The next installment of our dinner series has landed for August - taking place on Friday August 21st and Saturday August 22nd. We host a dinner most months, our chance to show our creativity and deliver some new experiences to our community. This time we hand the creativity over to someone very special - and no doubt they'll be our biggest yet!

Cherie Metcalfe built Pepper & Me from her Pāpāmoa kitchen into a spice cupboard staple in over 300 stores nationwide, with more than 100,000 home cooks behind her. Her mission from day one: make really good food, really easy. Her fourth book, Potluck, is her most personal yet, a community cookbook built around the people at her own table. Chefs, musicians, family and the Pepper & Me crew all get a page, each recipe carrying their name and their story.

We're bringing Potluck to our table for two nights only. Somethin' Somethin' is turning a handful of the book's recipes into a five-course dinner, from smoked fish rillettes through to a pull-apart lamb shoulder, finishing on a lemon tart from Cherie's own other half. Straightforward, generous food, cooked the way the book means it to be cooked.

Cherie will be with us both nights, signing copies of Potluck and meeting the room.

Two nights, one book, one table. Expect this to sell out fast.

POTLUCK

With Cherie Metcalfe - August 21st & 22nd 2026
