Eat and eat and eat: win a voucher for the Occidental

welly on a plate

Con­grat­u­la­tions to Richard who you will find hid­ing away at Munchen Burg­er get­ting his borsct on. This week we’ve got our last prize to give away, thanks to cel­e­brate Welling­ton on a Plate, thanks to the love­ly Pos­i­tive­ly Welling­ton Tourism, we have a $100 vouch­er to The Occi­den­tal to give away.

Pub­lic ser­vants and oth­er Moleswor­thites are prob­a­bly well aware of the Occi already, as it’s the first water­ing hole on Lambton. As well as being a Mon­tei­ths pub, it also serves a vari­ety of food, includ­ing build-your-own break­fasts on the week­ends, and this offer for Welling­ton on a Plate:

Lunch Offer – $25 set menu
Choose any two cours­es plus a glass of Welling­ton region­al wine, and a cup of tea or cof­fee.

Starter
Fresh hot loaf smoothed in gar­lic and pars­ley but­ter
or
Soup of the Day with toast­ed Tus­can bread

Mains
Ten­der chick­en strips pan fried with mush­rooms, onion, toma­toes, white wine cream on sald greens
or
Coconut chilli corian­der lak­sa with mus­sels, egg noo­dles and juli­enne veg­eta­bles

Welling­ton region­al wine

So, if you want to win this vouch­er, all you have to do is leave us a com­ment before next Wednes­day 5pm let­ting us know what you’d like to see more of (or less) on our site — but you’ll get no points for com­plain­ing about our recent out­ages. We know, and we’re sor­ry. A win­ner will be cho­sen at ran­dom, as per usu­al. Thanks again to Pos­i­tive­ly Tourism for all the great prizes, and let the eat­ing begin!

  1. I’d love more pho­tos of the venues that you review, of the authors out at the venues, and of gen­er­al hilar­i­ty and mer­ri­ment.

  2. I basi­cal­ly like the site (and I read through RSS so the blue does­n’t both­er me!) but I guess I’d like more point­ers to upcom­ing events, with per­haps a bit more notice.

    Keep it up!

  3. Love the site, but you could get MORE AGGRESSIVELY polit­i­cal!

    We have a may­oral elec­tion com­ing up and the lead can­di­date has been build­ing the city into bank­rupt­cy but can’t spare any dosh for Cuba Street car­ni­val!

  5. Once the site starts mak­ing so much mon­ey that the dozen or so of us Welling­ton­istas don’t need day jobs — well then, look out!

  7. Snip­pets from the Funer­als & Snakes movie reviews would be nice again.
    Just sayin’…

    Also, total­ly agree about more food stuff. That Baby­lon review was scorch­ing hot!

  12. Would like to see the abil­i­ty to export a cal­en­dar appoint­ment to Google Cal­en­dar or Out­look so I can quick­ly add events. Or pro­vide a shared Google Cal­en­dar that can be accessed. Oth­er­wise all pret­ty good!
