We've got our entertainment sorted so let's talk about who's going to be cooking your dinner Friday week (October 9)!

How about these 4 from our line-up!!

The king of BBQ, Flame 'N' Flavour, is back!

If tender, succulent BBQ’d brisket and pulled pork on toasted broiche buns or on roasted spuds (made properly with olive oil and garlic thank you very much) or on mac ’n’ cheese (Ed. swooning!) accompanied by homemade sauces, chilli mayo, pickles and cheese are what you desire, then better see chef Paul. But that’s not all, there’s also pork ribs, nachos and maybe even a sticky pud.

What about the hangi experts The Real Deal Frybread & Hāngi

Does a pulled pork fry bread burger sound good to you? Or a hangi meal deal including a drink and spiced pumpkin and caramel sauce pudding? They also do a Breakfast fry burger (who’s to say you can’t have that little beauty for dinner) and a Banoffee Frybread (banana, caramel sauce, whipped cream and chocolate). Feed your soul a little with a visit to the friendly team at The Real Deal.

If you’re looking for exceptional Thai food, you simply can’t go past Tuss’s Tucker - Tasty Thai Fusion and after a well-deserved break and they are back, fired up and ready to rock and roll baby! They’ll have their trailer loaded to the gunnels with your favourite stir fries, soups, curries, pad Thai, roti, skewers, dumplings, spring rolls, stir fries and (wait for it) pork belly with apple slaw and rice (OMG). Thoughtfully they have GF and VG options available, nice of them eh?

And for afters why not Poppets Kettlecorn -they pop their corn on the day of sale so it’s fresh, tasty and a perfect snack for that sweet or salty kick you’re needing. Grab a bag for the road or for a post-workout pick me up.

Stay tuned for more about our upcoming line up of 11 Food Trucks for October's PALMY NIGHT MARKET.

We've got your sounds and taste buds sorted for the second Friday in October!!!!

Hi everyone,

Due to the inclement weather forecast for tomorrow afternoon & evening we have made the call to cancel our event tomorrow.

We don't like doing this obviously but for safety and comfort reasons this was really the only option we had.

We are now taking a break over winter - so let us say a huge thank you to all our fantastic stallholders, musicians and foodies who have contributed to the success of this initiative.

Also, thank you to the team at The Stomach and the Palmerston North City Council Events team & groundskeepers for their support throughout.

We'll be back from October right through to May next year - so watch this space!!!

Nga mihi nui,

Dermot & the team from Craft Eats & Beats
