He says the pit can produce up to 400 hangi, which at standard pricing means a small team can generate several thousand dollars for a day’s work.
“My team will coach you through the wholeprocess, take care of everything so the food is cooked properly. There’s a bit af a wananga at the same time so here’s an opportunity for our people to learn the process of hangi but also to raise some moeny for their communties,” Mr Spraggon says.
