Sprig + Fern Merivale

Welcome to Sprig Fern Merivale, located in the charming neighborhood of Christchurch, New Zealand. Our institution is a bar, establishment, and point of interest that exudes the timeless appeal of the early Merivale estates combined with the classic Sprig Fern ambiance.

At Sprig Fern Merivale, we take pride in offering a warm and inviting atmosphere that caters to everyone. Our tavern boasts excellent facilities and areas to meet your every need. During the summer months, you can soak up the sun on our two spacious decks, while in winter, our tavern becomes a cozy sanctuary from the cold. Inside, you'll find a variety of seating options, including comfortable booths, bar leaners, and intimate corners like our sunroom and library.

We are delighted to be a dog-friendly establishment, both indoors and outdoors, as long as our furry guests are well-behaved and leashed. And don't worry, we haven't forgotten about the little ones – we offer a range of board games suitable for kids and those young at heart. Our menu also caters to both dogs and kids, with treats for the fur babies and delicious meals and desserts for the children.

For the adults, we have a unique menu that combines local pub favorites with new and exciting dishes crafted by our talented Head Chef. Of course, we also offer the full range of Sprig Fern's craft beer and cider on tap, along with a rotating selection of limited release beers. Our extensive drink options include a wide variety of local and international wines and spirits, including an excellent assortment of gins. You can even take our tap beers and meals away! Don't forget to sign up as a member to earn points on your purchases and receive specials on Members Night.

When it comes to entertainment, stay updated with our events on Facebook and Instagram. We host popular Quiz Nights fortnightly on Tuesdays, a monthly Comedy Club, and every Sunday is Football Shirt Sunday. Throughout the year, we also organize events such as Dog Day Out, Gin Tasting, Relive Live, and more. Additionally, we can cater for functions of all sizes, so please inquire at the Tavern, give us a call, or get in touch via the form on our website.
