During events at Spark Arena, you'll find up to seven separate food outlets, located on both our upper and lower levels, and we vary our offerings according to the expected needs of the audience at each event. Generally, you'll find a selection of bars serving Heinken, IPA, Amstel Lite, a selection of NZ wines and a range of soft drinks and water. Hot and cold snacks are also served from several outlets around the foyers. These usually include hot chips, pizza, hot dogs, chocolate and icecream.

If you're in the mood for a pre-show sit-down meal from a more extensive menu, be sure and stop by The Tuning Fork, on the lower level of the arena and open at most events.  The Tuning Fork is also the place to find boutique beers and a larger range of wines and spirits on offer.
