Dining Al Fresco

Good food and drink is an essential part of any life well lived. ⁠The last few months have been a tough time for hospitality so if you're in a position to support your own favourite local eatery or bar during lockdown, it's a great thing to do. 

If you want to keep things simple fish and chips really are the most obvious choice. You'll be supporting one of hundreds of small business owners all over the country and getting something that you can't make yourself at a price everyone can afford. They're also old hands at click and collect so the experience won't be diluted.

Sushi is one of those things we all crave over lockdown and there is definitely some variation when it comes to quality. Auckland private chef  Anthony Price has developed the ultimate solution with his luxury sushi and sashimi boxes. Maybe not an impulsive Tuesday night pick up on the way home from work but a great solution for that special occasion you can't have out under lockdown.

The Cazador Picnic Hamper is a culinary top-of-the-pops of the very best that they have on offer. Call by their deli in Dominion Road and you're only a short jump to one of the many volcanic cones in central Auckland. Park up and take in the sights whilst snacking on the best nitrate free charcuterie in Auckland, with some crusty Bread and their world famous baba ganoush and terrine.
