Joining the Chook Wagon and Miki Sushi, Pop-up Food Pods are the latest addition to our takeaway food offering! 

Located in the Piazza at Moore Wilson's College Street, Food Pods provide a chance for local artisans to 'pop-up' for a limited time and share their take on street food direct to the Wellington public. Here's what's on right now:

Pod 1: Sunday Cantina

Sunday Cantina is a new eatery on the Kapiti Coast, a little bit different to all the rest. The Cantina Kitchen utilises the abundance of fresh local produce this region has to offer. Not only is the food  fresh and full of flavour, but the ingredients will tell stories of the amazing local people who grow and produce food for their community with love.

POP-UP MENU

Daily Salads Small $8 or large $10

Bone Broth $6

Raw Slices $5

HOURS

Monday to Sunday: 10am – 3pm

Here until Sunday 29^th July 2018.

Pod 2: Taco Addicts

Taco Addicts was created by Austin native, Amber Sturtz, when she tired of the lack of good, fresh Tex-Mex food in Wellington. Using Austin inspiration, WelTec chef training, and worldwide travel/eating experience, Taco Addicts creates delicious, healthy tacos and taco related ingredients.

Amber has created a seasonal, sustainable menu that reflects the New Zealand bounty, but shows off some Austin taco traditions. Since Amber’s taco eating traditions echo her pescatarian background, she has created a menu that is mostly vegetarian and vegan friendly, with a small selection of meat options for those who can’t do without.

Taco Addicts is based in Wellington and supplies Moore Wilson’s Fresh with their handmade flour and wholemeal tortillas, as well as Salsa Roja. They can often be found at markets and events around.

POP-UP MENU

Choose from a handmade flour, wholemeal or corn tortilla. Taco Addicts uses free range eggs and meat, seasonal vegetables, and locally/nationally sourced produce whenever possible. All tacos come with Salsa Roja.

Fresh Craft Beer now pouring at Moore Wilson's Tory Street and Porirua Wine, Beer & Spirits Stores.

Currently on tap

Tory Street

Heyday Primo Pils 5.5% {Wellington} Primo is made with 100% Gladfield Pilsner malt. Showcasing Motueka and NZ Liberty hops in the whirlpool, fermented with lager yeast and dry hopped with Nelson Sauvin. Primo Pils is New Zealand style Pilsner, with aromatic notes of lychee, gooseberries and lime zest.

Whistling Sisters Red Pils 4.7% {Wellington} The colour of danger and passion, this one will alight your mouth and fire your brain. Unexpectedly crisp and fresh. A combination of a Czech and NZ style; we're taking a different road by combining new world hops - Hallertau Blanc and old new world hops Wakatu and Taiheke. 

Te Aro Dragon APA 5.7%  {Wellington} Dragon APA has a slightly sweet aroma with citrus and herbal pine flavours from Mosaic and Flaconers Flight hops. The use of Gladfields American Ale, Wheat and Medium Crystal malts creates a medium bodied and quaffable APA.

North End Field Way 5.8% {Waikanae} Our hop forward pale ale takes its name from the Field Way surf break. Field Way combines 4 different fruity New Zealand grown hop varieties to create complex aromas and flavours of sweet lemon, lime, and mandarin marmalade with a hint of the herb garden. To balance all this zesty hop character we use one of our favourite base malts, the Pale Ale Malt from the Malteurope Maltings at Marton in the Rangitikei and a dash of toffee tinged caramalt malt from the Bairds Maltings in Scotland.

Abandoned Brewery IPA 7.5%  {Lower Hutt} A crisp flavour with late hop aromas that include citrus and a subtle biscuit flavour. The pairing of Motueka and Taiheke hops give this Pilsner a classic New Zealand taste, combining the use of traditional Pilsner malt to have a traditional twist. Undoubtedly this is one of the best beers to pair with cheese, seafood or spicy food.

Porirua

Te Aro Dragon APA 5.7%  {Wellington} Dragon APA has a slightly sweet aroma with citrus and herbal pine flavours from Mosaic and Flaconers Flight hops. The use of Gladfields American Ale, Wheat and Medium Crystal malts creates a medium bodied and quaffable APA.

Renaissance Fellowship APA 5.3% {Blenheim} This beer is a take on the New World Pale Ale. Four malts produce the beer’s rich amber hue and biscuity, malt flavours, while our London ale yeast contributes its own tart, berry-like signature. A symphony of resiny kiwi hop flavours of citrus, ripe stone-fruit and passionfruit which dominate the beers lingering finish.

Double Vision Repeat Offender NZ Pils 5.1% {Wellington} This easy drinking NZ Pilsner starts with a traditional Pilsner malt base and mixes the dynamic Aotearoa hop duo of Nelson Sauv and Rakau to bring a start to finish crisp and balanced character.

Selection changing regularly. Subject to availability.

First watch as they demonstrate one of their favourite ways to cook with cheese and while this bubbles away in the oven you’ll take a taste journey through different cheese varieties from fresh all the way to blue cheese.
