Plan your August burger expedition
Don’t leave it until the last weekend. Burger Wellington runs 3–23 August, so there’s plenty of time to work your way through the list, but these burgers are only around for three weeks.
Bring your friends, try something new, and rate your favourites on the Visa Wellington On a Plate website to help our Petone contenders get the recognition they deserve. Many venues take bookings, so it’s worth calling ahead if there’s one you don’t want to miss.
From Jackson Street to The Esplanade, there’s plenty to discover, taste and enjoy.

It’s worth the journey!
