    It's like a sports bar/bistro where you can have nice dinner kinda food with your family or just alone or with your mates having a couple of drinks watching a rugby match. We had the pork belly sides and the aged steak which was ok. But the cider I had was delicious!

    Beautiful homey food that warms you right up. Underrated place and highly recommend a visit. They also have daily specials for food and drink so watch out for those deals!

    Fantastic local restaurant with friendly service and a great atmosphere. Our meals were delicious and generous in serving size therefore great value for money. The fish and chips were crunchy with a lovely side salad; the Flaming Rabbit Burger was super tasty; and the smokey ribs were falling off the bone and packed with flavour. Highly recommend!

    Just absolutely loved this place will be back next time I'm in ChCh. Chicken liver pate was the best I've had.

    Highly recommend if you are staying in Lincoln. The dry aged bone in ribeye was amazing for the price. The service was great, as was the atmosphere.

    Great place to eat! Customer service from the lady waiter on Saturday was 10/10. Glad we could have our dog with us too on such a hot day it was. Will definitely be back.

    Very accommodating. We booked initially for 15 for lunch, we called a couple of hours ahead to up it to close to 30. The food took a while to come out but we really appreciate that with we bought a big crowd in. We are REALLY appreciative that the staff were constantly coming up and asking if we want more drinks, hardly anywhere actually does that anymore! The food was bang on! Absolutely amazing. Perfect 10 from us all.

    This was our first visit to The Flaming Rabbit and will definately be returning. We found the service exceptional and such a great menu selection. I had the roast pork which was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    The meat is good! I had beef sausages, nice flavour and perfectly cooked. I will be coming back to try more aged beef. Relaxed staff with attentive service.

    Fabulous food & service as usual, we did a last minute booking with family staying, one of which had the seniors meal & all meals were as expected - delicious❣️

    Cocktails were really great and very tasty, decent size as well. I ordered the Thai beef salad, a bit expensive I found for what it is... the dressing was over powering & lettuce needed to be cut up smaller. Overall ok - will deff go for drinks but over priced for food.

    I'll start with the positives. The seat was reasonably comfy, the waitress polite and the ice in the water was a nice touch. Other than that there is not much to compliment. After a long wait to order I chose the roast pork accompanied by crackling, duck fat potatoes; roast carrots, pumpkin and parsnips; peas, apple puree and gravy. The centre piece of the meal, the roast pork, was acceptable, nothing special but definitely not the worst part of the dish. The crackling was somehow soggy and tooth-breaking hard at the same time. What really disappointed me was the roast vegetables. The duck fat potatoes were what I was most excited for but I was severely underwhelmed. Describing these monstrosities as 'roast' is disrespectful, they were closer to boiled potatoes soaked in oil. The rest of the roast vegetables were similarly underwhelming, the carrots had less flavour than cardboard straight out of recycling, the pumpkin tasted like flavoured water and the parsnips were indistinguishable from the potatoes. The peas were shriveled and were merely a plate filler to a disappointing meal. The apple puree was reminiscent of baby food and looked like it had been poured straight out of the bottle. The gravy was again nothing special, all right but not anything to talk about. If I had ordered this meal from a dusty pub, I wouldn't be feeling so hard done by. However, I payed $30 in what was supposed to be an upmarket eatery. I would have been better off going to Lincoln Uni for a free meal. The highlight of the night was watching the Australian Open. Unfortunately there's no zero star option so I'll have to settle for one star. Thanks for wasting your ingredients on me but I won't be returning. (In a party of 15 no one else had complaints about their food but this review is not about them).

    Food was enjoyed by all 4 diners, especially the pie, steak and pasta. Waiting staff were friendly and helpful, if a little bit rushed off their feet. The atmosphere was cosy, but two of the group wore hearing aids and found it a bit noisy. But it was a busy night, so one would expect that. All in all a very good experience. We will be back. Thanks.
