🔥 PEPPERS BLUEWATER BATTLE OF THE CUISINES RETURNS🔥
…with a twist!!

Our iconic winter Buffet Nights are back… but this year, we’re turning up the heat. 👨‍🍳⚡

Introducing: Battle of the Chefs — a local culinary showdown inspired by your favourite competitive cooking shows. Think My Kitchen Rules meets community spirit, right here in Tekapo.

Every Wednesday night from 10 June – 8 July, two local chefs will go head-to-head, taking over the buffet and battling it out for the title of ultimate winter champion. 🍽️🏆

And here’s the twist…
We’re inviting LOCALS to step into the kitchen and become “Executive Chef for the Night.”
✔️ Pick your cuisine
✔️ Build your menu
✔️ Rally your supporters
✔️ Battle for the votes

With the beloved Wednesday Night Markets pausing over winter, this is our way of keeping the community tradition alive — bringing people together over great food, local talent, and a little friendly competition. ❤️

🔥 4 weeks of cook-offs
🔥 2 chefs each night
🔥 Winner announced at the FINAL showdown
