Riverstone Kitchen

I was trying to be good but as soon as I saw the amazing food I wanted to try it all. Lovely friendly staff topped off a lovely lunch. We will definitely be back again. Many thanks

Visited here en route home after a trip to Christchurch. Since opening have always made this a stop on long SH1 journeys. Great coffee, great food and the playground is awesome for kids to burn off steam in. Today it was a coffee, a play and a check up on the castle progress.

Wow. We enjoyed the feasting menu with wine match and every dish had beautiful flavours accompanied by a range of delicious fresh produce. It truly was a feast and the wine matches were also perfectly balanced. Our waitress could not have been any more friendly or efficient, this was a total ten dining experience on every level. A very memorable meal and I am so glad we had the opportunity to sample Bevan's fabulous feast and his culinary expertise. It is difficult to say which course was my favourite, but ohh...that salted caramel ice-cream and deep-fried custard...just saying. I would return here in a heartbeat.
