Interislander - Cook Strait Ferries

Visa Wellington on a Plate

We heard the theme was “Word of Mouth” ... so we made a burger worth talking about.

Interislander Ferry Tale burger

A burger too big not to talk about

Big enough to turn heads and priced to draw a crowd, Ferry Tale was Interislander’s answer to this year’s Wellington On a Plate theme, “Word of Mouth”. 

  • Built around a generous 180g Wairarapa lamb patty
  • A proper feed for just $15 ($18 with fries)
  • Not designed for tiny appetites
  • Local ingredients. Serious size.

Only for a limited time during Visa Wellington on a Plate.

It brought together Wairarapa lamb, artisan cheese and small-batch ingredients from across the region. Each bite told a story of connection, travel and the moments shared along the way.

Ferry Tale took its name from stories shared across Cook Strait / Moana o Raukawakawa on Interislander journeys. It was inspired by those moments of connection and discovery that turn every crossing into something worth talking about.

Size really matters

It featured: 

  • Premium 180g Wairarapa lamb burger 

  • Smoked scamorza-style cheese 

  • House-pickled red onion and fresh rocket 

  • Spiced tomato relish 

  • Gluten-free option available
