Big Buddy Major Partner
Fantail and Turtle was crowned the #1 Gastro Pub in New Zealand in 2024, and we are thrilled to have them onboard as one of our Major Partners.
The bar and eatery can be found on Auckland's North Shore, right in the middle of Takapuna's bustling Goodside at Smales Farm.
Owner Travis Field and his team are the driving force behind their consistent support of the Big Buddy cause.
The impressive list of well-known New Zealanders who have lent their time as guest speakers, speaks to the calibre of these events.
Since 2019 Fantail & Turtle have closed their doors to host exclusive fundraiser lunches in support of the Big Buddy Foundation. Businesses and individuals alike thoroughly enjoy a sumptuous long lunch for a worthy cause - it's fun, it's social, and everyone knows they are making a positive difference.
Through these fundraising lunches, Fantail & Turtle have raised well over $430,000 for Big Buddy – and their drive to do more only continues to grow!
