Costa Coffee in Christchurch

After completing our activities, a group of us had a very nice drink in the bar. The service was friendly and the staff very good. As the afternoon progressed, we had the displeasure of experiencing the 'jazz' group setting up. Whilst only a few of us were left, we were first asked to move tables as they wanted to reposition ours (by 90 degrees and 6 inches forward) then about 10 minutes later we were asked if we wished to continue our meeting elsewhere as they were ready for their guests and members to arrive. As we had nearly finished, we drank up and vacated, clearly not welcome. Consequently, we ended up in the Curlew, which is situated around the corner from the center. The staff were equally as friendly, the ale selection was a lot better and we ended up ordering food! Moral of the story... Go elsewhere after activities at the center!

So ordered at 12 on the website to be delivered 45 mins later the tracker was showing at the prep stage so thought I’d call to see what’s happening to be told they were a driver short and when he was free my order would be made May be 20 more minutes so I said I’d cancel the order and that it would have been nice to know! So went out to go get something else for lunch. 1 25 pm I had a call ( 1 hour 25 mins after ordering ) to say the driver was at my house! Despite the fact I’d cancelled the order

(Takeaway) Quick and friendly service, nice and hot food, definitely recommend for those in the area who need a place for lunch / dinner

This place has the potential to be something very special. Unfortunately, the staff member serving ice-cream was more than disinterested in serving us when we visited last week. No "hello" no "thankyou" and not even a smile. It doesn't take much to make the effort.

Awful food and overpriced. Visited yesterday with my wife and kids. Quoted 15 min wait - stood at the hatch waiting for 40 minutes before the food finally turned up. The haddock was virtually non existent inside a mass of a very hard, overcooked batter. And of what little fish I could find it was dry as a bone. Came away feeling hungry and ripped off. Not worth the visit.
