After over 5 years in Christchurch, and having tried many breakfast places, this is one of the best breakfasts in town. Maybe even the best breakfast! We both had the big breakfast and wanted to leave out the carbs, which was no issue at all and they added some spinach instead. For the price (24 NZD), it was the best and biggest brekkie we ever had. The quality of the ingredients was excellent and the way they cooked the bacon and scrambled the eggs was just awesome. The service is fast and always with a smile. The coffee matches the quality of the breakfast to make it all complete.

Easy to book online. Asked for an area where we could catch up for friends and they did this for us. The staff were amazing, very accomodating, always making sure we were content with everything. The food was excellent and the price too. The food had great taste to it. Cooked to perfection. I had the roast and the Yorkshire pudding was amazing. Vegas cooked perfect. The atmosphere was aesthetic. An original pub tastefully decorated. Lots of parking, but its paid parking unfortunately. There are Mobility parking spots nearby. I can't rave how much I loved the entire night here, the music was tasteful for all generations and I 100% highly recommend the meals and the amazing Deserts on offer. Best Gastro Pub Meal in Christchurch......

We were in Christ Church for meetings and we found ourselves at Rockpool often. We found the food to be reasonably priced and the menu had a lot of great things on it. I really enjoyed the lamb shank. We also caught a rugby match. I should have taken pictures but I must have failed to. The staff were easy to communicate with.

A great pub. Good beer, tasty food, and fantastic service. We had the lamb shank and filled steak. Both were great. To top it off we played pool and drank Margareta from a tea pot. We will be going back.
