Eggplant is coming into its own as we head towards summer, so it seemed only right to find a home for it on the evening menu.

We've paired it with our tempura banana blossom from winter, fresh julienne carrot, courgette & bean sprouts, and that sweet umami dipping sauce.

Tempura Eggplant & Banana Blossom.

A familiar dish, just moving with the season.

GF + vegan friendly

On our evening menu, Wednesday to Saturday from 5:30pm.

School holidays tend to bring a little more life to Mangawhai. ☀️

More people around, more families catching up, more time for lunch without watching the clock.

So for the October school holidays, Kids Eat Free at Brewed As.

Monday to Friday, join us for lunch from 12-2:30pm, or come in for an early dinner, and we’ll shout the kids’ meal with every adult main.

Because getting everyone around the table should be one of the easy parts of the holidays.

One free kids meal with every adult main.

Fridays at Brewed As, Mangawhai

Coffee, brunch and lunch through the day. A few people catching up, a few staying longer than planned.

Then from 5:30, we move into evenings. Share plates, drinks, and a bunch of new plates making their way onto the menu as we head towards summer.

Plenty to try, plenty of time around the table.

Pretty much how we like a Friday to look.

Well, this pivot worked out rather nicely. 👀

A little while ago we told you our lamb ribs were making a comeback for summer. Then we did the final numbers and, with where lamb ribs are sitting this season, we just couldn't put them on the menu at a price we felt good about.

So back to the kitchen we went.

And honestly, we're pretty happy we did.

Meet our new Teriyaki Lamb Skewers. Charred lamb with courgette, capsicum & red onion, kawakawa salsa verde, and a fresh salad of bean sprouts, Asian herbs, spinach, red onion & spring onion, finished with teriyaki sauce.

It's brighter, fresher, loaded with texture and flavour, and feels much more at home on our summer evening menu.

Sometimes Plan B turns out better than Plan A.

On evenings Wednesday to Saturday from 5:30pm.

So, why Northland?

Last week we shared that something pretty exciting is starting to take root here in Te Tai Tokerau: coffee.

But why Northland?

Turns out our little corner of the country has some pretty interesting things going for it when it comes to growing coffee.

There’s still plenty to learn. Which varieties will thrive here, where they'll grow best, and ultimately, just how good can Northland-grown coffee be?

That’s the bit we're particularly interested in.

Swipe through for a little Northland coffee growing 101.

And while we're definitely getting ahead of ourselves...

Grown in Northland. Roasted in Northland. Brewed in Mangawhai.

We'd quite like to see that one day.

Have you tried our Shaking Tiger?

Espresso, tiger nut milk, brown sugar + cinnamon, shaken hard over ice until cold and frothy.

And about that tiger nut milk… despite the name, tiger nuts aren't actually nuts. They're little tubers with a naturally sweet, slightly nutty flavour and they happen to work ridiculously well with coffee.

Our Madame Tiger milk is allergen-friendly and made without seed oils, making the Shaking Tiger a pretty clever little alternative to your usual iced coffee.

Cold, creamy, lightly spiced and very easy to drink.

New to evenings from tomorrow

Our Beef Tataki is joining the menu.

Seared eye fillet, pickled onion & daikon, furikake, crispy shallots, coriander and fresh micros, with a punchy yuzu, tamari, ginger & lime dressing.

Fresh, bright, savoury, plenty of crunch, and definitely one for the middle of the table.

On from Wednesday evening.

Come hungry. 🥢

Your coffee might be getting a little closer to home

Something pretty exciting is quietly taking root here in Northland.

Coffee.

New Zealand-grown specialty coffee is starting to become a very real thing, and Northland is right at the heart of it.

Our climate has already shown that coffee can grow here, with crop trials now beginning across Te Tai Tokerau.

And the goal isn't to grow mountains of coffee.

It's to grow really good coffee.

Small-scale, traceable, carefully grown, with a connection to the land and the people behind it.

We've spent a fair chunk of our lives around coffee, so we're pretty excited about this one.

Imagine pouring a coffee at Brewed As that was grown just up the road.

We're not there yet.

But the first seeds are quite literally being planted.

We'll be following the journey.

Saturday morning, mid-service.

Full Breweds lined up on the pass and plenty more where those came from.

If Dad’s idea of a good weekend involves bacon, eggs and a decent coffee, you know where to find us.

Father’s Day tomorrow.

Last Saturday’s courtyard session became an indoor session pretty quickly

Gareth’s giving it another go this Saturday
12–2:30pm, and outside where we hope to stay for the summer ahead

Forecast looks considerably less sideways this time.

And if Dad likes a beer and a decent soundtrack with lunch, you know where to find us.
