Our patties are a 100% pure NZ beef, nothing added to it and our chicken is antibiotics free. We only ever use free-range meat (beef, pork, chicken) and the eggs we use in our homemade mayo & homemade aioli are also free-range. It is more expensive to buy free-range goods but we believe it is better for everyone ! All the cheesy burgers on our menu include 3 different types of cheeses instead of a tiny slice of cheddar… just because cheese is soooo good ! We use a sweet bun that we toast before assembling your burgers. We also offer a wide range of drinks from mineral water and fruity kombucha to imported specialty soft drinks. The Machup Burger food truck originated in Papamoa Beach in 2018 and attends local markets, events and festivals in the Bay Of Plenty, NZ.

Little Creatures was originally brewed in Australia in 2000 by a bunch of mates who loved hoppy pale ales, so decided to brew one themselves. A huge shed (and former crocodile farm) on the water’s edge in Freemantle was to become the home of this beer and the birthplace of Little Creatures Brewing Co.

Read more about Little Creature

It has since grown to the most successful craft brewery in Australia and is now brewed in Melbourne, Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand,  San Francisco and London. Little Creatures gets its name from the live yeast cultures present in the beer – affectionately known by brewers as ‘Little Creatures’, which is what gives the pale ale its distinctive cloudy appearance and unique flavour.

Wine

Purchased in 1986, the neglected but historic Vidal’s No.2 Vineyard at Te Awanga, Hawke’s Bay was set to become Clearview Estate. Tim Turvey with business partner Helma van den Berg took on the challenge of bringing it back to life. Together they hand grafted and planted the first vines in the winter of 1988.

Read more about Clearview Estate

Clearview Estate Winery Ltd was established for the first red wine vintage in 1989, following some experimentation in prior years. Chardonnay began in 1991 with the release of the first Reserve Chardonnay.

Over the next several years, Tim and Helma went on to plant thousands of trees including avocado, olive, bay, citrus, gums, and melia. And they didn’t stop there. Together they expanded the vineyard by three acres each year, grafting and planting vines, ramming posts, running wires, training young vines, and for many years completing all of the pruning themselves.

Today the business proudly remains owner-operated. Tim oversees the vineyards and works with chief winemaker Matt Kirby and assistant winemaker Rob Bregmen to create legendary much-awarded wines. Helma manages the finance, restaurant, gardens and her extraordinary team. Steeped in history, Clearview Estate Winery Cellar Door and Clearview Estate Red Shed Restaurant have become an iconic and awarded destination for both locals and visitors from afar.

Leefield Station is a range of wines that celebrate the history of the iconic sheep and beef station located in the heart of the Waihopai Valley. Purchased in 2013 by Marisco Vineyards, the property inspired us to go back to the beginning with our winemaking approach. Defined by their authenticity, these wines embody the rustic charm and vibrant flavours that Marlborough is known for.

Read more about Leefield Station

When the Leefield Station property in the heart of the Waihopai Valley came on the market Marisco proprietor, Brent Marris, just knew he had to have it. Not only would this be an opportunity to continue and grow the Marisco brand with land from the beloved Waihopai, but an opportunity to own and take guardianship of a piece of trophy land in Marlborough.

Having grown up in Marlborough with a father who was well acquainted with this property, Brent set about buying the land with the vision of bringing to life the winemaking potential this land had to offer while paying homage to the history of Leefield Station as a farming property. His aim was to create a unique property that would see world-class viticulture and winemaking be complemented by a fully functioning Romney sheep and Angus beef station.

With an ambitious vision and a creative, hard-working team this vision is gradually being brought to life. Leefield Station wines are quickly being established as quality, award-winning wines that over deliver on quality. The farm is at the forefront of agricultural technology running Romney sheep and establishing a name as a reputable Angus stud. Plans for the future include a world leading winery that will lead the way in technology and innovation due to be completed in time for the 2020 vintage.

Few entertainers in New Zealand can claim to have been playing in bars since the age of thirteen. Aside from the obvious legal ramifications, this is because few entertainers feel the way about music that Vegas Brown does. It is not just his bread and butter, but his heart, his soul, and his life-blood.

Read more about Vegas Brown Band

This passion is exemplified, not only in every one of his live performances, but in his diverse and eclectic musical background. Whether it be behind the drums, behind the microphone or simply behind the next person in line, Vegas Brown exudes a genuine and sincere love for his craft.

In 1995 Vegas took up the microphone with Mama Said, the popular funk-rock outfit who’s driving rhythms and signature vocals saw them take out both first place and Best Vocalist at the 2000 New Zealand Battle of the Bands. This title, and the growing reports of the band’s energetic and talented frontman, inevitably led to bigger festivals and shows, and so, in an effort to reconnect with his love of smaller, more low-key gigs, Vegas formed Warrant of Fatness, a collaborative covers band, made up of some of the finest musicians in the Waikato. Primarily conceived as an act designed to warm up a crowd, Warrant of Fatness quickly achieved infamy through their ability to overshadow the main act with their sociable banter and story-telling, as well as their huge sound and dynamic versions of popular songs. Warrant of Fatness rapidly rose through the ranks of the cover scene, and were repeatedly funded for nationwide tours, where they left crowds eager to hear more of the unique blend of music and (often inadvertent) stand-up comedy.

In 2003, Vegas completed the line-up of Hamilton rockers, 48May, where he spent three years behind the drums; releasing two albums, and collecting numerous accolades such as ‘Best Drummer’, ‘Best Song’, ‘Best NZ Band’, ‘Favourite Newcomers’ and a highly coveted Gold Album. His tenure in 48May also saw him play alongside peers such as Alien Ant Farm, Simple Plan, Panic! At The Disco and Grinspoon, and perform at sold out festivals such as Big Day Out, the Queenstown Winterfest, and X Air. However, as his reputation behind the drums increased, so too did his desire to take up his familiar role behind the microphone once again. And so, in 2006 Vegas returned to the front of the stage, bringing with him the flair for showmanship, and the passion for music that had made him such a recognizable figure in the New Zealand music industry.

This passion was realised not only in the form of his live shows, but also in the heartfelt and honest songs he began writing. Rather than deal in the vague commonalities of girls, love and life that are all too familiar on today’s airwaves, Vegas instead, found a cathartic sense of release writing about his own personal issues, both positive and negative– the moments in time that affected him, and ultimately, defined him. Interspersed throughout his show, these original and emotive songs counterbalance the more recognizable covers that never fail to get people up and dancing.
Without the backing of a full band, it is a rarity to find an act that can capture a crowd so completely, and yet, armed with a single guitar and an inherent sense of rhythm and flow, Vegas doesn’t play through sets as much as glide through them. Audiences are transformed from peripheral listeners to active participants, and music changes from a noun to a verb, in a shared social experience that can only be achieved by someone who truly loves what they do.

“Something Like That” a mix of RnB/Rock/Pop & Reggae in our own special “Acoustic Soulful” style. We cater to local bars, events, concerts and weddings.
