Golden Mile Restaurant is the casual dining side of a Templeton hospitality complex, serving motel guests, local families and people travelling between Christchurch and Rolleston. Breakfast appears on weekends, with lunch and dinner carrying the venue through the rest of the day. The mood is deliberately accessible rather than formal, and the separate children's selection makes the restaurant practical for groups whose ages and appetites do not all match.
A meal can begin simply with garlic bread or soup, or take a seafood direction through prawn twisters and shrimp cocktail. Chicken tenders provide another shareable option, while the salads are substantial enough to stand alone: sliced sirloin and crisp noodles give the Thai beef salad its weight, and the chicken Caesar combines bacon, croutons, a poached egg and parmesan over garden leaves.
The main-course section leans into generous pub and family-restaurant staples. Roast of the day comes with seasonal vegetables and gravy, bangers and mash use sausages from a Templeton butcher, and pork appears as chops, sticky ribs or crackled belly. Schnitzel can be beef or chicken, while beer-battered blue cod, creamy fettuccine and nachos ensure the choice is not organised around one style of cooking.
Burgers and steaks fill out the heartier end of the menu, from a bacon-and-egg beef burger to ribeye and a mixed grill. Weekend diners can instead start with pancakes, French toast or eggs Benedict, and lunch has its own shorter set of familiar plates. Brownie, sticky date pudding, apple pie and cheesecake carry the home-style theme into dessert, with gluten-free markers helping guests identify dishes to discuss with staff.
