Ten27: Family-Owned Eatery and Bar in Ferrymead, Christchurch

Set in the heart of Ferrymead, Ten27 is a family-owned eatery, coffee shop and bar run by the Turnbull family, offering upmarket brunch and lunch food alongside craft beers, New Zealand wines and live music. It's the kind of place designed to work for a quick coffee on the way through as much as a long, relaxed weekend brunch or an evening drink with friends.

A Seasonal, Local Kitchen

The menu is curated by the Ten27 chefs and changes with the seasons, built around local produce and daily fresh bread baked in the venue's own kitchen. The commitment to quality ingredients extends to the basics — the bacon is free farmed and the eggs are free range — small details that show up across dishes like the Ten 27 Breakfast and the Ten 27 Eggs Benedict.

The Menu

Brunch runs from granola and a lemon ricotta pancake stack through to heartier plates like the Ten27 Burger, made with 100% NZ beef, and a Karaage Chicken Burger with sesame slaw and kewpie mayo. Savoury options include a skillet of house made tomato shakshuka baked eggs, a corned beef hash with gremolata and fried egg, and beer battered fish and chips. For something lighter, there's avocado on toast with crispy chickpeas and za'atar, or a roasted warm vegetable salad with basil pesto and feta. A soup of the day rotates on the blackboard, and fries come with aioli and tomato sauce on the side.

Coffee, Wine and Drinks

Ten27 serves L'Affare coffee and runs a loyalty programme, giving customers a free hot drink for every ten purchased — regulars can also skip the queue by texting their order ahead. Beyond coffee, the drinks list extends to New Zealand wines and craft beers, giving the space a dual identity as both a daytime café and an evening bar.

The Space

Designed by Greg Young, the building has a stylish, airy interior with capacity for up to 100 people, making it suitable for everything from a casual coffee to a full function. Outside, there are two courtyards — one dog-friendly for those bringing their pets along, and another featuring an outdoor fireplace for cooler days and evenings. Ten27 shares its building with furniture and homewares store Casual & Country, adding another reason to spend time in the space beyond the menu itself.

Events and Venue Hire

Ten27 also caters to private events, offering the use of part or all of the venue for birthdays, work parties, corporate meals, engagement parties and weddings, with the team able to take care of the details. Bookings are recommended for meals, and larger group bookings or same-day reservations are best made by phone.
