FAQ
Questions we hear at the counter
From sourdough to seating — here's what Sydenham locals ask us most.
What are your opening hours?
We're open Monday to Friday, 7am to 3pm, and weekends 8am to 3pm. Come early for the best pick of the cabinet.
Where are you located?
We're on Colombo Street, Sydenham, Christchurch — easy to find and easy to park near.
Do I need to book a table?
Walk-ins are welcome, but booking ahead means your table's ready when you are, especially on weekends.
Is your sourdough really baked on site?
Yes — we bake it fresh every morning in our own kitchen, so what you taste is straight out of our oven.
Do you have vegan or gluten-free options?
Yes, we keep vegan and gluten-free options across the brunch menu and cabinet every day.
What's on the all-day brunch menu?
Brunch runs all day, every day we're open — think the Fern breakfast ($24) and smashed peas on sourdough ($19), alongside daily cabinet food.
Do you cater for office meetings or events?
We cater across Christchurch — get in touch and we'll put together something for your office or event.
Can I book Little Fern for a group or function?
Yes, we host groups and small functions — see our functions page or give us a call to talk through numbers.
