The Thomas Tripp

You'll find yourself on Wick Lane pushing through the door of a place that feels genuinely rooted in Christchurch's fabric. The Thomas Tripp isn't trying to be anything other than what it is: a proper pub where regulars have their spots and the landlord remembers your order. There's real character here—the kind you can't manufacture. It's the sort of place where you're equally likely to overhear lively post-work banter as you are to find someone nursing a quiet pint. The ratings speak for themselves, and that's because locals keep coming back.
