“We’re leaving the building” – Memories and milestones as café celebrates 28th birthday

This June marks the 28th year of Wellington institution the Ministry of Food, one of the founders of the café culture that revolutionised Wellington’s image locally and internationally. For owners Brenda Jessup and Tony Lynch, the birthday heralds the end of an era as they prepare to move out of their premises next to the Beehive in search of a new home kitchen.
