Woodpecker may have only just landed in Parnell, but already the establishment and its owner restauranteurs Mark Wallbank and Che Barrington, are taking Parnell and the rest of Auckland’s cuisine world, by storm. At the recent Metro Peugeot Restaurant Awards they won both Best New Restaurant and Restauranteurs Of The Year, ahead of The White Rabbit, Pilkingtons and renowned chef Al Brown.
Earlier in the month, Woodpecker Hill also made Metro’s Top 50 List.
