Sitting up above the water in Christchurch, this one earns its keep on the view — the bay stretches out in front of you, and there's a terrace with standing heaters for warmer days plus a garden where people linger over drinks after eating. The room is big, with comfy booth seating and enough space between tables that a pram isn't a problem, and it rarely feels cramped or noisy. Food is properly cooked in-house — seafood is the strength, and portions are generous, with plenty of meat options too. High chairs, a kids' menu and free parking are all here, though the car park fills fast, so allow extra time. Service can be a little scattered when it's busy, and at ££ it's more of a treat than a Tuesday.
