We’re looking for a Senior Chef de Partie

We’re growing our kitchen team at Brewed As in Mangawhai Heads and looking for an experienced CDP who’s confident running a section, organised through a busy service and happy taking some responsibility within the kitchen.

Our food is seasonal, produce-driven and heavily influenced by Asian flavours. We’re a small, supportive crew with good systems, high standards and a kitchen where everyone pitches in.

What you need to know:
• Senior Chef de Partie
• 30+ guaranteed hours
• Mix of day & evening services
• Regular weekend availability essential
• Minimum 2 years’ proven CDP experience

If you’re looking for a kitchen where standards matter, people matter, and everyone pitches in, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply through SEEK, or feel free to get in touch and introduce yourself.

We've been talking about doing this for a while…

With spring just around the corner, it feels like a pretty good time to get the decks out and add some tunes to Saturday afternoons in the courtyard.

So we're giving it a go.

Starting this Saturday, we'll have music playing from 12–2.30pm, right through that nice part of the day when breakfast has turned into lunch and staying for another drink seems like a good idea.

Nothing fancy, nothing ticketed. Just good tunes in the courtyard alongside the usual Brewed As Saturday.

Hopefully some sunshine too.

Every Saturday | 12–2.30pm

LOCAL TOMATO GROWERS
WE’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU

We’re working on our summer menus at Brewed As, and this season we’d love to source more of our tomatoes from growers right here in our community.

We’re looking for a good mix, cherry tomatoes, heirlooms, beefsteaks, Roma, colourful varieties, and those weird and wonderful tomatoes you don’t often find in the shops.

Whether you’re a local grower producing commercially, or you’ve got a seriously productive patch and think you might have enough to supply us through summer, we’d love to have a chat.

If that sounds like you, or you know someone locally who grows amazing tomatoes, send us a message or tag them below.
Or reach us via email [email protected]

We would love to hear from you

One last night for these guys

Tonight is the last night of our pork ribs, which also means our Wednesday & Thursday 2-for-1 pork ribs are wrapping up for the winter season.

But do not fear… ribs are here to stay.

We’re just making way for a firm Brewed As favourite.

From Wednesday next week, the LAMB RIBS ARE BACK

Sticky lamb ribs with kawakawa salsa verde, house sweet soy & Asian herbs.

So, one last pork ribs tonight… then we hand the baton over to the lamb.

Which gets your vote.. pork or lamb?

Making this one again brought back a lot of memories.

Back in the early days of Brewed As, once the café doors were closed and everything went quiet, I'd quite often stay on in the kitchen making slices for the cabinet. Although “quiet” probably isn't quite right… there was always some good tunes blasting.

Just me, some tunes, and a kitchen to myself. I actually really loved that part of those early years.

So it was pretty nostalgic getting back in there and making this one again.

Salted Almond Caramel Brownie, an old Brewed As favourite, making a little return to the cabinet.

It's only a one-off batch this time, so when it's gone, it's gone.

Until next time 🤎

BEHIND THE BAR
Peach & Passionfruit Martini

Peachy, punchy & pouring for just one more week.

Passionfruit liqueur, peach liqueur, Stoli vodka, lime & a touch of sugar syrup. Shaken, chilled and very easy drinking.

We’ve been having a bit of fun behind the bar lately, trying out a new special every couple of weeks, with the most favoured cocktails hitting our summer drinks menu coming end of Septmeber.

So, what would you like to see us shake up next? Or is there something you reckon deserves a spot on our next bar menu?

We’re all ears

One of our evening favourites has made its way onto the daytime menu

CHARGRILLED PRAWN SKEWERS
fried furikake sourdough pillows, pea shoots & saffron lemon aioli.

If you’ve had them at night, you’ll know why we wanted them available during the day too.

It’s definitely a night for something warm.

Our Haku kingfish Penang curry has been a signature on the evening menu for good reason, the bánh xèo Vietnamese pancake tacos are still hanging around, and tonight our gochujang pork ribs are still 2 for 1.

Happy Hour is running all night too, alongside a peach & passionfruit martini bar special.

Come in, get cosy and let us look after you, or if the couch is looking particularly inviting tonight, we get it. Anything from the kitchen can be ordered takeaway.

Evenings from 5.30pm.

Last week we shared Britta Conrad's beautiful harakeke raranga, which found its forever home over the weekend. This week we're celebrating another of her talents.

As the baker behind Cottage Cakery, Britta brings us a fresh selection of gluten-free cakes, slices and fruit crumbles every week.

One of the things we really appreciate about her baking is the balance. They're sweet, but never overly sweet. The flavours are allowed to shine, making them just as enjoyable with a coffee or as they are on their own.

That's why we're always excited to see what she brings through each week.
