Following the devastating fire in July 2023 that closed everpopular Off The Track restaurant, on the outskirts of Havelock North, the relatively new owners wondered if they’d ever get their space back together. Re-construction of the restaurant would take a while, they were told. Then a brilliant idea – open a ‘pop-up’ eatery in the Heretaunga St space in Hastings formally occupied by the wonderful Cornucopia Café. This temporary change in venue and food style worked a treat. But now the main event is ready to re-open. So as part of our ‘Support Local’ philosophy we invite you to join us at the shiny new Off The Track restaurant, back at their original venue on Havelock Road, for a 3-course lunch to celebrate another Hawke’s Bay business survival story. We can’t wait to see how the new place looks and feels.
