The Lyttelton Arms — Restaurant in Banks Peninsula Community

Walked in to have lunch as a family of 4 wasn’t noticed enough for the lady to even want to say hello or ask if we needed a hand or a table stood at the bar for a while was told I’ll be back soon come past us twice with still no sign of service ended up taking our money elsewhere considering the place wasn’t busy at all I would expect better customer service considering I’m a duty manager in a bar myself I could never treat a paying customer with so little attention or care to not be bothered to serve customers and happy walk away from people...

A group of about 12 of us went here for a quick dinner one night. The staff were fantastic, and really went out of their way to look after us. They moved some heavy furniture around so that we could all sit together, and they were pretty quick serving us all. The food was great too. Most of all they were such happy and positive people. We really enjoyed our relatively quick visit here. So much so that I'm looked forward to an opportunity to return to Littleton to eat...

5 stars for several reasons. Firstly the service, one barmaid on her own on a busy Saturday night, despite this she managed to make us feel like we were the only customers there. Secondly, the ambience of that lovely deck looking out over the wharf. Thirdly, the food was fantastic pub grub made and presented so well. Finally, the real reason for the score, our overall great experience was totally unexpected when we initially walked through the door. Well done...
