Roast dinner with vegetables and gravy at No.4 Bar & Restaurant in Christchurch

No.4 Bar & Restaurant has served Merivale as a neighbourhood gastropub since 2004. Its Mansfield Avenue address gives the name a literal anchor, while a 2026 change of ownership brought a refreshed chapter without replacing the familiar No.4 identity. The venue opens every day and balances the ease of a local pub with a kitchen serious enough for a planned meal. Diners can settle in for lunch or dinner, meet over drinks, or use one of the adaptable spaces for a private gathering.

The newer food direction joins English pub traditions with New Zealand ingredients and sensibilities. A scotch egg with mustard makes a fitting small plate, while fish and chips arrives with mushy peas and tartare sauce. A wagyu and white pepper sausage is paired with horseradish mash and onion jus, giving the banger-and-mash format extra depth without losing its comforting shape. The No.4 pie follows the same spirit, served with mash, salad and gravy as a complete pub meal.

For a more elaborate main, beef Wellington brings together pastry, beef and a classic red wine jus, accompanied by gratin, carrots and broccolini. That plate shows how the menu can move from casual bar food to something suited to a longer dinner. Desserts remain generous and recognisable: chocolate fondant is lifted by cherry and mascarpone, while sticky date pudding and a fruit crumble deliver the warm, familiar finish expected from a gastropub rather than an overly formal dining room.

Beer, wine and cocktails are integral to the venue, with platters and shared food available when the visit is more social than structured. No.4 also hosts functions, offering private and semi-private areas that can be shaped around birthdays, work occasions and larger get-togethers. That versatility is the restaurant's strength: it remains approachable enough for a spontaneous drink, but the renewed menu, broad bar and event capability give diners reasons to stay for a full evening.

Address: 4 Mansfield Avenue, Merivale, Christchurch 8014, New Zealand
