Simon Wilson, Urban Events Managing Director, is excited to have White & Wongs onboard for the event.

“With Michael Dearth of Baduzzi and Nic Watt from Inca already on board as brand ambassadors. We knew we had the makings of a fantastic and never-seen-before food event. White & Wongs is further confirmation this is an event hospitality businesses want to be involved in and one for all New Zealanders to enjoy.”

White & Wong’s spokesperson said, “After a really tough couple of years for our industry, we’re really excited to have an event in New Zealand’s biggest city that can showcase all that is great about the food scene.”

As a great excuse to savour the final moments of summer, INDULGE will bring together locals and travellers into the heart of Tāmaki Makaurau, expected to host around 20,000 over its four days. This festive cuisine is open to anyone in the public, with tickets available on the INDULGE website.
