I can hear your tummy rumbling from here

Surf and Turf Day

There’s nothing quite like hearty pub grub

The deeper we sink into winter, the more likely we are to rely on greasy takeaways or heading to our nana’s for impromptu dinner dates. Here’s a better option: make like your favourite Shaun of the Dead starts and head to The Winchester. Or at the very least, head to your local (or someone else’s).

When you think “pub,” you instantly conjure up images that remind you of heaven. It’s warm there, there’s plenty of grub that doesn’t skimp on portion size or flavour, you’re never short of interesting people to make friends with, and there’s a never-ending supply of “juice” to keep your insides nice and toasty.

Browse GrabOne’s Surf and Turf day and rediscover your love of the good ol’ fashioned Kiwi pub. With a bunch of pubs and bars that pride themselves of all-round good experiences, Surf and Turf promises to keep your winter jam-packed with the comfiest and heartiest dining experiences imaginable.

Speaking of pubs, what makes your favourite your favourite?

*Totally false statistic, but, hey, who’s counting?

Don’t let winter get you down

Escape to the Sun

Escape to the sun instead!

We Kiwis have had a bit of a bad run with that thing they like to call summer. I say “they” because summer still hasn’t really arrived to poor old New Zealand yet, so we’re not entirely sure what those glorious summer days actually feel like.

Just because lounging by the pool all day drinking pina coladas and perving at hotties hasn’t been high on your activity list over the last few months, doesn’t mean you can’t get a solid dose of sun in the months to come.

Head to GrabOne Escapes and book a mid-winter adventure in a land much sunnier than New Zealand, thanks to their Escape to the Sun theme day. Fiji, Whitsunday Islands, Surfers Paradise .. The world is your oyster with GrabOne Escapes.

Where to go? What to do?

Whether you’re after a family holiday or romantic escape, we reckon you’ll find the perfect getaway here. With a full range of post-summer holidays in the sunniest spots imaginable, GrabOne Escapes is your one-stop holiday shop this winter.
