How the council’s directory described it
Read the full description council directory, about 2024
Set in the idyllic and expansive grounds of Deans Bush, Riccarton House was established in 1843 as a family home for Canterbury's founding family, the Deans family. Local is the name of the restaurant that follows on this family feeling with a casual dining atmosphere and a produce-driven menu, much of it sourced from their five planter boxes and the regular Saturday Christchurch Farmers' Market. Private venue hire avaliable. This eatery is completely smokefree - this includes their outdoor dining area. Support them in their goal of making Christchurch smokefree! Open Monday-Friday & Sunday 9am - 4pm
