About

South Island visitors find Horse and Jockey, a local business at 8 Yaldhurst Road, Upper Riccarton, Christchurch 8041, Nueva Zelanda. The address places it in the Upper Riccarton suburb, west of the city centre. Queenstown, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura are the other main centres on the island.

The venue operates as a bar, and its 4.3 out of 5 rating from 148 reviews points to a busy, established local. Opening hours run from 10:00 to 21:00 on most days, to 22:00 on Wednesday and to 23:00 from Thursday to Saturday. The Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/horseandjockeyCHCH/ carries the venue's own updates. Five photos accompany the listing.

First-time visitors should expect a pub-style setting where the bar is the centre of the room. Traffic drives on the left across New Zealand, and hire cars are the usual way to travel on the larger islands. New Zealand has a temperate maritime climate, so summers are mild and winters rarely bring snow at low altitude. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country.
