Overview

So, let me tell you about this spot I stumbled upon in Christchurch—Churchills Tavern. Located on Battersea Street, it’s got the classic pub vibe but with a twist. You know how some places have that magic touch? It’s like this one wants to be your local, but also, it has some quirks.

First off, I checked it out on a Saturday night, and…well, we got there kind of late, like around 6:30 PM, and surprise! It was closed. Bummer, right? But I’ve since heard from others that it’s a cozy little joint when it’s actually open. They have a seafood basket that folks rave about, even if it’s missing mussels.

The atmosphere? It seems to fluctuate. When the DJs are on, it’s a whole mood! But without them, some say it feels a bit empty, akin to a theater after the show’s over—just not the same.

And hey, if you’re into games, they’ve got pokies machines and even some bar games. Perfect for when you’re feeling lucky, I guess!

Speaking of feelings, they’ve got a good beer selection too, and while I can’t speak for the cleanliness personally, the reviews are mixed about it. And don’t forget the friendly staff; it sounds like they can make you feel right at home.

Wanna grab a bite or catch the game? You can dine in or chill on the outdoor seating. Just a heads up, though—no delivery, so plan accordingly.

Honestly, Churchills Tavern seems to have its ups and downs. But hey, isn’t that what adds a bit of character to a place? It’s certainly worth a look if you’re in the area!
