Looks better than a Maccas Lambburger !

Did you see last week's What's In Our Food on burgers ?

Possible End of the Month meeting place?

I won a $50 voucher through Facebook. Unless there is another Jason Young in Wellington - unlikely as only 91 likes so far on their page.

The Wellington on a Plate finishes this weekend. Not sure how long the Burger Wellington 2012 runs for...

Here's a review on stuff:

I wonder if they use local Ostrich? I know a guy who has an Ostrich farm up past the windmill in Brooklyn

The review has Wellington ingredients: 3.5/5 - so it could very well be local Ostrich...

Went there earlier with a mate. I had the Moa burger, and my mate had the Angus steak. The food was excellent, prompt service - and relatively busy for a Weds night in Island Bay.

It was my first time eating Ostrich, and a quite a pleasing experience! A couple of Tuatara beers matched the food nicely. It's quite a big burger - I wouldn't suggest it for lunch, although the Wellington on a Plate finishes this Sunday 26th Aug.....not much time left.

I'm not sure it's the sort of place suited to a mass meet? A lot of the tables seat 2-6 ppl. It's a nice quiet place; perhaps more suited to a date.
