Located at the historic homestead of Riccarton House, The Local Restaurant offers wholesome seasonal and rustic food. Dine either alfresco in our gorgeous rose courtyard or sit inside one of the heritage rooms with open fires and views over the Avon river.
Headed up by Sam Marchant, the owner of the Christchurch Farmers Market, Sam has a passion for local produce and to support those people that produce locally.
His menu at the Local. is seasonally changing and is a very garden-to-plate philosophy. The 5 planter boxes outside his kitchen window provide a wonderful selection of ever changing vegetable ingredients as well as fresh herbs, along with locally brewed ales including Wigram Beer, Pegasus Bay Wines, Hummingbird Coffee and Aroha Elderflower range.
Many of our ingredients are sourced from our very own Farmers Market held every Saturday from 9am on the grounds of the restaurant.
The restaurant is open Wednesday – Friday 10.00am till 4pm and Sun from 9am – 4pm.
Saturday the restaurant is closed due to the Christchurch Farmers Market.
