"Visited there as a wedding venue, what a wonderful place for any function, secure courtyard area with pizza oven & access onto this area for a bar, great toilet facilities & cleaning facilities & products, + storage, the kitchen is impressive with lots of dishes & assorted glassware & the hall it'self is truly impressive also good parking & well maintained gardens. I was prepared to be unimpressed, but failed miserably."

"Food is always good quality and my order is always correct. They are super quick and give as many sauce packets requested within reason. My experience is their ice cream machine is often broken which is a bummer as I live for their hot fudge sundaes. The food court you can eat at if you choose the dine in option is pretty clean, there are lots of indoor plants and a sky huge sky light that opens up the space making it more comfortable."

"Surprisingly this is the best McDonald's in Christchurch. Maybe because the menu is limited it means there is more attention to detail. Food is always fresh and hot. The bonus of being a mall location is that they can do the full breakfast all day"

"So busy, but their system made the best of the craziness that they could. Our wait time was less than I thought it would be. Chips were hot and food was good. Would be a 5 if the server was a bit politer, but it was probably quite a stressful shift."
