Set menu catering

Set menu catering for seated events

Set menu catering is the most controlled format we offer, and the one that shows the kitchen at full stretch. Every plate leaves looking the way the chef intended, courses arrive together, and the timing of the meal is ours to manage rather than something the room decides.

It suits seated events where the meal is the centre of the evening, and where you want guests to experience the same thing at the same moment. Speeches, toasts and the run of the night all sit more comfortably around a plated service than a buffet.

The dishes below are seasonal. Proteins are chosen for the time of year rather than kept on a standing list, which is why you will see 55-day aged eye fillet alongside line-caught hāpuku and king salmon depending on when you are reading this.

Most events run three courses, though we build longer menus where the occasion calls for it. Dietary requirements are handled dish by dish rather than with a single alternative plate. We cater across Auckland and travel up to two hours out of the city.
