Blend Bar & Bistro is at 7A King Street in Upper Hutt Central. The kitchen takes a deliberately broad approach — dishes drawn from several cuisines alongside Kiwi classics — spanning pub food, grill and ribs, pizza, salads, seafood and Asian-influenced plates, with gluten-free and vegan options available. It can be reached on 04 210 0070.
The main space accommodates up to 100 guests seated or 150 standing. Ample parking is available, and a discount is offered to Gold Card holders. Opening hours are Monday to Thursday 12pm–8.30pm and Friday to Sunday from 10am until late. Online booking is available, and the venue also offers delivery and takeaway.
Blend Bar & Bistro holds a Google rating of 4.4.
For organisers
The published capacity of 100 seated or 150 standing puts this at the larger end of the Upper Hutt market and within range of full conference dinners, awards evenings and stand-up receptions rather than just small group bookings. Parking availability and late weekend trading are practical advantages for evening functions, and the wide-ranging menu makes it easier to satisfy a mixed delegate group from a single kitchen.
Function menus, exclusive-hire terms, AV provision and minimum spends are not published, so these should be confirmed directly with the venue.
