Kitchen Takeover Presents: Skandinavisk Jul


Kitchen Takeover Presents: Skandinavisk Jul

Kitchen Takeover is thrilled to present a culinary celebration of Scandinavian tradition with our Skandinavisk Jul degustation, running from November 15th to December 20th.

This evening blends cherished Nordic holiday traditions with our signature modern Kitchen Takeover twist! 

Inspired by the legendary julbord—literally meaning ‘Christmas table’—this is the smörgåsbord that sets the standard. A festive spread designed to bring friends and family together at Christmas, it features an abundant array of dishes served in rounds, each brimming with seasonal flavours that’ll keep you coming back for more.

Trade your winter knits for something lighter, but keep that festive spirit alive as you step into a cosy winter wonderland. With flickering candlelight, festive cheer, and enough food to keep you merry well into the New Year, you’ll be in the heart of the celebration. And, of course, there will be plenty of beer and aquavit.  

What?  Five courses, welcome cocktail, and more festive magic than you can shake a snow globe at! 

When? Friday November 15th to Friday December 20th  | 6:30pm - late 

Where? Secret Location, Tauranga CBD  - the secret location will be revealed two hours prior via text!

How much?  $149pp+booking fee
