Saltwood — BBQ, seafood, and bar restaurant in Ferrymead, Christchurch, on the estuary.

“From start to finish, everything was great. They let us know the food might take a little while — and it was absolutely worth the wait. I shared more detail in my Mai Vlog on Facebook about every dish we ordered. I highly recommend Saltwood and will definitely be coming back again soon.”

“First visit tonight. The meat was a touch dry for my taste, but the platter offers a great selection of cuts. The seafood platter was quite good too — I prefer bolder seasoning, so added a pinch of salt. Overall a solid meal. The staff were very friendly and attentive throughout the evening.”

“We went for Mother's Day and absolutely loved it. Service was perfect and the food even more outstanding — I rarely leave reviews, but this new restaurant definitely deserves one. A stunning spot beside the beach to relax over a delicious meal, with convenient free parking right nearby.”

“My first visit to Saltwood was incredible. The prawns were outstanding and the steaks cooked to perfection — flavours you simply cannot recreate at home. The Queen Peach Mojito is an absolute must-try. Highly recommend — thank you so much to the wonderful team at Saltwood!”

“Saltwood is a lovely spot. The seafood was particularly delicious and we loved the cocktails. As a party of four, we demolished both platters — the brisket was amazing, ribs fantastic and not too sweet. Salmon and squid were highlights. The team made our birthday dinner feel truly special.”

“Just home from a Mother's Day dinner and so satisfied. Awesome staff — flexible, attentive, and on the ball. The food was insane, honestly so good. Quick service throughout the evening and a really welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back to Saltwood again very soon.”
