Wow!! Is all we can say.๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅณwhat a beautifully overwhelming night for our first takeaway evening. We truely appreciated the patience, feedback and support. We clearly need another two deep fryers as we struggled to keep up. We are sorry for the wait time for some orders and we will do better next Friday. The AMAZING team got their mojo going so now we can settle in for our next takeaway night. We went through ALOT of fish and chips.๐Ÿฆˆ๐ŸŸThe tarakihi and fresh batter seemed to be the star of the night. Thanks again everyone.

Hi everyone. Apologies, we were aiming to put the menu up tonight but will do it first thing tomorrow morning once we have sorted our fish supply. We are wanting to batter our own fresh fish but this is difficult to do, especially with the price of fish!! Anyhooo, we will have a plan by the morning. We have phone orders already for tomorrow so it looks like we are going to be busy.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜ phone orders are welcome.
Meantime, come and enjoy home made pea n ham soup and toast on these cooler days along with out other yummy food.โ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿฅช๐ŸŸ๐Ÿ” watch this space.

Good morning everyone. Thank you for the first day support. Its great to keep meeting people. We have had an interesting suggestion and want to get some feedback. The idea of have an area for a couch to sit inside, have a coffee, read a book etc seems appealling. Would this type of area be used much? Please let us know.
Most of the shop is restocked now. Will have pet food, ice blocks and ice by next week.. we havent forgotten our gluten free whanau. We will be building up those products too. ๐Ÿคฉ Take care out there, stay warm. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

It's with great pleasure and yes relief that the community of Onga Onga will continue to have it's General Store. Shelley and Bevan Smith will take over on the 8th of June the shop will be closed from the 6th and reopen on the 9th. I'm sure you will all welcome and support them as Onga does. Yes we are in trying economic times, but please try to because our type of shop is a dying breed, but with your help we can keep Shelley and Bevans dreams alive. Leanne will be back ๐Ÿ˜Š yay so the new line up is looking great .I wish you all the very best for the future, we've enjoyed our time with you, wonderful memories we'll take away along with new friends made along the way. From Cushla, Mike , Jasmine, Leanne, Chelsea, Leslie, Karen and Jess Past and present.
