The Duke of Wellington, Christchurch

I visited this pub after staying in a local B&B on a business meeting; I was quite surprised that you had to pay an entrance fee to get into this pub in such a sleepy quiet town. I thought I'd give it a go.

I stayed for a while since I had to pay to have a drink, and the place did get quite busy, although it must have been just locals who had nowhere else to go at 11. The atmosphere completely changed and I felt very uncomfortable with the rowdy locals. Not long after I witnessed two fights. I left soon after.

I'm not sure what this place is like during the day, the menu does look nice, although didn�t get to try anything, would definitely not recommend going here for a quiet drink though.
