Sorry NO Dairy Free/Gluten Free/Vegan Meatballs this weekend 13th June 2026.

Don't worry — our Swedish Meatballs will still be available.

We're Thinking About Bringing Back
Our Vegan Meatballs!

As the weather cools down, our Swedish Meatballs are
becoming a popular winter warmer .

We're considering bringing back our Dairy Free, Gluten
Free, Vegan Meatballs as an alternative option, but
before we do, we'd love to know if there's enough
interest.
Don't worry — our Swedish Meatballs aren't going
anywhere! This would simply be an additional option
for those looking for a plant-based meal.

Would you like to see our Vegan Meatballs return to
the market on Saturdays?

😍Yes, definitely!
👍 I'd like to try them.
🤷‍♀️ Maybe occasionally.

Meet The Honest Truth — our very first gin, and still the one you keep coming back for.
Crafted in small batches with a subtle botanical blend, it pours smooth, sips silky, and finishes like a quiet exhale at the end of a long day. At 43% ABV, it's got just enough backbone to hold its own in a G&T, a martini, or simply over ice.
There's a reason this one's our most popular — taste it for yourself.
Available online at ivebeenpickled.co.nz or every Saturday

Something new is arriving at the tomorrow 🍐

Be the first to try our new Quite The Pear – Mellowed Dry Gin from I’ve Been Pickled.

Crafted in small batches and distilled from farm fresh pears, this smooth 52% dry gin delivers a mellow pear character with a clean finish and subtle warmth. Designed to be enjoyed with food or simply over ice, it’s a gin made for slow sipping and good company.

We’ll have tastings available tomorrow at the market, so come say hello, try a sample, and let us know what you think.

At the weekend I was given a little indulgence from – a raspberry truffle that just happens to have I’ve Been Pickled’s most popular Raspberry Jam inside! 🍫🍓

Now, I might be slightly biased… but honestly, this could be the best chocolate truffle I’ve ever had. A perfect blend of rich chocolate and fruity, tangy raspberry – absolutely divine. 💕

Have you tried their chocolates yet?
