Our new menu is finally ready to go! It’s been quite a long process to ensure we lean in to the skills of our team, add more delicious and vegetable forward dishes, inspired by coastal pacific rim dining. We’re celebrating the flavours, ingredients and cultures that connect the edges of the world’s largest ocean 🌊 including Lyall Bay 👌

We kick this off tomorrow, and really hope you all like it! Cocktail menu to match on it’s way🍹

What a day!! 🤩 Thoughts on our new paint job?! It came up a bit darker than expected 😅😬 Huge thanks to our landlord who arranged for this, especially as he’s a hospo operator himself so fully understands the current challenges.

To add to the difficulties of this time, Moa Point, economy, Wellington job cuts, we’ve also been broken into multiple times, with the cheeky @&*% #’s taking just enough to be under our insurance excess levels, that’s some impressive maths really. So if anyone sees anything suspicious please let us know, and lock up your cars/houses 🙏

Big shoutout/appreciation post for our amazing chef Eric! 👏

If you’ve been in for brunch lately, you may have noticed something, your food is arriving fast! 😅🙈 Since joining our kitchen, Eric has helped to transform our brunch service times. Because of his hard work, skills, and absolute calm under pressure, we’ve consistently kept food wait times less than half what they used to be 🙌 That might sound simple, but in busy weekends with our relatively small kitchen that takes serious talent when we get 50 hangry brunchers all walk through the door at the same time!

So this is a public thank you to Eric. We appreciate you! 🥳🤩
