    Christ what a weekend.

    Fathers Day today, and wound up popping into a residential street in PanmureEdit:Pakuranga to Smokey Wheelz BBQ.

    Home | Smokey Wheelz BBQ

    There were four of us - ordered the family platter. $130, ok wut? Ah well, we'll see how it is, can take leftovers home, it's fathers day, we're here.

    Fark

    Family? The crew running the joint were an extended family - they might want to specify it's for two 4 person families, or one big family. Honestly, we couldn't eat half of it ... hell, a quarter of the platter was a WHOLE SMOKED CHICKEN. With massive sides of mac'n'cheese, fries and slaw.

    Pic below, I retired to the couch and skipped dinner. Also, the Brisket was sensational - really moist, smokey and good.

    I wouldn't have thought you could buy that much meat raw from the supermarket for $130 these days

    @Crucial Bloody expensive pies. Plus the second major ingredient in the Mince Pie is sugar?!!!

    Rule number 1 with pies is to never check what is in them. Taste is the only indicator.
    They are value for money though. Decent filling quantity and not all gravy/sauce.
    I do prefer Fairlie Bakehouse pies myself but they don't deliver.

    These, however, are the best by far. Just hard to get.

    @Crucial Bugger I drove to Te Awamutu last week. Could have sampled a Fairlies Pie en route. Will add the Sangas to my list next time in Central. Can't remember when I last had a pie that didn't disappoint

    Where did you drive to TA from? You do know where Fairlie is don’t you?
    Everyone that drives though Fairlie stops for a pie.
    They do an awesome filling of Corned beef, Mustard and Potato that takes comfort food to the next level.

    @Crucial I know exactly where Fairlie is and because I know I won't be going there anytime soon I looked up stockists. There are two in Te Ika a Maui. One in Wellington and the other just past Mystery Creek on the way to Te Awamutu.

    That's alright, just had me really confused with your OP 😉

    Didn't realise there was a stockist in Welly though!

    According to their website there is a cafe on Thornton quay that sells them. Don’t know if it’s still true.

    The olds will be happy to hear that if true. Pretty sure Fairlie cafe is the only reason their bikie gang goes to the SI.

    You wouldn’t want one mate. She must be over 90 now.

    @Crucial I have just walked back to the car from the I-bike cafe on Thorndon Quay.

    I can confirm they have a pie warmer branded Fairlie Pies. Also that it was empty at noon

    I was told they don’t really do pies that often ☹

    Now I’m hangry
