Mar 3, 2020 What's On

Another week of eating. We kick off March with a couple of pop-ups, a birthday, and the Vegan Food Festival. Also, did you know Bluff oyster season is now underway?

Farm Dinners #3: Ozone

Forest ’s Kelmarna pop-ups last week had sold out way before the fact, but luckily there’s still some tickets available for the next farm dinner, this time with Grey Lynn all-dayer Ozone. For $90 a pop, you’ll be served a four-course dinner (omnivorous and vegan options available), plus a drink on arrival. Food from the farm, on the farm.
Wednesday 4 March | Kelmarna Organic Community Gardens & City Farm

Maison des Hotdog

This Thursday is your last chance to sample a good dog (or a naughty dog) at Good Dog Bad Dog’s Camper Coffee pop-up, where you can down your dog with some natural wines. Vegan-friendly option available. 5-9pm. (Their permanent spot will open in Commercial Bay soon.)
Thursday 5 March | Camper Coffee, Newmarket
