Monteith’s Wild Food Challenge 2026
Aotearoa’s boldest food competition is back, wilder and more daring than ever.
This May, the Monteith’s Wild Food Challenge returns after last year’s hugely successful revival, bringing together more than 60 restaurants, pubs and eateries nationwide to create daring dishes, featuring the country’s most adventurous ingredients, perfectly paired with Monteith’s brews.
From city favourites to small‑town heroes, venues across the country have spent months experimenting with wild, foraged and unconventional ingredients to craft one‑off creations that surprise diners and celebrate Kiwi creativity. The result is a nationwide showcase of culinary imagination, stretching from Riverton to Paihia
Public voting will again shape the competition, with Kiwis across the country casting votes to determine a shortlist of five dishes, before the expert judging panel chooses the ultimate winner.
