Something spooky is coming to Ponsonby this Halloween 🎃👀

For one night only, Saturday 31 October, keep your eyes peeled. A busy little skeleton will be hard at work somewhere on Ponsonby Road.

Find him, snap a pic and share it for good luck. If you dare. 🕷️

Thanks to our friends at Creature Post for their fabulous lighting work.

Mezze on your mind?

Goblin is an incredible, creative, community hub where wild ideas come to life. This place is an absolute unicorn - it's where big bands (complete with saxophones, trombones and trumpets), life drawing, puppetry, DJs, comedians and incredible musicians making it big on the world stage (yes, we see you Benee and Kimbra!) can ALL call home, sweet home.

No night is the same, and baby, that's just how they like it.

📍Goblin, 134 Ponsonby Road

Watch a kitchen with forty years of experience.

This is what four decades of muscle memory looks like. No fuss, no second-guessing, just the easy confidence of a team that has done this thousands of times and still makes it look like art. The flame, the sizzle, the prawns catching colour. Honestly, we could watch it all day.

This is the stuff that has kept Auckland coming back since 1986. Not trends. Just great food, cooked properly, by people who love doing it.

So tell us: pizza, or the steak. What are you ordering first? Drop it below.

Prego Restaurant . Walk in. Since 1986.
