A big upset for the hospitality sector.

A multi-million dollar deal to buy Nourish Group has fallen over because overseas investors couldn’t easily travel to New Zealand and are concerned about future pandemic restrictions.

Nourish Group owns a number of well-known hospitality businesses around the country, including

Soul Bar in Auckland and Shed 5 in Wellington.

The deal would’ve been worth more than $20 million.

Restaurant Association National President Mike Egan joined Heather du Plessis-Allan.
