Our Story

Pickles the Cockatoo has been with us for over 30 years, so it was only right to give him the credit he deserves and name our revamped Brasserie after him – Pickles Perch. Bustling cafe by day, tranquil restaurant bar by night, bringing a quality dining experience to the heart of Hutt City. Dating back to the 90’s, this has always been the place to be. But now it is out with the old brass fittings and in with the modern-day art deco twist. No expense has been spared delivering a unique experience that encapsulates what nothing, but great hospitality should be. Located directly across the road from the urban center shopping mall it makes it perfect for all occasions; whether it is family gatherings, a friendly catch-up or a romantic evening out.

Pickles The Cockatoo

Pickles the Cockatoo has been a favorite of The Angus since he joined the family back in 1984. The White Sulpher Yellow Crested parrot was born on 20 October 1983 in Petone, Lower Hutt. His favorite foods are sunflower seeds, multigrain toast, crackers, and millet sprays. He loves to dance to Poi E, the Patea Maori Club’s hit from the 1980s. He greets people with “Hello Pickles” and will send people off with a friendly “ba bye”. When it is time for bed, he will let us know with “Goodnight Pickles”. He enjoys tearing things up and playing ‘throw’. He is always up for a chat, come pop in to say hi.
