Love a duck: Phat Duck
Discover where Ashburton comes to unwind.
The Phat Duck Brew Bar and Kitchen is Ashburton’s most happening hangout – a warm, welcoming space where great food, cold drinks, and good company come naturally. Whether you’re stopping in for a family meal, a casual catch-up with friends, or a refreshing beer after work, everyone’s invited to relax and feel at home.
With a restaurant at one end, a lively bar at the other, the Phat Duck has something for every mood. Dine al fresco in one of two covered outdoor areas, enjoy live music or sports on the big screen, or simply soak up the easy-going atmosphere.
Choose from two menus offering everything from hearty brunches to tasty bar bites. Owner Simran Singh is justifiably proud of the meals. “Our 500g tomahawk steaks are a particular favourite,” he says. “We have recently updated our bar menu, so it’s worth dropping by to take a look.”
With excellent service, happy hour Monday to Friday from 4pm until 6pm, free WiFi, and a children’s menu, it’s a sure win for any great get-together.
The Phat Duck also caters for private functions and special events.
Open 10am until 9pm, pop in, meet the locals, and discover a restaurant where customers become friends.
