Dinner dollar - Minx Dining Room and Bar
Serving up meals to the liking of all guests is all in a day's work in the new million dollar Minx dining room and bar and Rootes Bar in Lichfield Street, Christchurch.

The interior styling at Minx is distinctive, with a large open plan kitchen allowing customers to sit at a bar and literally talk to the chefs while they are cooking. A dismantled Hillman Minx car hangs on the wall, framed in the same way you would buy a toy model car. The décor is 50s and 60s kitsch style - red leather, dark wood and etched mirrors.

To make way for the new dining and imbibing experience the existing building interior was gutted and rebuilt and minor alterations were made to the exterior. The new paperfaced plasterboard and timber are coated in Resene Half Vienna (soft cream) with feature walls in Resene Roadster (bright red) and a steely entrance in Resene Diesel (red black) and Resene Silver Aluminium (silver metallic) to set the scene as soon as you walk over the doorstep.

Serving up a daily changing menu described as honest cuisine, guests will need to be on their toes to sample all the dishes.
