CATERING
You create the occasion, we will bring the food.
We are passionate about all the amazing produce Otago has to offer and love locally sourced seasonal produce. We pride ourselves in using the best ingredients available, being flexible with clients requests and competitive on price. Whether you are looking for a work BBQ or dinner, wedding catering, an intimate dinner at your house, canapes or grazing tables to impress clients or a large garden party in the summer, we can cater for all occasions.
PRIVATE CHEF EXPERIENCE
Treat yourselves!
We all like dining out but there is something very special about having that experience personalised and have a Private Chef come to you. With this experience, you'll receive a VIP service that you could expect in the best restaurant in town.
We can cater for any lunch or dinner occasion from birthday celebrations to anniversaries, from a special family gathering to hosting distinguished guests. Every special occasion deserves special treatment and with our 3 course menu you and your guests will be spoilt for choice. Best of all we will do the dishes, clean the kitchen and leave the leftovers in the fridge for a snack later on.
