Country charm: Two Fat Possums
With the ski season on the horizon, make time to stop at this spot of warm and cosy country fare.
Boasting an outstanding menu of elevated pub classics, this local favourite also makes the perfect destination for diners looking for a warm and relaxing meal and a drink to savour. Merely thirty minutes drive out of Christchurch, and perfectly situated on your way to or from the slopes, is West Melton’s Two Fat Possums.
The menu includes sumptuous king salmon and blue cod dishes, as well as a slow-cooked lamb shoulder and a mouthwatering range of handcrafted, wood-fired pizzas. With the weather turning, nothing quite beats that uniquely Canterbury feeling of hunkering down somewhere warm. With the hot pizza oven gently smoking in the corner, and a steaming plate of delicious and country cuisine plated up in front of you, Two Fat Possums provides this in spades.
The function room is also available for family gatherings, or other events deserving of a warm, welcoming space that lends itself so well to recharging and reconnecting. Two Fat Possums is your perfect mid-winter gem in West Canterbury’s backyard.
