Wait team were excellent - polite, welcoming and attentive..Guiness and beers were good. Can't wait to back here again, polly, 4 months ago > I didn’t really believe my family when they said the service here had significantly dropped until recently when I booked the turret room for my mothers wake. It was a booking made the night before and we said we would put a tab down and just wanted drinks no dinner. I wasn’t expecting decorations or anything just a space for us to have some drinks since we had already eaten before we got there.

And we went f, Korowai Alofa Burchett Kissling, 2 months ago > Made a last minute booking to catch up with a friend and right from the phone call they did everything they could to make us feel welcome. They squeezed us in and we had a lovely table upstairs. There was live music as we walked in and the atmosphere was buzzing even though it was wet and miserable outside. Zoe looked after us straight away, and couldn't do enough to make our evening the best night. I hadn't had a stone grill before and she explained everything to us and the food was absolutely delicious!! Would go back again just for the Zoe factor - amazing customer service, checked on us, Tracey Simpson-Smith, a month ago ## Doors - [What stood on this ground](https://www.chch.live/before?lat=-43.5077653&lon=172.6639902) - [On the map](https://www.chch.live/map#-43.5077653,172.6639902,17) - [Documents that name it](https://www.chch.live/documents?q=Fox%20and%20Ferret) - [Shirley](https://www.chch.live/shirley), the suburb - [The OSM record](https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1259517689), fix it there ## Questions, answered briefly **What is Fox and Ferret?** A bar or pub in Shirley, Christchurch. **Where is Fox and Ferret?** Marshland Road, Shirley, on [Marshland Road](https://www.chch.live/street/shirley/marshland-road).
