Fresh ingredients ensures your buffet tastes great


We believe that great food starts with great ingredients. That’s why every meal from The Food Co. is crafted with fresh, seasonal produce. Our chefs bring experience, creativity, and attention to detail to every meal, ensuring your catering is always of the highest standard, and we take pride in sourcing local, high-quality ingredients.
Our menus change with the seasons, with a varied selection throughout the year. We also offer a range of gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options to suit dietary requirements.

Reliable delivery and service whether it's an early morning breakfast, lunch or evening meal


Timing is everything when it comes to catering. Whether it’s a 5 am breakfast or a late-night dinner, our team is committed to prompt, reliable service.
Every event is different, so we offer a range of service options to match your needs. We can deliver the food for you to arrange and serve, or, if you need it, we can arrange for our team to set up, serve and clear away the food. You can choose between disposable serving trays, plates and bamboo cutlery, or crockery and stainless steel cutlery and hot serving dishes.
We’re committed to making your event run smoothly, so you can relax and enjoy the event. We work with clients in Hastings, Napier and across the wider Hawke's Bay region. Get in touch to discuss your requirements.
