The Foodland

4.8(106 reviews)

About

Found on South Island, The Foodland trades at 285 Wairakei Road, Bryndwr, Christchurch 8053, New Zealand, in the city's northern suburbs. Queenstown, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura are the other South Island centres travellers usually link with Christchurch.

As a supermarket, The Foodland covers the weekly shop for households around Bryndwr and the wider Christchurch area, with a website at thefoodland.nz for reference. A rating of 4.8 out of 5 from 106 reviews puts it among the better-regarded supermarkets in the city. Christchurch is the gateway to the South Island, so the store is convenient for anyone stocking up before heading further afield.

Traffic drives on the left across New Zealand, and hire cars are the usual way to travel on the larger islands, which makes a supermarket stop on the way out of the city practical. New Zealand cooking features lamb, dairy and seafood, including green-lipped mussels, bluff oysters and crayfish, and much of that is easy to pick up here.

English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names appear throughout the country and on road signs. New Zealand weather is changeable, and the surrounding ocean keeps both summer heat and winter frost moderate, so a layer for the wind is always worth having in the car.
