While Fisherman's Wharf is known as having the best and freshest seafood in town, we would also like to bring to your attention our wonderful fish and chips, which must be the freshest in Christchurch. Fish and chips are a bit of a Kiwi institution, having first been introduced by British settlers and with the first few fish and chips shops being established pre-WW1. Fish and chips have been the most popular restaurant food throughout the last 100 years, with almost every small town and suburb in NZ having a fish and chip takeaway or restaurant. The key to great seafood and fish and chips is a combination of a few things, firstly good quality fresh fish, the fresher the better. Pride and passion in cooking it just right and finally the chef has to know what they are doing to get it perfect. It’s these three factors that we believe make our fish and chips the best. Firstly, we do have our own commercial fishing trawler, which means simply we catch it, we cook it, then we serve it – you simply can’t beat the freshness of our fish! Rob our chef has a wealth of experience and passion cooking seafood and he treats the 30th dish he has cooked just the same as his first. Also, finally you can’t beat our view to eat them – there is always something going on in Lyttelton harbour to capture your attention while dining! Good Fry Days! Our traditional fish and chips have a choice of either a delightfully light beer batter or delicately crumbed fresh fish (choice of Gurnard, blue cod or go for the catch of the day) all served with golden fries, salad and our delicious homemade tartare sauce and of course all served with a view! For more mouth-watering dishes, please check out our menu here and be sure to book early as we get very busy! 03 328 7530
Did you know that we are open for breakfast on the weekends? No, didn't thinks so! We are open from 8am both Saturday and Sunday so make sure you start your day well, with yummy breakfast with a view with us! Lyttelton is such a great place to visit and explore on the weekends with so much to see, do and eat, it packs a lot in such a small place with stunning views, an always bustling working port and all wrapped by the Port hills. Lyttelton Farmers Markets - Every Saturday 10am-1pm - London Street This is a real highlight each week and a bit of an institution in Christchurch and Lyttelton of course. The Lyttelton Farmers Market is a weekly celebration of the food, the music and the local vibrant community. With the market kicking off at 10am, there is plenty of time to head over to us for one of our legendary Wharf's Big Breakfast or for a lighter choice how about delicious creamy mushrooms on wholegrain toast.
