True to its name, Social Kitchen is all about bringing people together over exceptional food. Housed in a character-filled former community hall in New Plymouth, this restaurant has quickly become a Taranaki institution. The menu reimagines rustic farmhouse cooking for the modern palate, with an emphasis on shared plates and flame-kissed flavours. A charcoal-fired Josper grill anchors the open kitchen, turning out succulent cuts of meat, soulful vegetables, and other seasonal dishes imbued with smoky depth. The experience is rounded out with craft cocktails and regional wines, served by staff as friendly as they are knowledgeable. Bustling, hearty, and endlessly inviting, Social Kitchen embodies the spirit of its community with every dish delivered to the table.
