C&C Chicken & Cornbread is a cafe at 615 Pages Road in Bexley, Christchurch. It opens Wednesday to Saturday from 11.30am to 3pm, holds a 4.9 rating on Google, and shares updates on its Facebook page.
A cafe that puts its signature dish in the name is usually a good bet: a short menu means each item gets cooked daily, and regulars tend to order the house speciality without much deliberation. Comfort food like this is best straight from the kitchen — chicken and cornbread both lose their appeal once they sit — so a short wait for food cooked to order is a fair trade. Lunch-only hours are typical for places like this, and popular dishes can run out before closing, so arriving early pays off.
For a mid-week or Saturday lunch on Christchurch's east side, this well-rated Pages Road cafe makes an easy destination.
