St Georges Restaurant is a far cry from your usual takeaway venue.
Its owner, Francky Godhino, has twice been named NZ chef of the year and is now preparing to offer his award-winning meals as takeaways when New Zealand moves out of full lockdown into alert level 3.
Last month, Godhino shut St Georges earlier than legally necessary, cancelling two large functions and a wedding. This was because a pre-conference tour for the World Hereford Conference dined at his St Georges restaurant before moving on to Queenstown, and becoming a large Covid-19 cluster.
"We did a 134-guest conference dinner here, so we were a bit panicked," he said.
