Yellow Brick Road

Morena oyster lovers!

For those of you who have been hanging out for freshly shucked oysters, get yourself to Spruce Goose this evening for their Wellington On a Plate Night Market - 6-10pm, free entry, and LOADS of great food, wine, and music.

I'll be tag teaming with the rockstars from Tohu Wines, Kiwa Oysters and Orongo Bay Oysters.

My sister and I are on the tools, shucking up a storm!

My advice - arrive early, stay long.

See you tonight!!

PigFish has officially been put to bed for Visa Wellington on a Plate 2014.

Thank you SO much for all of your support - it was undoubtedly the wildest party we've ever thrown. Incredible patrons who got us form the get go, insanely good music, and above all, a phenomenal team who pulled it all together.

We loved every minute of it. The only question that remains is....where to pop up next?! Haha....watch this space.

Until then,
Rach, Martin, Rob and crew ###

The Whole HogBy Sofia Levin, Festival Blogger | 15 AugAs I write this first post from my dangerously comfortable bed at the InterContinental Wellington, I’m faced with a dilemma: I’ve only experienced my first Visa Wellington On a Plate event and I’m already full. In fact, I’m stuffed.I started the…

KISS DA COOK Episode 3: PAUA WONTONS

Purely in the name of market research, I have eaten an extraordinary number of paua wontons in the last few months.

There is no doubt in my mind (or on my hips dammit) that they are going to be as popular at PigFish@PreFab as they have been everywhere in the world that Fat Freddy's Drop have taken them.

Iain Gordon - aka Freddy's keyboardist aka master muttonbirder aka Kuki - and his amazing partner Ema will be cranking these babies out daily. A lot of them.

Musician by night, wonton guru by day. Check it out...

Since we're equal opportunity indulgers (did I just make that word up?! it sounds vaguely like a job title I'd like), we wanted to share our drinks with you too.

You know, so you can start the pairing thoughts - Cambridge Road bubbles when I arrive, Stewart Island Oysters with Yeastie Boys Pot Kettle Black, Kuki's Paua Wontons with Johner Pinot Gris, Crayfish Roll w Ata Rangi Chardonnay, Pigs Head w ParrotDog Dead Canary...you know the drill.

We love our bevy of bevy partners x
