Little Ed

In South Auckland’s Pukekohe, Little Ed is an all-day eatery with a spring in its step.

The welcome is warm, the staff relaxed, and the mood lively — the sort of place where the playlist coaxes feet to tap. From morning coffees to late clinks, it is Pukekohe’s go-to for communal catch-ups.

The kitchen favours bold, sociable flavours. Starters range from mushrooms stuffed with cheddar, onions, and bright, sun-dried tomatoes with salsa. There is finesse in tuna tataki with sesame crust, yuzu and wasabi mayo, while breakfast brings fried chicken and waffles or properly sauced eggs Benedict.

Sharing plates roam widely: Korean fried chicken glossed in gochujang; picanha teamed with bright chimichurri, and pork belly glazed with honey and white balsamic.

Be it a coffee date, a leisurely meal, cocktails or a relaxed wine tasting, Little Ed keeps the tempo high. Swing by and share the fun.
