People often ask, “Why is the deli only open 3 days a week?”
Well, this is why! 👇

There’s a whole lot that goes on behind the scenes before we open those doors.

Today was spent slicing around 50kg of bacon, preparing our brisket pastrami, and getting more meats into cure. 🥓

We make and smoke all of our own meats in-house — from ham and bacon to sausages, pastrami and everything in between.

And it doesn’t stop there. We also make all of our salads, dressings, sauces, rubs and more ourselves.

So while you might only see us open 3 days a week, there’s a lot happening behind the scenes the rest of the time!

It’s a lot of work, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. ❤️

Real food. Made from scratch. Made by us.

🥧 Pit Master Pie Selection! 🥧
Today’s selection is seriously delicious!

🥩 Brisket — so soft and tender, you can take your false teeth out to eat it! 😂

🐷 Pork — so fresh and juicy, if you put the pie next to your ear, you can still hear the oink! 🐽

🐔 Chicken — so good, you might find yourself clucking for a while after eating it! 😂

Come and get your favourite — see y’all here for Friday Pie Day! 🤠🥧

Holy smokes, the cheesesteaks went out the door today! 🔥🥪
I think we’re going to have to call it Cheesesteak Thursdays from now on! 😎

Righto, tomorrow is all about Pie Day Friday! 🥧🔥

Our Pitmaster pie selection will be ready from 10am onwards, but plenty of the other good stuff will be coming out from 7am.

And did I mention my favourite… the New York Reuben? 🤤

As one wise person once said… “Always blow on the pie first.” 😂🥧

Happy barbecuing, people! And always remember… click the tongs twice. 😉

See y’all tomorrow! 🔥

🥓 NO GREAT STORY EVER STARTED FROM EATING A SALAD. 🥓
Tomorrow starts early — 5AM for the kitchen crew, ready to get the smokers, fryers and grills firing.

We’re open from 7AM with the breakfast of champions: bacon, bacon and more bacon, plus sausage and eggs. Cereal is for the weak. 😂

From 10AM, it’s cheese steaks, our Drunken Cow beef braised in b**r, garlic and fresh herbs — and yes, there’s plenty of b**r involved. 🍺

Then there are my favourites: Reuben sandwiches, classic or New York style.

And Chef Rhys has his secret-ingredient fried chicken, with at least three more herbs and spices than the Colonel himself. 🍗

We’re only open 3 days a week because good things take time. We cure and smoke our own meats and make as much as we can ourselves.

Because shortcuts are for salads.

Come hungry. Leave with a story.

Hey everyone, I’m sorry, but this will be the last week we’ll have lamb on our deli menu for a while. Pricing has increased substantially and is now higher than what we can realistically sell it for.
It’s such a shame that, as Kiwis, we’re getting to the point where we can’t afford to have one of our own staples on the menu. We’ve also had beef prices increase this week, so unfortunately we’re seeing rising costs across the board.

We’ll keep doing our best to offer good-quality food at prices that are fair and affordable. Hopefully lamb prices come back down and we can bring it back soon.

Thank you all so much for your understanding and continued support ❤️

🔥 WHAT A DAY YESTERDAY! 🔥

You guys absolutely showed up — and it’s safe to say the brisket burgers are becoming a firm favourite. 🤤

Yesterday’s special went down a treat too, so we’re loading up and getting ready for another big day at the deli with all your favourite low & slow meats.

The cabinet is OPEN NOW, so if you’re out and about early, come grab yourself a bacon & egg muffin to kick off the day. 🥓🍳

And while you’re here, pop next door to Nitrous Coffee and grab a coffee — honestly, bacon & egg muffin + coffee is a pretty hard combo to beat. ☕️🔥

Then… there’s absolutely nothing stopping you from coming back later for your brisket burger fix. 😂

Our full menu kicks off from 10am with plenty of smoky goodness ready to go.

📍 2 Newton Street, Mt Maunganui
🥓 Cabinet open now
☕️ Coffee next door at Nitrous Coffee
