About
A relaxed three-hour evening walk along Ponsonby Road, combining an easy urban stroll with a progressive tasting tour of some of Auckland’s favourite eateries, finishing with optional drinks at The Cav. Perfect for first-timers and regulars alike.
🟢 The plan:
Join us this Wednesday for something a little different as we walk, taste and explore our way along one of Auckland’s best-known dining strips.
Starting outside the New Zealand Maritime Museum, we’ll make our way towards Ponsonby before beginning our progressive food crawl. Rather than sitting down for one meal, we’ll stop at a selection of venues along the way, giving everyone the chance to choose a small dish or taster at each stop.
Our planned stops include My Fried Chicken for Korean-style chicken, The Blue Breeze Inn for bao or dumplings, Farina for Southern Italian flavours, Mekong Baby for Southeast Asian-inspired dishes, and Beau for cheese, charcuterie or seasonal bites.
The evening finishes at The Cav on College Hill, where you’re welcome to stay for a drink, compare your favourite dishes and continue the conversation.
Duration: ~ 3 hours including food stops (approx. 6.5 km)
Pace/Difficulty: Easy & relaxed, around 1.0–1.5 on our 1–5 day-hike scale. This is a social urban walk with regular stops throughout the evening.
🟢 Schedule & Meeting Spot:
17:15 – Meet outside the cafe at the New Zealand Maritime Museum, Hobson Wharf
17:30 – Brief intro & start walking
19:30 – Walking and food stops finish approximately
19:30 – 20:30 – Drinks at The Cav (Optional)

Cost: $5 donation (cash on the day or bank transfer to 12-3430-0791504-00) to help cover group running costs.
Food & drinks: Food and drinks are not included, so everyone can choose what they would like to purchase at each venue.
What to bring: Comfortable walking shoes, clothing suitable for the weather, a light jacket/rain layer and water.
Numbers are limited to 20 people so we don’t overwhelm the venues along the way.
🟢 House Rules & Safety:
Please be punctual as we step off promptly at 17:30.
Take particular care where the route is close to or crosses roads.
If you have food allergies or dietary requirements, please check directly with each venue before ordering.

No smoking during the walk.
Participants walk at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety.
