We don’t just serve nachos—we bless them. You just found your new addiction.

Nachos with attitude, toppings with no chill
Come hungry, leave smug.

Our first reveal is … We are teaming up with Pete's Natural who have created a range of beautiful, lighlty sparkling natural sodas. Made from real ingredients and fruit grown here in Aotearoa and minus all the artificial crap and sugars you find in imported fizzies. It’s kiwi from orchard to bottle!
