Pests, Plants and Poisons

Four of Wellington’s top chefs combine for this magical, one-off event at Zealandia: a multi-course degustation that explores an array of tasty wild foods and plants.

For good measure, we’ve added in three complementary plant-based cocktail tasters for you to try, made of grain-alcohol* infused with foraged flavours.

Live music by Dayle Jellyman and Co.

Many people are starting to rethink the consumption of mass-produced food and its effect on the environment. Wild, foraged pest food tastes great, and their removal serves the added purpose of rebalancing the ecosystem in favour of New Zealand's wonderful endemic species.

* non-alcoholic option available.

The images used above were created by the chefs working on this event, but different food will be served on the night.
