Cityscape Christmas 2019
Bring on the party, Cityscapers! Addington Cup Week kicks off the season we love to love, and we are sooo ready. We bring you all the deets on the biggest week in Christchurch’s social calendar. Important information like what the judges are looking for in The Crossing Fashion Starts Here Best Dressed Competition and stuff about the racing as well, like pointers on how to pick a winner. And thanks to Callam Mitchell and his team at Team Event, Addington Cup Week is just the start of party season. We talk to the promoter putting the icing on Christchurch’s cake this summer. Ladi6 is just one of the fantastic artists he is bringing to town, and we check in with her as well (that’s her gorgeous self on the cover). The days are counting down to Christmas and with that comes the fun and the challenge of finding the perfect gift for all those on your ‘Nice’ list. We live to serve here at Cityscape, and so we have served up a curated Christmas gift guide brimming with ideas fresh and failsafe. Nailing that pressy list is the best reason possible for heading to the central city and exploring its retail hotspots, followed by a drink and some nibbles, of course. We shine our spotlight on what’s new in the inner city, from retail meccas to the hottest hospo hangouts. And if 2020 is looking like the year to put a ring on it, check out our feature on the amazingly creative community of jewellers we have in this city. As always, we also bring you what’s hot in cuisine, events, home and couture.

Shoulders above the rest
In a world of complex menus, degustations and
cross-cultural cuisine, Pedro’s House of Lamb has
kept it simple. Pedro’s serves just one dish – a
beautiful slow-cooked lamb shoulder so tender the
meat falls off the bone, served with a side of
scalloped potatoes and salad. That’s it. Pedro’s
cooks its lamb in the Mediterranean style – with
rosemary and garlic, and slowly roasted for six
hours with Spanish olive oil. That’s how it gets to be
so tender. That and the delicious flavours are what
keep loyal customers coming back for more.
From its small beginnings in a container in Merivale
to four outlets across the country, Pedro’s House of
Lamb has established itself as one of this country’s
best lamb culinary experiences. You can enjoy the
very best New Zealand lamb from either of Pedro’s
two Christchurch locations – the original Merivale
container store or its newest store, which is in
Sydenham. The latter has seating for those who
can’t wait till they get home before sampling the
delicious wares.

CATERING
GELATO TO GO
Want Rollickin Gelato at your home, workplace or
event? These guys sent a chilly bin of goodness to
Scott Base so they know all about gelato to go and can
cater for groups large or small. For really big events,
there’s Rollickin’s original red horse float cart. Next
down is its vintage cart, which is ideal for weddings,
birthdays and similar-sized events. If it’s a party or
work do for 20 to 30 people there’s the Funk Truck,
which has two flavours. Smallest is an Uber Eats party
tub, still with two flavours, hand-packed to order.

RESTAURANT
NEW HANGOUT
Sam and Sally Hooper, the awesome duo behind
Cityscape fave Sister Kong, have joined forces with
former All Black Andy Ellis to bring Bar Yoku to life.
After eight years living in Japan, Andy knows what
good Yakitori (the hero of the menu) tastes like.
Located in the hip new hangout The Welder, this
Japanese restaurant is bringing some big flavour to
town and is a super-cool place to pull up a pew and
kick back in the laxed atmosphere.
