If you grew up in New Zealand, you’re bound to have fond childhood memories of eating Cobb Crunchies, slurping on Pink Panthers, and racing to solve the puzzles on the back of your placemat with a little red pencil.

The best part? You can enjoy all that again – and make new memories too.

OUR MISSION IS TO MAKE EVERYONE FEEL AT HOME.

We believe everyone deserves to enjoy simple, fresh New Zealand food with family and friends. We are passionate about creating a relaxed and friendly space where everyone feels welcome.

We seek to make your dining experience easy and hassle free, so you can focus on the important part: spending quality time with your loved ones.
