A place for every occasion:
The Old Vicarage
From casual coffees to the most significant of life’s milestones – no moment is too big or small for a venue that caters to every need of its community.
The historic charm and warmth of The Old Vicarage’s beautifully restored exterior and award-winning gardens extends to the ambience within. “There’s always a familiar face, a warm greeting, and a focus on making every visit feel special,” says restaurant manager Alana Carr. “That consistency, and our attention to detail, is what builds lasting loyalty.”
With elegant private rooms available, guests return time after time to celebrate intimate birthdays, anniversaries and baby showers, to corporate meetings, community gatherings, and even weddings.

“We never take our regulars for granted, we see it as a privilege to be part of the Halswell and wider Christchurch community catering to daily routines, celebrations, and business life.”
Inside, timeless style marries modern comfort, which is backed by a passionate team who genuinely care about the guest experience. Tailored events set an equally high standard. The team takes time to understand their customer’s vision and values, from table preferences to dietary requirements, to ensure a thoughtfully planned and seamlessly executed event.
Locally owned and operated, Alana lists their core values: hospitality, consistency, quality and community. “Creating a warm and welcoming space for guests to connect over delicious food and drink is always at the heart of what we do.” The team at The Vicarage continues to improve and innovate their services as part of their ongoing dedication to serving the local and wider community. Events with elegance and a team that goes the extra mile is The Old Vicarage’s specialty. Enquire on 03 322 1224.
