CRAVE CHRISTCHURCH

JUNK &
It’s taken more than seven years, but Nicole
and Richard Stewart are finally opening their
eclectic store Junk & Disorderly in Christchurch.
It opens its doors today in a former commercial
glass warehouse on Sydenham’s Orbell St.
The couple opened their first flagship store in
Auckland 27 years ago. It sells anything from
old furniture to collectables and décor.
Another is based in New Plymouth.
Nicole said they had always planned on
coming to Christchurch, but the September
2010 and February 22, 2011 earthquakes put
the idea on hold.
She said they loved Christchurch and had a
large following here.
“So it’s our way of bringing just a little taste of
what we do to the south.”

Eclectic store opens in Christchurch
warehouse to repurpose it.
Nicole said its mission to put life back into
Christchurch by repurposing buildings was
something they wanted to be a part of.
“As soon as my daughter and I stepped into this
old glass factory pre-development we knew it
was the right one as it had good bones and the
same feel as our building in Auckland.”
Nicole said part of the reason Junk & Disorderly
had been around for so long was because it
did not specialise in anything, so its market was
diverse.
The Christchurch store would be “just a taste,”
being smaller and more curated, with live
music on the weekends, Nicole said.
“We also stock new items as we believe that
new and old mixed well together is the perfect
decor experience.”
Visit the pub
for a good cause
The wife might not believe you – but visiting the pub on a Saturday
afternoon can actually help local charities. Moon Under Water
has managed to raise more than
$4000 through its Saturday Karma
Kegs since it started three months
ago. Eagle Brewing NZ provides
a keg of beer. All the proceeds
from every pint of it sold at
the bar between 3pm-5pm
every Saturday, goes directly
to the chosen charity that
week. You can pay as much
as you like for your pint, as
long as it’s over $10.
What do you get when you
mix the Amazon with Italy?
Amazonita. It’s the latest bar
and restaurant on The Terrace
to start operating, opening its
doors on the weekend. Based
opposite Terrace Tavern, the
“tropically inspired” restaurant

The Terrace’s
latest restaurant

is fitted out with Amazon
style decor, with some
influence from the owners’
Italian and Mediterranean
roots. Its menu features
rotisserie meat, a wood fired
grill and other tasty looking
small dishes.
