We have a top new restaurant in Whangarei...

Denise Piper Reporter from Whangārei Leader

Congratulations to Local Talent Taverna which has been named New Zealand's Most Loved New Business in Stuff's Love Your Local Awards. The Cameron St eatery has a Greek- and Mediterranean-inspired menu, and relied on word-of-mouth from locals to get the message out about the new business.
The awards were judged by celebrity chef Peter Gordon, Eat New Zealand CEO Angela Clifford and Stuff food editor Emily Brookes.
Have you been to Local Talent Taverna?
Are there any other new businesses in Northland you think should be recognised?

Scam caller

Hi all I just received a phone call from 246347198 which had a recorded message stating that my Vodafone contract has been terminated.
I don't use Vodafone so obviously a scam. Just letting everyone know in case 😉
