Cobb & Co. Papanui

At Cobb & Co. Papanui in Christchurch, the brief's simple: make everyone feel at home.

From fireside corners to the lively family area, it's built for relaxed gatherings of any size, whether it's a spontaneous lunch or a milestone celebration.

Start with nostalgic bites like a classic shrimp cocktail topped with seafood sauce or crunchy fries with aioli. From the sea, the kitchen leans into coastal comfort with creamy seafood chowder and garlic bread, homemade smoked kahawai pie, and golden beer-battered fish and chips.

There's plenty from the land, too - tuck into an Angus beef burger or slow-cooked southern ribs, while chicken swings from Moroccan-spiced to rich coconut. Vegetarians aren't forgotten either, thanks to a kumara, chickpea and corn patty or creamy mushroom and parmesan penne.

Gather the gang and settle in for warm hospitality and hearty plates. Your next easygoing feast awaits at Cobb & Co. - forks at the ready and smiles all round!
