Jotter Sips and Bites

06/10/2026

🤤 EP2 of eating out

we walked in for “just a snack” and walked out with a whole menu full, like soooo FULL 😭

This place is so good omg🔥 From the tastiest chicken supreme satay straight off the wok, handmade fresh spring rolls, classic jungle curry, delicious fish amok and Cambodian beef salad. All these yummiest dishes are great for sharing (unless you don't want to 😉)

so Christchurch, this one’s for you

🤎 a little update from us 🤎

We’ve had to make the difficult decision to increase the prices of our drinks by $0.50 to $1 😢

With ingredient costs, packaging, supplier prices and overall operating costs continuing to rise, this is a change we’ve tried our best to avoid. We’ve kept our prices the same for as long as we could and we hope you understand why this small increase is necessary for us to keep doing what we love 🥹

The good news? Your favourite Jotter drinks aren’t changing. Same recipes, same quality, same love in every cup 🫶🏻

Thank you for continuing to support our little business. Every sips & bites you purchase, every order you place and every kind word you share, genuinely means so much to us!

Thank you for growing with us 🥹🙏🏻

⚠️ IMPORTANT UPDATE

We know many of you have been looking for us today and many of you have messaged us asking where we are and why we’re closed. We know it may be a little confusing especially since Fire & Feast is one of the biggest events of the year at Cathedral Square, which is also our usual daily trading spot.

Unfortunately yes, we are closed from today Friday 11th September until Monday 14th September due to the Fire & Feast organisers have hired out the whole square space for the event. This means no other traders are permitted to operate in the square during this time. They will also be packing everything down on Monday so unfortunately we won’t be able to reopen until then.

But don’t worry.. we’ll be back open from Tuesday 15th September! 🥹

Trust us, we’re just as gutted as you all are 😭 but thank you so much for your understanding & patience. We’re so sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. We’ll miss seeing you this weekend but we’ll be back with your favourite sips and bites very soon! 🫶🏻

See you Tuesday! ☺️

🫶🏻 There’s something really special about watching a little idea turn into something that people actually become part of. But honestly, behind all the pretty sips, yummy bites and cute markets/events, we still get scared.

Every morning. Every market. Every event.

There’s always that little thought of,
“What if no one shows up?”
YES! We still overthink. We still worry.
We still get nervous when we’re setting up and waiting for that first customer to walk over.

And then you do.
You show up!

You bring your friends/colleagues/families/partners,
You come back for your favourites,
You tell someone about us,
You gave us the sweetest reviews,
You helped us by liking, sharing or tagging us in your stories/posts.

To us, all these little bits mean more than you’ll ever know,
more than you probably even realise 🥹

So THANK YOU 🙏🏻
Thank you for all that you do and did,
Thank you for continuing to show up for our little cart and for letting us keep doing what we love.

Although we’re still figuring it all out and learning more as we go, we’re so so grateful you’re here for it 🥲 through all of our firsts, middles and lasts.
