We have some great news – we were nominated for the Mataariki Industry Awards, Barkers Cafe of the Year...and we WON!
The 2008 Mataariki Industry Awards is an initiative of “Northland Chefs” who largely make up the newest and youngest Branch of the New Zealand Chefs Association. The Mataariki industry Awards are about recognizing the standard and achievements of those in our region who strive to be the best. This is the ultimate awards of Industry Excellence in Hospitality. This year there were 10 award categories that recognised businesses or business persons.

We attended the delightful dinner last night, entertained by Chef Paul Jobin and the team via a “live feed” from the kitchen. Kate Bell Events transformed the Forum North Events room. With the dazzling fairy lights hanging from the ceiling, organza and taffeta bows galore...it was truly an experience. To top it off the 5 course meal prepared by a different Chef per course (from Northland Chefs Association) and matched by Northland Wines... my taste buds were tantalised and I am looking forward to the next dinner!
A big pat on the back to our team at the cafe (for always giving their best), our suppliers, our loyal customers and our business advisors. Also many cheers to Hospitality Standards Institute, Northland Chefs Association and all the sponsors for the evening and the team of organisers!!
And a reminder we are open weekdays, 7.30AM till 5PM and weekends, 9.30AM till 4PM. And available for private functions, MID-WINTER FUNCTIONS..BIRTHDAYS...

WOW! What awesome news! Am so pleased to see that you guys are doing so well. We were going to be coming up your way in August and had planned a stop in visit but the date of the event we were attending clashed with our church Album recording..... so we will plan another date! We are well over-due for a holiday but trying to find good dates is almost impossible!!!
Again so pleased for you and your team - obviously deserving!
Will add you as a link on Divas as soon as I get some serious blogging time,
Love Gail
