The Co-Op Kitchen & Bar is a restaurant and bar at 69a Discovery Drive, Whitby, sited on the banks of the Whitby lakes in Porirua. It is operated by Star Group, a New Zealand hospitality group, and participates in the group's Star Social rewards scheme.
The interior is described as fresh and contemporary with local character, and the venue has a covered outdoor garden bar intended for year-round use. The menu is broad rather than specialised, covering burgers, pizzas, pork belly, schnitzels, steaks, fresh salads, seafood bowls and Korean-style fried chicken. It is family-friendly, with a dedicated children's menu and activities, and is dog-friendly. Contact is 04 234 1580.
For organisers
The covered garden bar and lakeside setting suit relaxed group lunches, welcome drinks and incentive-programme downtime rather than formal conferencing. Being part of a multi-venue hospitality group can also simplify coordination where an organiser is booking across more than one site.
