EAT | DRINK | BE MERRY
The Sign of the Takahe is magnificent in all its grandeur and glamour, the location of this newly dedicated Functions & Wedding space with a welcoming casual and cozy “walk in for cabinet food” Cafe & Bar downstairs makes this unique venue one for everyone’s bucket list!
Whilst the upstairs dining restaurant has now gone, the space has now been transformed into something out of a British period movie, the Sign of the Takahe inhabits an illustrious historic castle style setting, complete with Swords & Armour, Heraldry and Coats of Arms, awe-inspiring neo-gothic, medieval and Shakespearean stonework architecture and not forgetting the best garden in Christchurch with the horizon-skimming romantic lawns to drink and be merry… It gives this venue the edge from the rest…
Shake hands and have your photo taken with the polished suit of armour (his name is Bob apparently) and seat yourself in the uber comfy garden room with amazing views of the Shakespearian garden. – ‘Epic’ is a word that springs to mind for the coffee and the cabinet treats and Uber epic for having a function or wedding here!. – First Table review.
