Week beginning February 2nd - Waitangi Day

Tēnā koutou (a maori greeting for 3 or more people)

This Friday is Waitangi Day, you could say this is national New Zealand day. Waitangi day commemorates the signing of New Zealand's most important document Te Tiriti o Waitangi, The Treaty of Waitangi. In 1840 representatives of the British Crown and over 500 Māori chiefs signed what is often considered to be New Zealand’s founding document. The British Crown exchanged musket guns for Maori land. In the last 45 years this exchange has been seen as exploitation with local tribes and recently the government has been handing land back to the Maori people.

To mark the 175th anniversary of The Treaty of Waitangi we have come up with a New Zealand themed menu. Most notable is this weeks soup of Puha and pork, a traditional Maori broth made with pork and puha which is known as the edible weed Sow Thistle in the Untied Kingdom. Sow thistle has a cabbage and globe artichoke flavour, ideal for soups and pairing with pork. 

We'll also be bringing back New Zealand's famous Afgan biscuits and on Friday be serving mini pavlova's with whipped cream, fresh strawberries and kiwi.
