Happy birthday to The Exchange Timaru and congratulations to two lucky winners.

Congratulations to our two lucky winners of the District Bar & Kitchen birthday celebration vouchers!

If you haven’t popped in to try them yet, you’re truly missing out. Go treat yourself and support one of our fantastic new favourites.

Nothing beats being part of something.

New name, new team, new menu. The foot traffic has not been what we pictured, and there is no point pretending otherwise.

But every service where the room fills up, where we watch you settle in with your favourite people and lose track of the time, is the reason we keep going.

Being part of something goes both ways. The Exchange has been the heart of the CBD for a year now, and we are marking the anniversary alongside them. Two $100 vouchers for District are up for grabs.

To enter, head to The exchange Timaru and follow their instructions. Drawn Wednesday 5 August.

This is the crew.

Prabh has come on board as manager and part owner, and he will greet you with the warmest welcome.

James is our front of house superstar and is usually the first face you see.

Tej leads the kitchen and knows the whisky list better than anyone.

Sam steps in when we need her.

Say hello when you are in.
