Beneath open skies and among late summer blooms, join us for a special Upper Hutt Food Week dining experience shaped by the land itself. Mangaroa’s in house chef, Tijana Starling, will craft a seasonal menu that celebrates what is growing, thriving, and ready to share.
This is food with a clear sense of place. You will gather where the produce is grown, surrounded by wide rural views and the steady rhythm of a working farm. Each dish reflects the season, the soil, and the hands that have tended it.
Expect generous plates built on fresh harvest ingredients. Expect flavours that feel grounded and true.
Pull up a chair at a long shared table. Meet the growers. Taste the story of the landscape.
Settle in, pass the plates, and enjoy an evening that reconnects you with how good food begins.
