Food and Drink
We've got a full bar right here, and we're open 2 hours before almost every show! Want to eat? No problem – we've got an extensive range of great food you can order at our bar too.
Our food comes from the amazing kitchen right next door at Craft Embassy who have been making sure we've got one of the best food offerings of any theatre in the country since 2019. Everything that is available there is available here, and is delivered right to your table in our bar.
We do stop taking mains orders around 45 minutes before a show starts and switch to the snacks menu (below). We want you to be able to relax and enjoy your mains, and the snacks are more practical to take into the theatre as finger food.
You can still order snacks just before you go in and we'll bring it into you – we'll make sure to seat you where we can sneakily hand you your food. Please note you can't leave the theatre to order food or drink during a show, so make sure you're sorted before you head in!
If you've got a large group, we encourage you to book with us for dinner (just flick us a message or give us a call). We're also right in the middle of the best hospitality strip in Christchurch, surrounded by a whole range of awesome restaurants and bars if you'd like to explore the options here on The Terrace!
From our experience we do recommend you tell them that you've got to be at the theatre about half an hour before the show. If you're on time then you can still just relax here, and if you're a bit late, then you won't have a stressful turnaround between dinner and the show.
Again, if you want to push it close and/or eliminate deadline anxiety, then consider eating here so you can 100% see when the theatre door is open, and about to close!
We kindly ask that you refrain from bringing third party food or drink in to consume here. We do make an exception for Rollicking Gelato though :-)
Below is our drinks menu and our snacks menu. If you're thinking about coming here for a main meal, you can view the full food menu on Craft Embassy's website.
