The New Turf

The most up-to-date bar facilities north of Christ- church in the South Island. This is the claim of Brian 0' Connor, mine host of the Turf Hotel, Stoke, when asked to give us a few particulars about the big extension to his hotel. The lounge bar (below) and patio seat 300 patrons and when tables and chairs become available, the back lawn will be used to seat another 300. Over the holiday period, however, the new bars catered for up to 800 in an hour. These patrons helped pay some of the £16,500 the extensions cost.
