If you buy 4 meals we’ll throw in a rosemary focaccia for free, OR, if you buy 7 meals, we’ll give you an 8th meal on the house!

We'll be offering select items on our breakfast and lunch menu, as well as hot and cold drinks.

With the evenings getting cooler, we have had a number of enquiries regarding chimney cleaning during the Level 4 Covid 19 Lockdown. Fire and Emergency NZ has received an update regarding chimney sweepers being essential service for health and safety reasons.

Tradespeople:
Tradespeople can do maintenance if it is to maintain the necessities of life or critical to safety. This includes electricians, plumbers and builders.

If you have safety concerns about your fire place or chimney, contact your local chimney sweep or plumber and have a discussion with them on the way forward. They may have questions such as have you got any other form of heating? What are the symptoms/how urgent is the job?

If you have the tools and experience and are going to clean out your chimney yourself, be safe. We dont want to have to turn up to load you into an ambulance or lower you off the roof!

We’ve been privileged to help Kiwis get the essentials needed to work, study, and stay connected. It’s led to huge demand and some orders are taking longer to deliver. We’d really like to apologise to the customers who’ve experienced these delays.

To help get it sorted faster we’ve quadrupled our Customer Care team, and expanded our order fulfilment network so we can get thousands more orders delivered each day. Plus our remote Tech Solutions service will be free until May 11 to lend customers a hand with technology advice or setting up.

Thanks for your patience, everyone. We’re getting there.

Hi - I know a young French guy, who arrived before the Covid outbreak on a working holiday. He's been unable to return because of the lockdown and is getting really desperate for funds now he's stuck in NZ without any govt. assistance.

He's done some work for me and is a fantastic and smart worker who is interested in anything: labouring, supermarket stocking, etc. He's a great guy, fully fit and well, and I highly recommend him but he's stranded with no income. Just hoping someone can help him get though a very difficult time. He's valid to work till Feb 2021. Feel free to call me: 021 784557.

Thank you.
