Sold: Roaming Giant and Wayward Pigeon to change hands
A Wellington hospitality company has bought two suburban Hamilton bars.
The Roaming Giant, in Claudelands, and The Wayward Pigeon in Hamilton north, have been bought by Wellington Hospitality Group.
The venues are currently under the Lawrenson Group - founder John Lawrenson said he didn't intend to sell, but the offer was too good to turn down.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
