Official ferry for Visa Wellington on a Plate
Interislander has been a long-time supporter of Visa Wellington on a Plate, the famous hospitality event that lights up the Wellington region each August.
About Visa Wellington on a Plate
Visa Wellington on a Plate (Visa WOAP) is the largest culinary festival in the Southern Hemisphere. Every year it transforms the lower North Island into a foodie's paradise. Its deliciousness extends from Kāpiti Coast and Porirua in the west to Hutt Valley and Wairarapa in the east, not forgetting the CBD and suburbs in between. And with our support, Visa Wellington on a Plate is also happening on Cook Strait!
Visa Wellington on a Plate dates
Visa WOAP runs from the 1st to 31 August 2025 across the region’s restaurants, bars and venues. Burger Wellington sees over 200 burgers available from 4 to 24 August, including Interislander's:
The Love Ferry
Featuring a Poneke Red brioche bun, with a beef & pork patty seasoned with a mix of smoked paprika, garlic, and a touch of cayenne pepper. Melted Kapiti brie cheese with caramelised onions, roasted red peppers, rocket and truffle aioli. Topped with crispy Harrington’s bacon and pickled jalepenos for those who like a little heat. Served with a side of crispy fries sprinkled with smoked paprika and sea salt at $20. For the perfect pairing, we offer a Garage Project Beer match for $12.
Burger on our ferries
During the festival, we'll be serving our "The Love Ferry" burger on select sailings, targeting key purchase times.
The burger and fries will be presented in our special 'Ship box', accompanied by a love quote, aligning with the festival's theme of 'Food is Love'.
Pop-up Burger at Wellington Railway Station
To extend the accessibility of “The Love Ferry” burger and support our WOAP sponsorship, we're setting up a pop-up burger truck outside the Wellington Railway Station. This will allow the public to indulge in our burger and fries without needing to sail on the Interislander.
