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.
