Francky grew up in the kind of place where jackfruit grew outside the door and rice paddies stretched as far as you could see. A proper farm boy from a small village in Goa.

This year he’s not going home. So instead, he’s bringing that food here - his mum’s cooking, that spice and slow heat, right in the middle of a Hawke’s Bay winter. And he’s not doing it alone.

Garden to Tiffin is a four course winter dinner at St Georges. Goan and Indian heritage, our winter garden at its best, and a shared table built for a long evening.

Francky grew up in the kind of place where jackfruit grew outside the door and rice paddies stretched as far as you could see.

A proper farm boy. A small village in Goa. And a kitchen that shaped everything.

Two nights. One hundred and twenty guests. Zero electricity.

Unplugged is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time - create an evening that feels warm, grounded, and intentionally different.

An evening designed to reconnect you to food, to process, to the people around your table, and to the energy we so often take for granted. World Environment Day felt like exactly the right moment to do it.

For Francky, it was also something more personal. Growing up in Goa, cooking over fire was just how food was made. These two sold out nights were a return to that - and you could taste it in every dish.

The fires were lit, the candles were glowing, Jennifer from filled the room with live violin, and the whole thing became something we’ll be talking about for a long time.
Thank you to everyone who came and made it what it was.

There’s more to come. 🔥

"My mother and my father fed seven kids day in, day out, cooking on a fire."

Francky sat down with Hawke's Bay Today to talk about Unplugged - what it is, where the idea comes from, and why it feels completely natural for St Georges.
