The Stourvale Pub - Christchurch

Had a meal tonight. Cheaper than most places. Admittedly very busy but there was no eye contact or welcome just frantic pump pulling. Beer was nice, coffee was warm had a kind of greenish residue floating in the centre but it stirred in. No milk was provided so a journey back to the bar in to the queue. Food came in 20 minutes with just a fork so another journey back to the bar into the queue. The chips were dark brown and looked totally oil sodden- warmed up leftovers l think, some peas were brownish. Very disappointing experience, they were so busy no one came to ask us about our meal, no one else was eating, l now know why. Steak was nice as was the chicken, best not serve food if the level of service and quality is like this at busy times.

Great pub, lovely locals and friendly staff ! Great pint of Haze too!!

Friends birthday. As we travelled 2 hours we arrived early to eat. Amazing atmosphere and food was good.

Great atmosphere on Friday eve, friendly bar staff, and a good selection of drinks. Highly recommended.

Stopped off for lunch, friendly pub, great service and food was good and very reasonably priced.
