Why is beef so expensive right now? We break down the global beef shortage, rising costs, and why NZ exports are booming despite an anticipated 6% production drop. Demand’s up, supply’s tight—and your steak is feeling it.

This red wine braised beef cheek on saffron risotto dish is a beautiful marriage of rich, slow-cooked beef cheeks in a velvety red wine reduction, served atop a creamy, golden saffron risotto. It’s hearty, aromatic, and deeply satisfying.

This cut is juicy, flavourful, and best cooked with its fat cap intact for maximum richness. Paired with a velvety béarnaise sauce, peppery rocket salad, and crispy kumara fries, this dish is a celebration of contrasts: smoky and creamy, crisp and tender, rustic and refined.

There’s something undeniably satisfying about a steak sandwich. It’s rustic, indulgent, and when done right, it’s the kind of meal that makes you close your eyes with every bite. We’re elevating this classic with a juicy rump steak, caramelized onions, melty cheese, and a rich French dip au jus that takes it over the top.

This indulgent drink blends the rich, bold flavours of coffee with the smooth, spiced notes of Caribbean rum, creating a luxurious experience that’s perfect for late-night vibes or weekend celebrations.

Looking for a cocktail that’s equal parts exotic, refreshing, and bold? Meet the Jungle Bird—a vibrant blend of tropical fruit, rich spice, and a touch of bitterness that makes it unforgettable.
