This is a new event that has been set up by Kasa Kiwi and is now becoming one of the most popular places to spend a Sunday afternoon. Sunday Funday pairs all day drinking on Kasa Kiwi’s beautiful terrace with an artisanal market, great food, fun games and some of Xela’s most talented musicians.

FatDog BBQ (Next event: January)
@The Dog Palace
1st Sunday of every month
Food 12 noon until 3pm – Bar until 6pm
What better way to spend a relaxed Sunday afternoon than brunching a BBQ on Fat Dog’s rooftop terrace? The plates may very from event to event but usually include BBQ ribs, chicken, mixed plate, pulled pork and Xela’s best vegan burger. All of these great options also come with all you can eat sides as well, making this monthly event a mainstay in the Xela social calendar. The game changer about the FatDog BBQ is that it gives you the opportunity to spend a whole afternoon with a host of loveable dogs who live at the Dog Palace while you enjoy your brunch, making it a particularly special event for any dog lovers.
Tickets are available from Café Mandarina and must be bought in advance, this is not one to be missed!
