The Kitchen Door - Whangaparaoa

This place is just incredible! We drove all the way from Howick just to try out these pasties and they are perfect! Sean not only makes the party himself but the lard that goes into them! These are simply the best pasties I’ve ever tried and definitely worth the drive!

I’m British so I do cringe a bit paying $8 for a pasty but they are yum. Nice little location near the wharf on a sunny day there’s a little picnic table to sit out and enjoy the scenery.

The place to visit next time you're going to Shakespeare Park! <br/ <br/ These pastries are so delicious. Talked to the owner and chef and he explained that he uses purely butter and lard (which he makes himself) to make the pastries. Had the classic beef Cornish which is a tasty savory. I wasn't sure what these were supposed to taste like but it was quite peppery with potatoes chunks in it. The stunner was the onion and cheese (18 month aged cheddar supposedly) and that was the pie that won my heart. Soft, cheesy and flavorsome. <br/ <br/ This place is hard to find but if you follow the pink signs it is well worth it!!

Definitely the best pasties I have ever tried!! <br/ Pastry is a dream to eat, buttery and cooked to perfection and the contents of the pasty are also beautifully cooked and definitely packed well. <br/ Customer service is fantastic with Sean being very pleasant to talk to, I really just have nothing negative to say about The Kitchen Door! <br/ <br/ Would definitely recommend this place to everyone in the area and to make the drive up to Hobbs Wharf!

Yes. All I can say. I grew up in Cornwall and these are proper Oggy pasties. <br/ <br/ We venture up here for special occasions as they never disappoint! <br/ <br/ The meat, vegetarian and cheese onion pasties are on point. Perfectly cooked, buttery, peppery goodness.<br/ <br/ The scotch eggs were delightful and I have it on good authority that the pork pies are amazing. So want to try the Scotch pies but they sold out last time! <br/ <br/ If you want a taste of home or are keen to try the finest of British cuisine..this is the place!
