Godley Head prawn pizza with lemon at Cassels The Brewery Bar & Restaurant

Cassels The Brewery Bar & Restaurant brings the brewer's public dining room to the front of The Tannery in Woolston. The family-owned company has brewed in Christchurch since 2009, and the Garlands Road venue lets guests drink those beers where they are made. Daily service runs from breakfast into lunch and dinner, with a relaxed, family-friendly format that works for a quick pizza, a longer group catch-up or a meal built around several pours from the brewery's range.

Beyond pizza, the kitchen offers enough range for a complete pub-style meal. Beer-battered onion rings, lemon-pepper calamari, karaage chicken and beef carpaccio suit a shared opening order. Larger choices include beef, fried-chicken and vegetarian burgers, market fish coated in Cassels Woolston Pale Ale batter, white-wine mussels, smoky barbecue pork ribs and New Zealand king salmon. The brewers platter gathers cured meats, hot-smoked salmon, cheeses, hummus, olives, artichokes and pickles for a table that would rather graze.

Wood-fired pizza is the menu's most distinctive section, with many choices named after Canterbury places. Styx Mill combines mushrooms, confit garlic and ricotta, while the vegan Parklands uses pumpkin, spinach and mushroom over basil pesto. Pigeon Bay brings chicken, jalapeños and guacamole; Darfield uses brisket braised in Cassels Milk Stout. Other combinations feature chorizo and honey, coconut-creamed seafood, smoked cheese with chicken and bacon, beer-braised lamb with currants, or hot-smoked salmon with capers and dill.

The pizza format is flexible, with vegan cheese offered and gluten-friendly bases available, although everything is prepared in one kitchen. Desserts are simple and sociable: a cinnamon-sugar doughnut or sundae can be finished with chocolate, Biscoff or berry, while the cake cabinet changes by the day. Weekly offers give different evenings their own rhythm, from pizza night to a burger-and-drink pairing. Throughout, the central pleasure remains direct: wood-fired food matched with Cassels beer made on the same site.
