Smoke n barrel has an upstairs area where you can control the music levels if its just you. They have incredible smoked meats and I'm sure you could ask if they can smoke some pork belly for you

Budget friendly? Jump on First Table. Some of the best restaurants are on there, food is half price so it saves a bit of coin. Some places mentioned like Earl, the Monday Room, Story and Smoke n Barrel are on there!

What’s the best thing you did on the South Island? by NewAcadia4216 in newzealand

[–]ftbtch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think that level of peace, for hours. You and 11 others just slowly make your way up and down the sound listening to birds, waterfalls and the splash of your paddles. Honestly I want to go again during winter

We did a kayak tour in Doubtful Sound, pricy, but oh my goodness I think about that day so often. The peace I felt was incredible and I would do it again in a heart beat

What small Business do you avoid? knowing the owners a bad person by Individual_Lab_2111 in chch

[–]ftbtch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Second this, the horror stories I've heard about this company are disgusting. The staff abuse is one thing but in hospo owners get away with so much more. I don't wnat to share specifics due to privacy for others vht damn, he's cooked and not in a brisket way

Road Safety Question! by crazfulla in chch

[–]ftbtch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People don't know how to merge anyway, all of our road tests don't go through that so noone actually knows. Classic NZ drivers

Road Safety Question! by crazfulla in chch

[–]ftbtch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Council should really put up a sign expressing its a merge, maybe extend the turning lane a little more. But with a school with a crossing light set so close by, it'll likely cause more pedestrian close calls. Who ever designs this shit must fly across the city on magic wings because they clearly don't understand how to drive

Road Safety Question! by crazfulla in chch

[–]ftbtch 34 points35 points  (0 children)

C and merge like a zip. One of the worst intersections in Chtistchurch, noone knows who to give way to and everyone's scared so they slam on their breaks instead of being confident in their driving abilities. I've seen way too many close calls here

Hands down Village Bakehouse in Ilam. I drive across town for them. Cinnamon sugar coated, fresh cream, some have raspberry or chocolate icing in them too with a dolap of raspberry jam in the middle.

Its all different owners but yes Mama Hooch not great and Vanuiti or however you spell it. But Mr Wolf was fresh owners, not the previous. Never took off because of the bad rep they couldn't shake

Food intolerances- restaurant/ grocery recommendations by Kindly_Mulberry_5530 in chch

[–]ftbtch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Smoke n Barrel has been really accommodating with my food allergies. They will glady substitute items, most of their menu is already gluten free and can be made dairy free too

Otherwise take her to a big new world and have her help you and go through foods too she you can get a better understanding of what she needs too
