Covid-19 has created a big upheaval for everyone. Jobs have been lost, businesses have had to close, and many enterprises are just hoping for the best. With the imminent move into level three, some businesses are able to reopen, and the best thing we can do to help them is to support local. 

By spending locally, we support the local economy and our people in our community.

Feeling peckish or just needing some gourmet relief? Here are just some of the wonderful local food outlets that will be able to operate in level three:

Great Food Matakana has eight different menus to choose from. From burgers to Asian street food, there's definitely something for everyone. They deliver to Omaha, Point Wells, Matakana, Whangateau, Leigh, Snells Beach and Warkworth. They also serve menus from the Stables Restaurant and Smiths Bar, so if those are your local haunts then don't worry, you won't have to go without. Check out their selection and order from here.
