Reviews of The Little Fiddle

Ok bar, ranged from dead to pumping in the evening, bouncer questioned my teva’s due to management open toe policy due to potential glass on floor, but seems they are only worried about men as same rule didn’t apply to women. Also they have no premium larger on tap

Not a bad place, beer is cold and the food is okay. Not a destination eatery though.

Had a lovely lunch, great flavour, good size portions, and friendly staff, would definitely go back, reasonably priced, good selections

Excellent food and service would recommend to friends and family as well as whoever reads this post.

Dogs are allowed inside on a lead which is a huge plus for me. Atmosphere is cool and staff friendly. Food was good pub grub at a reasonable price. Good amount of TVs to watch the rugby on too!

Outstanding service! Cool wee pub! Good food! Recommend!!

The service was great, staff were lovely and food tasted great. One of the best restaraunts I've been to. Had a lot of options for food and drink. Overall a great restaurant and I would recommend.

Neat little Irish bar in one of the alleys by the Terrace, always good for pint of Guinness and it has separate busy and quiet areas to entertain people who want a good night and others who want a drink and catch up with friends. Only disappointment is on visits its not that the staff are unfriendly but maybe a touch more of the Irish cheer is needed? Just feels like could be a warmer touch from the staff

My wife and I were very impressed with our meals. There was a colorful assortment of delicious vegetables in our meals. The service was fantastic too

Great place for lunch & drinks. Very friendly staff and food was great. Will come again.

Love this place. Great service and good food.

Lou was absolutely fantastic! Very nice and great personality. Would recommend for everyone! -Your favorite Americans

We visited on a chilly Christchurch evening Enjoyed a very tasty roast dinner. Good menu selection Cosy,warm bar Sat near a fire and watched cricket on one of the large screens Friendly staff I would return and recommend Thank you

Amazing place in the heart of city…best place to sit for late night..drink are amazing!!

The staff have always been really nice here. Drinks are good and cold and the decor always keeps me entertained as there are so many nick-nacks everywhere to look at!

The best dining experience of my visit to Christchurch. Not only was the lamb salad the best I've had to date, but I made the awkward request of a mocktail, which was apparently no trouble at all! The staff were lovely, so helpful and attentive and the bartender even wrote down the recipe for my mocktail.

Awesome place, fantastic food, good looking staff and they sell Kilkenny, best damn pub in Christchurch

Wounderful service and food awesome .. roast was awesome 👌

Visited New Years eve. Great atmosphere, music and ambience. All ages having a good time but music a little loud.

Nice atmosphere, good service at the table and food was good. Nice cocktails with meal. DJ playing the night we were there also

Great place to eat. More winter food than summer. Dark inside warm and comfy on a cold day

Good music, great staff, excellent drinks.

Great atmosphere, excellent service and delicious food

Great Pub food. Cozy pub feel. Pint of excellent Kilkenny's Irish beer at $11 and a roast pork lunch at $15. What more can you ask for at lunch.

Friendly welcome, great beers, loved the Sunday roast

Had drinks, dinner and watched the All Blacks v Tonga rugby game here Saturday week ago. Great atmosphere and great food. The front of house guy / barman was awesome - loved the way he floated around the place all evening chatting and joking with the patrons. He's born for hospitality! The place was warm and welcoming - we will definitely visit again when back in Christchurch.

The first-class Irish pub provides you with lower-level pub food.

The best roast we have ever had, meat melts in your mouth and friendly staff

Really awesome place, always got something going on, plenty of TVs cozy and a good atmosphere. Will be back

Love this place, great staff, drinks and atmosphere

Nicely decorated pub with interesting Irish regalia matched with friendly staff and a generous Sunday roast deal at 2 for $35

Great specials menu, $15. My friend and I both had the roast of the day, 1 pork and 1lamb. Great size meal, not too big. Great staff and service. Nice cool fizzy drink. Lorraine was so helpful. Cheers

The food was restaurant quality. We ordered steak, roasted pork and pavlova and they were all delicious. Fantastic customer service too. Highly recommneded!

Called in for a quick drink with the family, as the atmosphere was great we ended up staying for a meal. All meals were fantastic and prices were reasonable. Bar and waitstaff were excellent and very friendly. Well done to the team for creating such an awesome place to go 10/10!

Best spot in chch! So accommodating and has the best music in town. Love it ❤

The food and atmosphere were good - I had spare ribs, the meat falling off the bone, the hubby had chicken tenderloin which was very tasty. Can't fault the food. But why oh why were we charged $70 for a bottle of Roaring Meg red wine, whereas the restaurant the night after only charged $45 for the exact same bottle? Grrrr. Seems like a rip off. Nevertheless, food and atmosphere as well as service were very good.

Excellent Irish pub serving next level pub food. I had the very nice Lamb Rump, Pea puree, seasonal veggies, fries and just the amount of gravy. Washed down with a pint of Kilkenny. Service was excellent. Heaven!

Amazing rotisserie and fabulous service from the bartender. Would highly recommend!

Great service with very good finger food for a group get together

Fun Friday night. Good ol skool sounds, mature crowd.

Food and drinks were super nice. The poor waiter starting of was trying her best and didn't deserve the negative feed back she got. All and all I loved this place but potentially the staff could use a little more training when they first come into the job. Thank you guys :) p.s sorry for my family's embarrassing scene. I hope you all have a good day <3

Liked the place so much on the Saturday, we went back on the Sunday for bloody mary heartstarters ❤ and the Sunday music sess💚. Fried chicken was bloody awesome, staff were great as usual, made us feel like part of the family. Slainte X

Best pub in town, lively staff and always sharp service

Heaps of TV screens so no chance of missing the game you want to watch. They serve a range of cider which is a win for me. Good place for evening beers to turn into a night time boogie.

Always a fun place to be, great drink selection and the live band was cool!

Very friendly pub, I had the bangers and mash with onion gravey, really good

Delightful polite friendly staff, nothing too much trouble. Menu superb, meals of very high standard both in quality and quantity. Gorgeous pub and atmosphere not to be missed !! Icing on cake my hubby's fav HP Sauce !!

Good food and great bar

Great roast meal and service. Waiter very knowledgeable on the drinks.

Excellent food, atmosphere and service

Fantastic great music and cold beer .

Great friendly Irish bar. Great $15 lunch menu. The Guinness pot pie was very good. Washed down with a pint of Kilkenny. Well worth a visit.

One of the best steaks I've had in 18 years in NZ. My wife's Char grilled chicken salad was also amazing. What a meal. The Irish waitress put us in good spirits as soon as we walked in. Many thanks Alex

Great food, great service, definitely recommend

Great selection of local and real Irish beer including Kilkenny and of course Guinness! The food was also really really good! I had ham hock that fell off the bone and was absolutely delicious! My wife had the chicken schnitzel! Both were perfect. The chips and salad were also really nice! The service was outstanding! The bartender let us try the different beers and was very knowledgeable about them. The manager also came out and asked us about our meals after we were done and he was genuinely interested in what we thought! Prices were also very good for a downtown location. I highly recommend it!

Large choice of drinks. The French waitress is very nice :)

Great service and fun place for a drink

Cool little pub, great service and cool environment!!!

Great food great beer delightful staff warm and inviting what more can you ask for

First class. A great ambiance, good wine and beer and people that really get hospitality. We were really made to feel at home and will definitely be back.

Our last arvo in christchurch what an awesome find locals playing their fiddles and banjos..made us all want to pack up and move to Christchurch. What a great spot we will come back 😍

Very generous serving size, really excellent service considering it was a packed Saturday night, DELICIOUS food - didn't take photos because it was demolished 😂

Was a Saturday night so was very busy but great music and atmosphere.

Lovely Irish pub - down a little alley off the terrace. Sunday sessions of music 4-6.30 pm. Irish music today - brilliant. Nice food & beer. Interesting interior.

Good pub food. Decent sized portions. Good choice of beer. Reasonable price. Good music (not too loud - important when you're getting on a bit). Great atmosphere. I'd happily eat here again.

The blue cod bites were melt in the mouth! I'd go back just for them, yum 😋 Lighting is a bit iffy but other than that great place

Great friendly service and yummy food. Both times I have been to the little fiddle I have been impressed with the friendly service and it's pretty quick as well.

Great place. Warm fire. Yum menu. Friendly manager and staff. Clean toilets. Will return.

Was great. Didn't see a little fiddle anywhere though. And didn't get to have one either :(.

Food is tasty... great burguers (one of the best in chch). You just need to relax and don't come hungry, waiting time is long.

Such friendly staff and this was the best bespoke salad made especially for me from different ingredients on the whole holiday! Really tasty with lovely touches as I didn't want meat or fish or halloumi. Super Guinness too of course!

Took my wife for a meal on a Saturday night since she had been staying in chch since for close to 3 months now since our boys were born premature, so the food was good, the staff were excellent but It was way to loud it was that loud I was not able to hear my wife talking to me whilst she was right beside me.

We found this pub unexpectedly tucked a way in a corner. Just like an Irish pub, great food great aumibance. Expectly the attentive and friendly staff.

Service was a little slow, with a 1 hour wait before food arrived (we were a party of 14 who has pre)booked. Food was nice but still not sure if it was the lamb roast I had ordered as my not was missing

Great atmosphere, delicious and varied menu. More vegetarian and or a vegan option be even better. Service good although as they so busy was understandably a bit of a wait for cocktails. Would definitely go again!

Omg the tastiest Guinness Pie I’ve ever had. Dad and I had the pie and Mum had the roast pork which she said had so much flavour. Excellent service with the food and drinks from Scott, a lovely young man serving us. Do yourself a favour and try it for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.

Great little spot, friendly and welcoming

Every week I find myself on the hunt for good stops for a wine and great ambience. The terrace is always full of surprises but The Fiddle offered something very refreshing- the service. I’ve been here a couple of times but on my last visit I was served by your new Bar-man who changed my mind about Central Otago Sauvs and swayed me from the usual Marlborough whites. Hospitality staff can be formal to a point that the only greeting you get is when you come in or when you pay your tab off. Wasn’t the case with PK. Sporadic chats with him through the course of couple hours made me revisit my younger days or talking about music from when we used to play hockey down south. Great laughs and revisits. So refreshing. You will be seeing a lot more of me and I will recommend this place to my friends and family. Great vibe, music and new memories.

Best meal We’ve had since being in New Zealand. All staff courteous and welcoming. I had lamb shoulder with duck fat potatoes, my husband had the shepherd pie (which was enough to feed three people) he absolutely loved it.

Not only is the Little Fiddle well kept, clean and friendly, but the vibes are truly second to none. Greeted by warm smiles and kind faces, the gentlemen behind the bar are infact the ones who deserve to be bought a drink. Top notch lads! As for the kitchen; the irish breakfast was spot on, boasting a blackpudding that, if it hasn't already, should win awards. 5/5 for the Little Fiddle, as traditional as it is contemporary.

Reasonable place, not much like an Irish bar really but the thought's there. Service is good.

Really yummy roasts and great size. 2 for $35 on a Sunday. Cosy and relaxed atmosphere.

Awesome place, an extensive menu, with excellent service. Would recommend

Lovely Irish pub - down a little alley off the terrace. Sunday sessions of music 4-6.30 pm. Irish music today - brilliant. Nice food & beer. Interesting interior.

Lovey place nice staff and the food was delicious. Will be going back

Read a book here from scorpio books, it was funny. Bangers and mash had a nice simplicity to it

Friendly, wirh great food.

Lovely place. Beautiful food, Irish music and staff very helpful.

Great little pub with an honest and hearty menu, swimming in a sea of Auckland bistro wannabes.. Good on ya. When you find the prices for lunch on the river a bit JAFA move 50 metres back for better beer and nosh.

Lovely place. Beautiful food, Irish music and staff very helpful.

Great atmosphere, manageress is an angel, we ordered the stew and for 3 of us the meat at the bottom of the bowl was cold, she put it right straight away though three steaming hot bowls arrived shortly after the cold ones were taken away, and it was delicious, meat just fell off the bone and there was plenty. Thanks Little Fiddle Staff, credit to the brand!👍👍

Great night they really pulled the stops out to get us in thanks

Good atmosphere & service. Guinness great, food not so good.

The place you want to be if you're after the best roast beef you've ever had accompanied by awesome staff who always give a warm welcome whilst providing adequate banter, wash that down with a pint of Panhead Supercharger and you've got yourself a recipie to the start of an awesome night.

Good pub food and atmosphere. Highly recommended

Great place with great food and great service. Toilets are a bit unusual. But so long as you don't feel the need to pogo you should be fine.

Nice atmosphere, food good and price good.

Good vibes - excellent customer service a must visit when in Christchurch city 🍻🥂

Very friendly and helpful staff. Platter had maybe 10 different ingredients. Very yummy and would have been enough for 3 people. Very generous serving.

Lovey place nice staff and the food was delicious. Will be going back

Food was okay. (Overpriced for what we got compared to other restaurants in the same area) Bar staff great! However 1 of the waitstaff was rude and dismissive tone...everything seemed like a hassle.

Awesome place, an extensive menu, with excellent service. Would recommend

Thought the bar staff were bit a bit preoccupied when we were ordering. Besides that nice bar

It had great music and the food was lovely, the waitress was very friendly, helpful and good at her job.

Cool place for a beer. Needs more irish music!

Lovely wee pub. Bangers and mash was delicious. Only minor issue was some confusion around "greet and seat" - three people on the floor and unclear who was doing what. Easily fixed. Will definitely be back.

Watched the rugby here. Lots of tvs so great view wherever you sit. Service was great got shown a table instantly.

Nice bar good feel to it. Decent beets available

Good atmosphere and good food

Great food Even better service. Dog friendly. Definitely recommended

Great night out, very popular bar, good music, good value for money meal and well presented, staff very friendly.

Great food... Went for the Guinness pie...freshy cooked I could not complain... Very attentive service too!

Great selection of beer, friendly staff. 4 stars for me only because it was a little dark; however seating is available outside

Very family friendly. The ladies at the bar very friendly and nice to the kids . Gave the boy a free icecream and coloring pad . Highly recommend it .

Awesome. Great food, service and staff

Great atmosphere and food. Highly recommend.

Great for a snack stop however later in our meal we were 'forgetten' by staff & missed our dessert which was a shame. We almost were charged for it 🤔 but received an apology at least.

Incredible food and atmosphere

Lovely and cozy inside.fire.nice Irish pub decor.nice staff.prompt service.what really let it down.we were a group of 5 and a lot was missing off the menu.so we had our drinks and ate somewhere else.a shame .we were Cosy. Hesitant to go back unless for drinks now.

Go there each time and food is still good.

Had a lovely weekend with hubby. We had lunch in this cute place which had fantastic food.

Great atmosphere, but the dj needs to get over himself and let songs play at least 50% of the way through.

Read a book here from scorpio books, it was funny. Bangers and mash had a nice simplicity to it

(Translated) Nice pub in the city center, traditional beers and huge surroundings. Great to see so many people. (Original) Bel pub in centro città, birre tradizionali e ambiente enorme. Ottimo per vedere tanta gente.
