TableTalks

On Monday we had the pleasure of attending the opening of our beautiful new .

A spectacular show produced by & the opportunity to see the hospo venues pumping with the theatre going crowds.

I think we can all agree - that this is now an awesome draw card for our region & stunning location for live shows to grace our shores.

We are so proud to be a part of Hamilton’s history with Craig working for several years to find the right hospitality operator for these venues.
After successfully securing Overproof to open 5 sites within the building it has been really cool to watch the boys & their teams develop the spaces and bring fresh new concepts into the Hamilton Hospo scene (& the refresh of an old fav).

We also want to acknowledge the huge investment of time and money that Leonard Gardner & the directors have put into this project. Alongside key benefactors, Fosters have kept this ship on course and the Waikato will benefit for years to come because of their commitment.

Get out and buy tickets to shows,
Dine & drink at the outstanding hospo offerings and support this amazing space..
We are so lucky to have this in our CBD!

If you haven’t been to the in awhile you really need to go check it out. The gardens themselves have been beautiful for years and now the facilities & visitor experience match this.

We’re currently working with council to redevelop the hospitality offering within the gardens & we’re excited.
This is an awesome tourist attraction for Hamilton and the hospo refresh will cement it as a must do in the region!

Last month we had the highly anticipated opening of Reggie’s in Hamilton.

The Underproof group (aka the legends behind Wonderhorse, Mr Pickles, Last Place Bar, and Everyday) have delivered once again.

These boys know how to do hospo right with Reggie’s really hitting the spot on the Hamilton scene. An Italian restaurant with the perfect vibe - “chill enough for kids, nice enough for your hot date”

It’s the latest addition to the superb Made precinct, sitting up in their rooftop spot with views over the river & city.

If you haven’t been yet, book a table, grab a drink, and enjoy their delicious menu!

Last night we had such a goooooood meal! So good that I forgot to take any photos..

Delicious food, ambience 10/10, service was excellent and decor really hit the spot.

Back into the flow of things for 2024.

We’re working on something exciting with our client for her group of cafes - watch this space for updates!

With spring in full swing you should now have your summer menu sorted!

Menu planning shouldn’t be reactive,
it should be structured and planned well in advance.

Using seasonal produce & engaging key food suppliers to ensure great margins.

You’ll have your crowd favorites, some fresh new season items and one or two “hero dishes” that set you apart from the rest.

Menu planning & implementation is something we regularly work on with our clients. We also enjoy the research that goes into menu development 😉
