Snag & Spell Diner Casts a Spell on Families!

There’s magic in the air at Snag & Spell, the newest family hotspot co-founded by local duo Franky McGregor and his brother-in-law, Kauri Tūwharetoa. With a warm, welcoming vibe and a touch of the extraordinary, this charming diner quickly becomes a favourite for kids and parents alike.

Young diners are delighted by live magic shows featuring cartoon sensations Roodini the Remarkable and his feathered sidekick Eldon Emu — keeping little hands clapping while moms and dads relax over a hot cuppa.

Looking for a meal with a magical twist? Swing by Snag & Spell — where every bite comes with a bit of wonder!

"I'm sorry. I hope you haven't given up on me. I'm doing better now, I think. Babs is doing well. You've have liked her. I... I miss you. You probably don't believe that, but that's okay. I don't deserve your forgiveness. You're probably disappointed in me, right? ...yeah. I'll... talk to you soon, okay?"
