A room ready to recognise great mahi.

Public Trust Hall set for an awards dinner, bringing people together to celebrate the achievements of their colleagues and communities.

Always a privilege for our team to help create the setting for these moments.

Planning your next awards evening? We’d love to kōrero.

A little refresh for one of the bars at Harbourside ahead of the busy season! Big mihi to our boys doing what they do best, with Hawaiki clearly doing the hard yards 😂

Making mahi a little easier for our kaimahi and making the bar even better for our manuhiri to enjoy.

You’ll have to book a function to see the upgrades! 👀 Nau mai, haere mai!

Manaakitanga is at the heart of how we welcome and care for people. For our kitchen team, that care goes into every plate our kaitunu prepare and the way we look after one another.

We’re looking for a Sous Chef who shares that care for kai and people to join our Black & Gold whānau.

He aha te mea nui o te ao?
He tangata, he tangata, he tangata.

What is the most important thing in the world?
It is people, it is people, it is people.

Manaakitanga / Hospitality is something you should feel from the moment you walk through our doors.

It’s in the warmth of our spaces, the manaaki shown by our team, the familiar sounds of Aotearoa playing in the background and the smell of kai reka coming from the kitchen. That same care goes into every plate our kaitunu prepare and every detail we take care of, so our guests can simply enjoy being together.

At the heart of it all are the people we work alongside and the people we have the privilege of looking after.

He aha te mea nui o te ao?
He tangata, he tangata, he tangata.

What is the most important thing in the world?
It is people, it is people, it is people.

A little behind the scenes with our kaitunu, Harry Tahana, showing SBS Food how we use kawakawa in our lamb dish.

Proud to see Harry and his kōrero featured in The one ingredient Māori chefs swear by.

A closer look at the kai from Saturday night’s awards dinner at Public Trust Hall.

While Jess kept everything moving front of house, our kitchen team was behind the scenes plating each course and bringing the evening’s menu to life.

Beautiful food, a smooth service and plenty of teamwork across the venue. Ka mau te wehi, team 🖤
