From Visa Wellington On a Plate to bottomless dining, brand-new menus and a brand-new venue on the way, there's plenty happening across Star Group venues this month. This year's VWOAP theme is "Word of Mouth" – fitting, given how much of this list you'll want to tell your mates about.
We've got a hands-on seafood feast, a wine tasting crossed with a murder mystery, 21 Burger Wellington creations to work through, and a whole lot more across Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga and Wellington. Keep scrolling for the full rundown.
3–23 August | Participating Star Group venues, Wellington
Twenty-one burgers and three weeks to eat your way through as many as you can. Every participating Star Group venue has thrown its hat in with an original creation you won't find any other time of year. Round up your crew, pick your first stop, and start ticking them off.
Thursday, 13 & 20 August 5:30pm | Coene's, Wellington
Roll up your sleeves for a Southern-style seafood feast built for sharing, right on Coene's waterfront. It's hands-on, generous, and best enjoyed with a table full of people who don't mind getting stuck in.
Sunday, 2 August 4pm | Coene's, Wellington
Crack the case and unlock your next glass. Combine Spy Valley wines, chef-crafted canapés and an interactive tasting into one night, then use what's in front of you to solve the mystery. Part tasting, part whodunnit, all worth showing up for.
Mon 3 Aug, 7pm - 9:30pm | Wolf by Foxglove
Travel from Paris to Cape Town without leaving the table. This menu puts French elegance next to bold South African flavour and lets the two play off each other. A proper reason to book a night out.
All August across Auckland | 20 Star Group venues
Whatever you're craving, there's a bottomless experience to match. Settle in for 90 minutes of indulgence across 20 Star Group venues, grab your crew, and make an afternoon of it.
Every Saturday 2-2:30pm | Master Kong, all venues
DJs, Asian-inspired bites, cocktails and soju-fuelled good times. Kong Club is the weekend session you'll want to be at. Bring the crew and settle in.
Wednesdays from 6pm | Goldie's Bar & Yard, Takapuna
Pull on your boots and hit the dance floor at Goldie's. Whether you know the steps or you're winging it, you might just leave with a new favourite midweek tradition.
Opening September | Sylvia Park, Aucklan
Sylvia Park is about to be home to Auckland's newest favourite sports bar. Big screens, cold pints, and every game that matters. Watch this space.
Ready to make this month one to remember? Book a table, grab your crew, and we'll see you at a Star Group venue near you.
