North’over the Equator Popular Dargaville restauranteurs, Dave and Kate Northover, have returned to England after 14 years in which, it could fairly be said, they changed the face of local dining. When Dave, a chef by trade, and Kate, an artist, opened Uno’s restaurant in Dargaville in 1997, they gave local residents an alternative to clubbing or pubbing, by bringing in DJs and bands to entertain the weekend crowds. The bright lights were no stranger to Dave as a former tour manager for Led Zeppelin. After a rewarding run with Uno’s, Dave and Kate opened the Baylys Beach restaurant and bar, Funky Fish Cafe, with business partner, Beth Kelleher. Dave was the head chef, Kate ‘coloured it in’ and Beth transformed the grounds into a very beautiful garden. After nearly six years, the couple moved on again to concentrate on catering, golf and, for Kate, freelance graphic design. During their stay in Dargaville, they also managed to fit in a very special occasion, when they were married, with the ceremony being held at one of their favourite places, on Baylys Beach.

Kate and Dave Northover, seeking new horizons
Now the naturalised Kiwi couple have returned home to the UK and are looking forward to spending time with their family. A move to the warmer climate of Spain is next on the agenda. “I’ll be continuing with freelance design,” says Kate. “To keep Dave in the manner to which he has become accustomed.” “And I’ll keep cooking for Kate so she doesn’t starve to death,” says Dave. His plans involve golf, cooking for his nearest and dearest, and maybe hospitality, “if the opportunity arises. “We really enjoyed our time in New Zealand, we love the Kaipara and we are really sad to leave,” he added.
