Tonight | Off the Grid with Colin and Manu on Channel 7: the chefs head to the Bay of Islands – Off the Grid episode 7 airs Tuesday 10 November 2026 at 9.15pm on Channel 7. The programme is also available on 7plus.
Colin Fassnidge and Manu Feildel head north to the Bay of Islands to cook with friends. They continue to Ninety Mile Beach for a cook and fish from a tinny on Kaipara Harbour.
The journey shifts between a shared meal with friends and a more hands-on coastal outing. Fishing from a tinny makes the local catch part of the cooking rather than just a backdrop.

Season two follows the chefs across Aotearoa in a small caravan, meeting local people and exploring regional food traditions. The episode listing does not say what they catch or cook.
The Bay of Islands stop gives the chefs a chance to share a meal with friends before they continue north. Ninety Mile Beach then becomes the setting for another cook, while a fishing trip in a tinny takes them onto Kaipara Harbour. The itinerary brings together company, travel and fresh food in one episode.
Colin and Manu are best known to many Australian viewers as My Kitchen Rules judges. Off the Grid places them on the other side of the cooking, sourcing ingredients and preparing meals as they go. Their travel through New Zealand has taken them from remote landscapes to local kitchens and coastal communities.
The series follows the pair in a small caravan across Aotearoa. They meet people along the way, learn regional food traditions and cook with what the journey offers. Episode seven keeps that approach close to the water: a beach visit and a harbour fishing trip sit alongside the meal shared in the Bay of Islands.
Off the Grid with Colin and Manu airs on Tuesday 10 November 2026 at 9.15pm on Channel 7.
