Kitchen Takeover, Te Puke Truffles and Sugo Restaurant have teamed up to offer our foodies a rare and memorable experience that brings together the best of the Bay of Plenty’s produce and people every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from Friday 2 June to Sunday 30th July.
Since 2015 Maureen and Colin, owners of Te Puke truffles, have been harvesting some of the best quality truffles in New Zealand. Their truffles are so good they were featured on TVNZ Country Calendar and A New Zealand Food Story, as well as on the menu at New Zealand’s top two restaurants, Amisfield and Ahi. Now they want to invite you on to their lifestyle farm to immerse yourselves in one of nature’s most prized foods.
Alongside the truffle hunts, we are offering the option of a two course Italian lunch at one of the Bay’s best restaurants, Sugo, where Te Puke Truffle will be the hero. Sugo is led by chef Ian Harrison who has cooked for Marco Pierre White, Heston Blumenthal and more. His restaurant was shortlisted for Cuisines Magazine’s Good Food Awards in 2021, so you’re in for a treat.This option can be booked together with the hunt or separately.
