CBK Craft Bar & Kitchen Kaiapoi
CBK is your local in Kaiapoi & North Canterbury for Great Food & Service. Warm & cosy, the perfect place to enjoy with friends & family. Have you tried the CBK Famous Skillet Cookie? Functions Any Style & Any Size. Kiwis have always been great hosts, and it’s a tradition we at Craft Bar & Kitchen are determined to keep alive. We take our cue from the famous old Kiwi farmhouse roasts, the respectful treatment of perfect cuts picked up from the butcher, and the lavish desserts Nana always turned out for guests.
Times have changed, but our attitude to hospitality is the same as our forebears. We’re a friendly bunch at CBK and we make it our business to ensure every guest feels welcome. Then we feed them excellent freshly-cooked tucker and offer the absolute best in local refreshments. Friendliness is our finest recipe.
