Summer Solstice BBQ
Celebrate the longest day of the year with a one night BBQ takeover at Balgone Estate
Mat’s cooking is guided by Māori values of manaakitanga (hospitality) and whakapapa (connection), with an approach built around live fire, fermentation, slow smoke and the quiet magic of great ingredients. You’ll taste the story of land and sea, Scotland and New Zealand, told through four courses that are generous, comforting and full of energy.
