphere. Will definitely return.
J.
The staff were lovely. I got the seafood chowder and it was very mulched up, no shellfish like mussels on top, found 1 whole shrimp and it was chewier than gum!!! No homemade bread, just cheap toast...yuck
L.
OMG!!! you people out there have to come down here and try their meals...mmmm! So delicious! I have been before and the meals are getting more tastier. Even our guests said it was the best place for a very yummy tea.Just wished i could have ordered another main meal... hahaha 😊 Thanks a bunch Tavern Harewood.
M.
I don't think i have ever been to the Harewood tavern and not once had a good time. Friendly and helpful staff, good range of ice cold beers, good range of dishes on offer from the chefs and plenty of sky sport on the big screen. On top of that plenty of parking! Why bother going into town? Will always be back. I wish they still had the model cars in the glass cabinet though they were cool!
W.
Best pub in the North East. Not only great beer and staff great food as well. Try the won tons you will be back. 🍻🥂
C.
Our favourite local pub, we visit regularly. Great atmosphere, plenty of seating and food is always good
M.
Dinner was delicious, as always. The new waitress was attentive, polite, and we will absolutely be back again.
J.
Staff are lovely , really enjoyed my meal. Too loud for conversation, especially for my deaf mum who couldn't hear anyone at our table due to excessive background noise.
R.
Had a lovely meal. I had the white bait fritter with chips and salad. Everything was cooked nicely and tasted awesome. The dressing on the salad was very nice. The person that served us was helpful, friendly and also awesome. The place was very noisy but that is to be expected on a busy Friday evening.
S.
A really lovely establishment with a great vibe! The service I received was outstanding which is really important. The Food however was disappointing, my chips were …mmm what’s the word..bleh. My chicken patty was burnt, oily and chewy, in fact my jaw got tired half way through. But hey the beer was great so I WILL be back.
d.
Had a nice lunch with family, good food and very reasonably priced
S.
Had the pork sandwich and fries most beautiful meal highly recommend 👌
S.
Loved the food ,yummy ,amazing portions and lovely ambiance and value for money .we had lamb shank pie and chicken burger and fish and chips .way too good
S.
Long wait for food but was very delicious
W.
I Love that the tavern is in the Bishopdale shopping center. You can order Domino's and pop over for a quick pint and punt. Always clean tidy friendly and professional.
Grat place to watch sport games live. Lively atmosphere later in the night.
R.
A great atmosphere. Crowded and loud. This place has it going on. Just how I like it.
I reviewed my star#.
The barman seemed a tad unfriendly. Suspecting me of being unvaccinated and not signing in.
T.
Always good with excellent dishes that are such good value.
C.
I took my partner out for a Mother's Day treat and we enjoyed ourselves . We were treated very well by our waitress who made us feel very welcome . Being a sports bar it was a bit noisy so we asked to be move , no problem , we had another table inside a ... minute . Our food arrived inside 35 minutes , not bad for a packed restaurant . I had the steak , tender , juicy with crunchy fries , salad and onion rings . Mum had the beef Wellington which she enjoyed very much . No dessert though , full up from the main course , very good portions , and very good value .
B.
I just love this place! Went there last year and this year for my birthday and had the ribeye and creme brulee both times. Please don't ever take these off the menu because you guys nail them! I called it last night, best ribeye I've ever had. So good I couldn't bare to leave what I couldn't eat so I took it home 🙈
My partner always gets the seafood chowder and loves it. Great atmosphere. Great staff. Awesome wine list. Super affordable. I'd eat here every night if I could!
C.
Fabulous meals, reasonably priced will definitely be back to try other things! Pork sandwich was killer 🤤
J.
Very nice meal. Super pleasant staff ready to smile and joke with the diners. Lovely place to dine.
S.
We ordered a steak, egg, salad n chips - value 4 money n delicious thk u we'll b bk!!
K.
Looking for lunch over new year break. Saw a bunch of groups of seniors heading in so decided they would now where to dine at reasonable cost. Very nice low priced meals at 12 or 15 for majority. Presentation and quantities good. Got a couple of drinks orders wrong but no big. Overall a very nice well priced lunch stop that deserved to be as busy as it was.
C.
Great watering hole. They even handed out free burgers to all patrons to keep us going
J.
The manager Rob is a gentleman with great customer service and always looks after my little boy with a high chair when going for lunch. I love the open pork sandwich and the Guinness isn't bad either but at $13 a pint is very steep it's more expensive than temple bar in Dublin!( the most expensive in Ireland) I'm sorry I didn't ask price first.
M.
Very delicious salmon,nice rice and veggies.Clean and pleasant staff
T.
Lovely meal, staff were a fraction slow to serve on arrival and being Tuesday, but very quickly picked up their attention levels.
All and all a really good experience, good choice of seating options, we sat in the covered, heated and (awesomely refreshing) smoke free outdoor area. 👍👍👍
S.
Great food, fantastic service.
Thanks
S.
First time visit - I had a Beef Wellington, my husband had a Rib eye steak. Both meals were absolutely delicious. Everything we had was cooked to perfection & salad was yummy .. (not just a bunch of green sitting in a bowl!)
Have to say the atmosphere within was very welcoming and genuine. The staff we noticed were happy and cheerful with both customers & other staff. They all worked together so well .. Very noticeably so.
The staff are an asset to this place .. tho very busy and we had no reservation, a table was found for us, it wasn't over noisy, the service was impeccable and the meals were so yummy. Definitely we will return and pass on our thoughts to friends. 💯%
M.
Always a delight to go to the Tavern
A really good feed and great staff
D.
This is a great spot to have a drink or a meal. Friendly staff and awesome food.
k.
Had lunch today and I had the whitebait omelet. Fabulous!!! the waitress Sarah was an absolute gem as were the rest of the staff. The dining room was clean and the rest of the patrons appeared just as happy with their meals and service. Thank you Tavern Harewood.
J.
Great service, nice food, nice atmosphere. Hubby and the father in-law had the lamb shank to share, hubby said that reminded him of Xmas. I had the akaroa salmon, and mil had the steak, everyone was happy with the meals :)
P.
We visited on a Saturday night, group of 8. It got a bit hard to hear during the evening, the acoustics could have been a bit better, but there wasn't much else I could find to complain about. The food was delicious, plenty of it, really nicely cooked, excellent price. Meals at other tables all looked pretty good as well. Drinks were a little on the expensive side but were a good size. It was nice and warm on a cold night. We'll definitely be back.
m.
Love the atmosphere there and food. Love to go again.
K.
Good food and good people and good vibes !! what more do you want? :) We stay just round the block and went there last evening to have our anniversary dinner. Had a round of drinks (good old Guinness!!) and then ordered in the special dinner for 2 !! the lamb shoulder with veges and gravy and mint jelly. Awesome food. There was so much we could not finish, the two us and packed some back home :) Thank you guys for the wonderful evening !!
S.
Wow, the place is so lovely and the service very very good, aah and the food soooooo good it's a for away, just love this place. 😋🍲😁
B.
The best lamb shank pie in the world! Great staff, great prices and booths to boot. What more does one need on a cold winter day in Christchurch?
S.
WOW, we celebrated a birthday, here last night, the service was fantastic, the food was delicious and prompt. It was super busy, but all staff were amazing. The Maitre De, has a special mention, as he was super efficient and clearly knew how to serve under pressure. Would recommend to anyone. To the Chefs in the kitchen, well done your food was amazing.
D.
Always a pleasant experience. The meal and service were fantastic 👌
N.
Went for lunch today to celebrate a relative’s birthday. Was so good to have so many choices on the lunch menu and the food was just so delicious and beautifully presented. Can’t wait to go back for that extra tasty roast vegetable salad...with bacon. Was the nicest lunch I have ever eaten at a restaurant. The staff were so pleasant and helpful too.
R.
Excellent service from well trained, energetic proactive Team...Menu options not overwhelming, meals delicious, well presented, prices being the icing on the cake. A change to enjoy a meal without feeling a loan from the Bank necessary. THANK YOU 🌹
A.
Haven't been here in a while. Still a great place to eat food was delicious. However, staff were clumsy on the day. Knocked over a jug of while clearing a table, wiped the table but not the seating. Also forgot our side order of chips.
L.
We have patronized the Harewood Tavern since day one and always looked forward to our meals and the great staff. Never been disappointed with our meals and service until last Sunday lunch. The lamb burger was bland and tasteless and the pork sandwich was nothing like it
used to be in appearance very small serving. Realize it was busy thus the 40 minute wait
C.
Amazing value for money. Great food. Was disappointed with wait times: 25mins to receive drinks order and then, another hour for our food ( was a booked table for 7 for Saturday lunch) and only a few tables used in restaurants. Have been as a group on several occasions this year and sadly, service is getting slower and slower 🤔
Will sadly think twice about going back again
B.
Great food n service
R.
Great Service and an excellent meal, loved the bucket of prawns. Even though it was Mothers day and the place was packed our meals came very quickly with a friendly smile.
J.
It was very nice better than I thought
N.
Nice food, but found the waiter constantly touching their nose and the manager walking around in bare feet before laying down for a nap under a blanket at a table, a bit odd...
K.
Always so tasty! This is my local to come for lunch with my mum and we love it! Always nice food, good prices and never disappoints 😊
M.
Good food and service. Yummy and great prices 😎
C.
Great food. Great service.
All round great place to enjoy a meal.
a.
Wonderful meal and the Hokey pokey cheesecake amazing!!!
K.
Fabulous food and amazing service as always. Our waiter even went the extra mile to put a candle in my Father's dessert for his birthday. Love the Tavern Harewood ❤️
A.
Nice atmosphere outside, inside is pretty dark, staff aren't overly friendly
L.
Beautiful property, lovely staff. Food n drinks both were great. Price point is a big attraction as well. Had great fun!! Will def go back
S.
Always friendly service. Food is tasty and plenty. Can be a little noisy, but it's a pub so you are aware of it. Reasonable prices. Delicious creme brulee and its huge.
P.
We booked in for a work catch up. Busy night so we had to wait a bit. So OK service but very nice meal. Would come back again.
K.
Really nice food even if the menu is limited. Every item went above and beyond expectations, waiters were really nice and hospitable.
The outdoor area was warm due to fire.
M.
Good honest food at a good price
R.
As a family we have been many times, and each visit has been perfect. Great food, awesome service. It’s why we keep coming back!

Such a community vibe here. Great service. Something for everyone.
A.
Pokies been awhile was fun only put it 20 thought I'd take out the 100 take home as don't usually hv much luck I'm happy ☺️
H.
Great food..wonderful service..
M.
Very busy and loud but I could still hear others at my table. Food was very nice and served pretty quick considering how busy they were. Sat 5pm. Menu should impress most palettes and diets.
G.
Good experience , nice big location and good food , excellent service !
J.
Good service, friendly and efficient barman
C.
Good evening meal selection, well presented dishes, good service. Good selection of drinks too. Recommend!🙂😋
W.
Very good. Prawns were "old school" w/modern twist, nicely presented. Loved fish dish. 1 star less because the table wasn't wide enough and too close to other customers.
D.
Love the difference spaces and ambience. The food is very yummy although we seem to have focused on favourite dishes. Mine the vegetarian stack and hers, the meat eater, lamb shanks. The shared dessert of deep dish apple pie is pretty close to my own mum's... high praise indeed.
D.
Food good and well priced but found bar drinks overpriced 😱😱
J.
Good spot. Honest food...no frilly bits! Good service and not expensive. Try it
L.
Always love our dinners here, but the highlight is always our waitress Jess, always entertaining and goes the extra mile.
A.
A great venue for just a quiet drink or a work dinner. Friendly, helpful staff. Beautiful food at a great price, many specials. Bands on the weekend, big screen TVs everywhere, pokies, sheltered smoking area. This place has it all, why would you go anywhere else
J.
Had the fried chicken & bacon burger as part of "Burger Night" on a Tuesday. The staff and chefs went out of their way to make a coleslaw without mayonnaise when I asked for no sauce on the burger. The chicken was succulent and the bacon was crispy. Accompanied with a side of fries, and for only $15. Fantastic service and great food.
L.
The staff were nice and quality service.
L.
Fantastic service and great food - the nachos and ribs are particularly good (especially with waffle chips). So good we went twice in two nights.
Also a good looking sports bar feel, great range of taps.
Live music wasn’t very lively and they stopped early, which was a shame, but otherwise a good dining experience.
V.
Always a great meal, good value for money and great staff! Highly recommend this place 👍🍴😉
B.
I enjoyed my Vegetable stack. One friend loved her Caesar salad. The corn fritters were a joke. Looked more like pancakes and was very little corn in them. Not good when corn is so cheap.
V.
Such value for money... awesome
M.
Fantastic food, Fantastic prices. Make sure you book. It's popular for both reasons stated.
M.
After having our flight delayed 4 hours. My family were at eachothers throats and craving a good meal more than you can imagine. After getting some groceries from across the road we stumbled into the Tavern and all of a sudden the delay was well worth it. 4 of the 5 family members had the fish special (blue cod) and the other had a ceaser salad. All 5 meals were absolutely amazing. Staff were super helpful and friendly and the environment was layed back. Everything we could have asked for. Thank you so much! Would 100% recommend!
Q.
Chicken nibbles very salty and overdone, would not recommend. Went to watch the televise rugby, staff turn sound on right on kick off, would be good if they turn sound on for anthem and haka
H.
Great food, generous portions and lovely wait staff😃
A.
Great meal. Very friendly and helpful staff. Had the ribs - delicious. Nice area to sit outside also. Good for families also. We hadn’t booked but went early and we were accommodated. Highly recommended!
D.
Good atmosphere and service. Worst ceaser salad I've ever had. It was like the chef was given the ingredients but not the method to assemble it. My fellow diners enjoyed their meals though.
B.
Great meal all though the service was a bit stretched at times but
There was a lot of people trying to get meals at the same time
L.
Wonderful service. Excellent cheap prices and amazing food. Can't wait to come back for more
S.
Extremely well priced meals, great variety and friendly staff make meeting up with friends and family enjoyable, always on our top 5 places to eat, only down side is if rugby is on it's quite loud and hard to hear conversation's ( busy place)
S.
Attentive service, delicious food for great prices. Would absolutely come back
M.
I recommend always going for tea before 6pm to get the early bird specials. I would AVOID the seafood chowder unless you like the taste of smoked fish. It should be called that as that's what it tastes like & it lacks any forms of seafood. Very nice place to dine tho
m.
Very well cooked and presented food. Excellent value for money. Would highly recommend for brunch, lunch or dinner.
F.
Our trusty local, have eaten here time and time again, meals are consistently well made, craft beers in tap and the service fantastic. Highly recommend.
M.
Service is generally good but can be a little patchy depending on the person serving. Food is solid pub fare, beef Wellington is perfectly cooked. Beers are all well cellared and they pour a decent Guinness. All round this is a good local.
J.
Had a friend's birthday here. Good food and prices. The floor was very wet from the gap in the sails (and it was raining) and was a worry as our group was an older group
d.
Was decent food and staff are friendly with a nice atmos couldn't ask for anything more.
E.
Great service! There was a smoker outside in the non smoking area which I thought would have been addressed by staff but the food was A grade and so was the service!
C.
Really good food and service, as a pub though be prepared for noise
R.
Nice place for a meal excellent price for sizing and friendly staff. Only disappointment is they don't have Soya milk. For a real coffee person who needs Soya find this frustrating.
D.
Great range of ales and beers. Good menu with excellent food. Very efficient staff. Well organised layout with areas for customers with different needs. For example, smokers have a defined area, whilst those preferring outdoors have not only a smoke free environment but some protection from the sun. My favourite in Christchurch. Cheers
J.
Excellent food, service and price. We will return. Highly recommend but best to book as its very popular
S.
Highly recommended place great service and food staff are awsome.
C.
Despite some initial hiccups when we arrived - the staffs were busy with their own things and ignored us for a while - I still give this place a five star.
The gentleman who helped find us a table was very patient and kind in setting up a high chair for us amidst their smaller tables. I appreciate this as they had to move some tables further to the side to make this happen.
We ordered an Angus Rib Eye Steak and the Market Fresh Fish. Both were excellent! We saw other diners going with their Special for Two (lamb shoulder) which I would have tried if I haven't just had one a few days back.
The waitress taking our orders were patient and sincere in her recommendations; despite only having worked there for a few short weeks, she did her best to share with us her opinions and were very honest in saying that she hasn't tried some of the things we were interested in.
Definitely would recommend this place if you're dropping by Christchurch and have time for a nice dinner.
t.
It was very busy but the meal was good had no room left for dessert.. Great night
P.
The food was delicious. Except I had to wait almost 1 and a half hours to get it due to the place being so busy but it is worth it.
A.
Food here is top notch, well presented. Service was very quick and food arrived just as quick.
G.
Fabulous tasty food. Place was packed but atmosphere was good as was the service.
M.
Great staff always friendly. Fantastic options through out the week with the chicken parmigiana on Mondays and the Burger night on Tuesdays and the early Bird special from 5 o'clock. Great food to top that off as well.
J.
Great food. Great service. Really looked after us when celebrating a special birthday with family and friends.
n.
Nice dinner come lunch good service and nice friendly staff and publications
L.
Always a great place to meet friends and have one or more of many gorgeous meals on their menu, great wines too. Wait for service, not too long. The staff are always very friendly and courteous, and best asset to Tavern Harewood.😁
C.
Easy to underestimate this place but the food is actually amazing. Highly recommend 👌
B.
Went as a group for late lunch, food was good, then we decided to finish off with hot chocolates and saw them sitting on the counter for a long time before any of the staff decided to bring them to our table, and result was luke warm drinks. Very disappointing .
D.
Great place, great atmosphere, good service. Forgot to get any photos but defiantly will next time. Best of all dinner meals are cheap compared to others around
D.
Lovely atmosphere, good company, friendly,caring, helpful staff. Delicious,reasonably priced food.
M.
Lunch time $15 burgers were very good value. Unfortunately the chips were a bit burnt, service flustered and lack of water for tables.
T.
Delicious food but they were not following the social distancing current rules which made us feel uneasy. We will go back again for the food but probably leave till the social distancing rules are gone completely
P.
Nice food, good priced and friendly staff.
C.
Always great. Service, food and atmosphere is always top class.
A.
Great service, our waiter was very kind and chipper, and the food was great, the special on every certain day is absolutely awesome and the place looks great and is immaculate.
E.
We love the Harewood Tavern and visit for Sunday lunch often. Have got to know Robert and Jess who are so caring. Our latest experience was with the change of wine glasses. Get ridden of them. Far too big for a dainty hand.
G.
Lovely friendly place with great food and beverage.
l.
Always a great experience. Staff are the best, always up for a bit of banter and a laugh. Food is very reliable and very well priced. Great local

a.
Awesome food, awesome staff, great service and atmosphere
Y.
We ordered Angus rib-eye steak and fresh market fish, the food was awesome. The steak, the mushroom sauce and ciabatta were the highlights. The mains are around $23-25. The service here is great.
C.
Tables are much too cramped together. Food was good. Service was very good, staff were very friendly and accommodating.
J.
The food is nice but the waitressing could do a course on manners by not leaning over everyone at the table to hand out food and take away plates . There are 4 sides to a table not just one corner. Four stars for food, 1 star for waitressing.
L.
Excellent service and $15 meals sooo worth it
C.
Always a good dinner. Attentive staff and good food. Always get the steak. Reasonable pricing. Good parking and a continent location. One of my preferred places to eat when in Christchurch.
C.

R.
The meal was great value, unfortunately we visited on a very busy Cup week night so it was extremely noisy. Will go again to check the noise level.
G.
The bar/ resturant are both a mix of modern and oldstyle that worked well together. The food was tastey and exactly as it was decried on the menu. Good size servings and presented well. However the outstanding service was the highlight which sent our experience from good to excellent. The type of genuine service very rarely found in any resturants....
M.
Great menu and good pricing. Very busy and noisey on Saturdays and we had to wait an hour for our meal. Most unusual
J.
A pub grub goodie. Everything good. Just those stupid pokies...get rid of them. They feed a terrible menace in our society 😞
G.
Nice selection of food.

Great local pub with nice decor, big stone fireplaces etc and surprisingly good food! Most mains are $20 I usually get the steak which is always cooked to perfection with yummy steamed veges and garlic butter or mushroom sauce. Also recommend the salmon... and the beef wellington... and the lamb shank pie! it's always packed so you need to book especially on saturday when the rugby is on. Creme brulee big enough for two people to share :) brunch is generous in size and they have these home made crumpets...
R.
As always very good value excellent service and a great meal..the beer didnt taste too bad either!
B.
Good local bar. Don't expect anything too fancy, but the beer is cold and the food is good. Worth a visit if you're in the area.
