Kiwiburger munchers give kiwi birds a boost

GBK Managing Director, David Sykes tucks into his favourite dish - the Kiwiburger.
Sales of the popular burger will help raise funds for the Whakatane Kiwi Trust.

Fans of the fabulous GBK Kiwiburger will be munching for a cause from April 2010.

GBK, the Gourmet Burger Kitchen, is a ‘posh burger’ company started by three kiwi backpackers in 2001 in the UK. GBK is now established throughout mainland UK.

GBK goes to extraordinary lengths to make sure their burgers are the freshest and the tastiest around, and they are going to extraordinary lengths to help the Whakatane Kiwi. 25p from every GBK Kiwiburger sold will help the Whakatane Kiwi Trust to protect and grow the local Kiwi population.

Fresh ingredients of beetroot, egg, cheese, pineapple, relish and salad atop a 100%
Aberdeen Angus Beef burger – GBK’s Kiwiburger is just how we like it.

GBK MD, David Sykes, said that GBK was thrilled to be partnering with such a successful kiwi conservation project that was so well supported by its community, Councils, DoC and local Ngati Awa iwi.

“We are very proud of GBK’s New Zealand heritage and we consider it very appropriate that our gorgeous Kiwiburger can help a New Zealand kiwi conservation project,” said Cat Kebbeh, GBK’s Head of Marketing.

Cat Kebbeh said that GBK was looking forward to developing a long-term relationship with the Whakatane Kiwi Trust and watching kiwi flourish in Whakatane.

According to independent reviews GBK serves the best burgers in a relaxed dining environment.
