Ormiston Flat Bush has quickly developed in recent years with the creation of hundreds of homes, bringing with it an influx of thousands of residents.
The Ormiston Town Centre locale is now firmly established and continues to grow and provide more diversified selection of retail offerings and services to its expanding neighbouring population.
The only thing that has been missing is the friendly “local” suburban pub and family restaurant and now that’s becoming a reality.
The Pavilion Bar and Kitchen opens this week and the enthusiastic team at Ormiston Town Centre is delighted about its arrival.
“Get ready to enjoy good vibes, delicious food, and refreshing drinks in the perfect spot to unwind,” says Ormiston Town Centre, which now has an extensive range of eateries and food outlets in its cuisine zone.
It will become a popular and important place to gather socially for residents of south-east Auckland and visitors to the vibrant area.
The Times called into the Pavilion Bar and Kitchen in the lead-up to its opening and owner Ruchi Kang described the final days of preparing the venue as “it’s like the last hour of Master Chef”.
She and her husband Raj Kang are very experienced owner-operators of hospitality businesses, with a proven track record in delivering what’s expected by customers in such an enterprise.
They’ve been guiding The Stables Whitford bar and restaurant for more than a year and before that they ran Valentines in Manukau.
“We love hospitality,” says Ruchi, with a smile of enjoyment.
“It’s a family business and our daughter Simran also works with us when she’s not at university.
“We live in Flat Bush, so we feel very much part of this community. It makes life easier when you live close to your work.”
The Kang family intends to create a “relaxing, bubbly place,” says Ruchi.
“This is going to be the local pub for the community to come to for drinks and yummy food, and we want people to know they can have birthday parties here or children’s parties.”
The dining area of the Pavilion Bar and Kitchen has booths and is separate from the bar, which will be a place for patrons to gather for big sports matches that will be televised on a giant screen.
On the way from the bar to restaurant area customers will also be able to see the beer kegs and lines in action as the keg room, with its clear-glass windows, is an industrial viewing feature.
Ruchi also adds that they intend to provide entertainment options for patrons including quiz and comedy nights, live music, and bingo competitions.
- The Pavilion Bar and Kitchen is located on The Square at Ormiston Town Centre, 240 Ormiston Road, Flat Bush.
