Pop-up pizza place Arbour Bar to open permanently in Lyttelton
A 120-year-old fishing boat will form the bar in a new restaurant opening in Lyttelton next month.
The owners are also raising their own pigs and will cure their meat for the menu.
Arbour Bar became popular with Lyttelton locals in post-earthquake Christchurch as a quirky pizza pop-up that surfaced on warm days during summer.
After a three-year hiatus, it is returning as one of the first fully commercial builds in Lyttelton since the quakes. The building includes a completely clear roof and unique plant design as its arborist owners aim to make it feel like a giant glasshouse.
Lyttelton couple Megan and Ra Hancox-Hammer are behind the restaurant with help from Ra’s brother, Mario Fichtner.
The trio hope to open in mid-December after the build, which started at the end of last year, was delayed by Covid-19 and then hampered by heavy rain.
Latest scams to look out for 👀
Neighbourly hopes to keep you safe by keeping you informed of the latest scams circulating. This week, we are sharing two common text message scams:
NZTA / Waka Kotahi scam:
- The scam is a text message saying it's from New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, and it encourages the recipient to pay an overdue road toll by visiting a fake website, threatening to take the matter to court within 15 days if they don’t pay up.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- While it is not the first time toll payments have been utilised by scammers, the threat of court action could see more people fall victim.
- The sender will either be a unknown phone number or unknown email address.

NZ Post scam:
- This scam arrives by test message and says it's from NZ Post.
- The premise is that delivery of your parcel was unsuccessful so in order to rearrange delivery. you must click on a link to give your correct address.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- NZ Post advises people not to click the link, but to report the message to the Department of Internal Affairs by forwarding it to 7726.
