It’s the end of an era at MVP!
We’re inviting you to get your final pint poured by the GOAT this Thursday. Come down before 6pm, raise a glass, share a few laughs and help us give Indy the send-off she deserves.
Indy has been part of the Matakana Village Pub family since she was just 13, and now, at 21, it’s time for her to spread her wings and head down to the city to pursue a career in HR.
We’ve had the absolute pleasure of watching her grow, learn and succeed over the years, and we couldn’t be more proud of the person she’s become.
From 13 to 21, so many memories, laughs and moments were shared behind the bar. Now it’s time to send her off on her next big adventure!
We’ll miss you, Indy. Thank you for being such a special part of MVP. Here’s to the next chapter! ❤️
