Cooking the Hangi
Whilst we would love to say that our hangi are cooked in a hole in the ground, we can't. But we can say that our method of hangi cooking will provide you with the most authentic flavors, taste and textures. Whilst we can't let you know all the details of how we do it, we can say that we cook above ground in a custom made hangi cooker and use our own blend of seasonings to give the food that traditional hangi taste. And regardless of the hangi menu chosen you can be assured that all these menus have been upsized to provide a generous potion for the heartiest of eaters.
