The lovely and fabulous Frocks on Bikes team has organised a brunch at Duke Carvell’s this Sunday. Not only am I super stoked to get frocked up and ride my bike around town with a bunch of other awesomely attired ladies and gentlemen, but I am super excited to eat some yummy food at Duke Carvell’s. I was also excited to take advantage of their BYO Sundays to make it a boozy brunch… but alas, as of some time recently, Duke Carvell’s have cancelled not only their BYO Sundays, but also their 2 for 1 Mondays!
It’s confusing to try to keep track of all the special weekly deals on in Wellington, and despite my attempts at finding some kind of definite list, I was unable. So, I will compile here, for my Wellingtonian readers (and myself), various food & drink deals to be had around town.
Mondays
2 for 1 pizza at Mediterranean Food Warehouse (be prepared to wait a while)
2 for 1 food at Chow
2 for 1 steaks at Crazy Horse
BYO at Cuba Street Bistro (Roxy Cafe) for $6 cork fee Monday – Wednesday
**UPDATE** I saw a sign in the window of the left bank Taco Shop saying “2 for 1 Student Mondays”. They have the best tacos in Wellington!
**UPDATE** I read in the paper that Café Istanbul on Cuba Street does 2 for 1 mains on Mondays & Tuesdays, and is BYO.
Lots of choices for deals on Monday nights now…
Tuesdays
$10 burgers and $10 cocktails at Monterey
2 for 1 dessert at the Library Bar
$11 films at Reading Courtney Place ($10 for students)
**Update** Café Istanbul on Cuba Street does 2 for 1 mains on Mondays & Tuesdays, and is BYO.
Wednesdays

Other deals:

$10 jugs of Monteiths at the General Practitioner Monday – Friday 7 pm to 9 pm
BYO at Little India on Cuba Street all the time
BYO at Ozeki Japanese all the time
BYO at Hazel (corkage $6 per bottle)
Maybe we should just start our own BYO pub like these folks in Christchurch did?
I am sure there are other deals and BYO places I am not aware of… please feel free to contribute if you know of any! I am not particularly endorsing any of the above named establishments… though I have been to most of them and if I didn’t like it, I wouldn’t post it here.
