Porirua serving up a month of Whittaker’s chocolate delights
ChoctoberFest is coming to Porirua – the home of Whittaker’s chocolate.
Porirua City Council has created ChoctoberFest as a way to showcase the city’s fantastic hospitality businesses, while celebrating the much-loved Whittaker’s brand, made right here in Porirua.
For the whole month, 15 Porirua cafés will be serving up unique chocolate drinks, vying for the title of Top of the Chocs, and from 8–16 October, 11 Porirua cafés will offer delicious baked treats as part of the Whittaker’s Bake Off.
Visit poriruacity.govt.nz/choctoberfest to see everything that’s on offer and once you’ve tried them, rate your favourites.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
