Located in sunny Takaka in New Zealand's stunning Golden Bay, Roots Bar was built with a vision of providing an alternative space where locals and travellers can enjoy a great music culture through a great sound system, eat fantastic food, enjoy the high vibes and energy that the outside open fire brings to the bar, and of course indulge in tasting some NZ medal winning craft beers that the bar has on tap.

The name "Wholemeal Trading Company" was conceived during a late night 'session' around the fire in 1977.

The Wholemeal is a great place to have breakfast or lunch with a group of friends. Located in the old Historic theater you will find an abundance of seating surrounded in funky decor and a warm bohemian atmosphere.
