Sandpiper
97 Bure Lane, ChristchurchMy Wife and I visited The Sandpiper today 14th Oct 2025) and we just had a Mains (watching our waistlines and pennies these days) and it was excellent. We both had the Mixed Grill from the Flamingo Grill and value for money was unbeatable. We asked that our appreciation be passed on to the Kitchen Crew. How on earth they can plate up Chicken, Steak, Gammon and Sausaae and an Eeg and Chips all at the same time and present it all beautifully cooked and hot is too good for words.. The Abbot was also perfect. The Atmosphere was fine - reserved - but being Locals we know it gets noisier when the football etc is on. It's just a matter of picking your time. Staff as always are lovely.

Upper Deck Bar & Restaurant
95 Mudeford, ChristchurchGreat quality real home cooked food. Its so rare nowadays to find a real kitchen where the food is actually made in house by skilled chefs. The only thing they don't make is the bread, butter and ice cream, our server told us.
The seafood was tasty and fresh, the portions were all a good size and everything was delivered with great service from our waiter Phil. The restaurant has nice booth seating, a reasonable wine list, and even the desserts were well presented and served. This is a far cry from the chain restaurants that dominate our high streets and is probable one of the best restaurants in the area.
With plenty of parking, a small lounge area, as well as views of the bay during the day and a terrace for the summer, its easy access and genuinely great food makes it well worth a visit.
Good luck!

The Paddle Cafe Bar Eatery
397 Waterford Road, Highcliffe, ChristchurchVisited with my family who where over from Australia, and if you know any Aussies you'll know they can be quite the coffee snob!
All 3 of them had nothing but positives to say about the whole experience. Great food, great coffee and great service!
I had the pork belly special which was fantastic with lots of great flavours. 2 had the soup and toastie deal and loved the flavours. The 4th had the breakfast and loved the homemade hash browns ?
If you're in the area, definitely worth a stop, whether it's just for a coffee or a full meal, everything there is really really good.
I noticed they do theme nights as well so definitely planning on dropping down to one of them sometime soon!

The Bear of Burton
15-17 Salisbury Rd, Burton, ChristchurchBrilliant place, I stayed one night in Goldilocks and it was such a gorgeous room, so many lovely little details, all the facilities worked the bathroom was brand new. Nice attention to detail with the tea tray and complimentary drink! Breakfast was delicious too. The pub is big downstairs and when i arrived (about 4 in the afternoon) it was a bit quiet and as a solo traveller freaked me out a wee bit. But it got lovely and busy later with a great atmosphere. SPECIAL SHOUT OUT to the staff!! They absolutely made this place, especially Alessa, an absolute gem who made me feel looked after and so at home! Lovely :)

Wok U Like
173 Barrack Rd, ChristchurchAlways greeted and welcomed in a friendly way when visiting this take away on Barrack Road. I have recently made this my regular after trying many of the others in the area. I like their menu structure, with lovely options for families or just for 1. The food is always fresh, piping hot and carefully packaged to transport home. I believe they also deliver, but I always like to go and watch them cook in their clean, organised open kitchen.
Their homemade spring roll is epic, along with tasty sauces, tender meat and lovely crunchy freshly cut veg. Their fried food is always tasty, they must take pride in clean fresh oil.
I suggest you go check it out! Wok U Like thanks for being super! ?

Coast Coffee Co
74 High Street, ChristchurchCoast Coffee in Christchurch is a lovely little coffee shop and definitely a place I would recommend. We actually found it while we were looking for familiar chain coffee shops like Costa or Caffè Nero, but we are very glad we came across this place instead. It has a much more personal and cosy feeling, and the atmosphere is warm, relaxed, and welcoming.
The coffee was really good, smooth and enjoyable, and the sweet treats were also very nice. It is the kind of place where you can sit down for a while, take a break, and enjoy your drink without feeling rushed. One of the nicest parts for us was sitting by the window and watching the street outside. If you like people-watching or simply enjoying the view of a charming town street while having your coffee, this is a great spot.
We were also very lucky because the day we visited, there was a classic car display in Christchurch. From our window seat, we were able to watch some amazing classic cars passing by while sipping our coffee, which made the experience even more special and memorable.
Overall, Coast Coffee is a small but charming place with lovely coffee, tasty sweets, and a very pleasant atmosphere. It was a much nicer experience than going to a standard chain coffee shop. Highly recommended if you are in Christchurch and looking for a cosy coffee stop.
