    Well deserved certificate of excellence.

    We had just arrived in Christ Church after a long flight from US. We immediately went out for a walk through the beautiful city park and saw Fiddlesticks. What a deliciously delightful spot. Service was great and the food choices were wonderful.

    Superb food and quality staff

    Saw their specials board and popped in. We were seated immediately, super friendly wait-staff could not have been more helpful. The food was delicious and plentiful and for New Zealand prices pretty reasonable. Would definitely go again.

    Nice ambience, great food!!

    Could not fault the food and the service. Food was delicious and nicely prepared. Only fault was maybe too many croquettes served in the entree. Service was excellent and would definitely visit this establishment again.
