red cross fundraising

all this week we will donate ten dollars from every bowl of kedgeree we sell to the red cross appeal.

new generation of nikau workers

we had a grand old time at the city market a couple of sundays ago.
most fun was had by these two rascals who pushed us all out of the way and ran the show.
i can just see Zeb and Roses' bar and grill opening one day soon.

need a tea towel in your life?

for some reason we thought it a good idea to let you in on the kitchen secrets of our kedgeree.
with the help of Sarah Maxey again we had a lazy pipe smoking fish designed with the recipe emblazoned on it's belly.
so good were they that the small first run sold out like that and we are reprinting a second edition.
let us know if you'd like one...

nikau at the city market

We are at the city market this Sunday - Waitangi day.

If you are hankering for one of Sarah's donuts filled with custard cream or delicious Hawera plums or maybe a bacon butty with roasted corn and sage salsa you know where to find us.

More importantly though will be the release of our limited edition tea towels printed with the famous Nikau kedgeree recipe. They will be on sale at the cafe as well so you won't miss out if you don't get along this Sunday.

tangelos

we recievd our latest and last deliver of tangelos from te aranaga gardens in Whakatane this week so we will enjoy some of the following one last time until we receive next seasons crop.
- freshly squeezed for Saturday service.
- made into tangelo cordial served over ice and soda ( like big persons fanta.)
- highball, ice, tangelo and lashings of campari
- tangelo and yoghurt sorbet
- and best of all, tangelo jelly...

Sloe gin

If you know Wellington you will know there are some quite unique valleys and hillsides that encourage all sorts of growing conditions.
One of these is the up Moonshine Valley road where Wendy and Trevor live and grow a surprising array of goodies. We have made Medlar cheese from their Medlars, Damson paste, Gooseberry jam, Elderflower syrups and most recently Sloe gin from their Sloe berries.
The berries have sat in the shade for a wee while now and served with soda and lemon syrup over ice they are a real summery treat.

takeaway some maxey

Next time you buy a takeaway coffee from us you will be sipping from our newly designed cups. With the help of Sarah Maxey you can enjoy a little typographic treat in the form of 'Wakey Wakey' or 'Lucky'.
