Viva la Vaca or "Long live the cow" pays tribute to the monarchy of meat, and the Kiwi and Argentinean love of tender, succulent, gorgeously cooked meat! Our love for good food, fun and life can be tasted in every bite of goodness from Viva la Vaca....so come and experience the flavours of Argentina in Nelson!

We catered our ‘Me en su Casa’ in house private chef experience for a special birthday a couple of weeks ago, and it was delicious. The menu started with canapés when the guests arrived and moved onto a first course of Tuna crudo, followed by main courses of beef ribeye and porchetta, and finished off with a tasty sticky date pudding with house made ginger ice cream. Served in-home at our wonderful clients house, it was a magic setting.

Happy birthday Mike! Thanks so much to you and mandy for having us to cater your birthday dinner 💕💕

A tasty catered lunch for the fab folk Donaldson Civil Ltd a couple of weeks ago to celebrate midwinter (and onwards to summer)! We served a banquet style menu with meats and salads, full of flavour and perfect for a midwinter lunch.

If you’re looking for corporate catering, we have a variety of curated menus for either on-site or pick-up/delivery, and if none suit, we can create a bespoke menu that works for your next event! Get in touch either via our website or send us a message, we’d love to work with you to create something delicious for you and your team/clients!

A glimpse of Saturday evening: A chef in the kitchen. Guests gathered around the table. Beautiful food arriving course by course. Unhurried. Relaxed. Centred around exceptional food and the people you’re sharing it with.

It’s evenings like these that inspired ‘Mi en Su Casa’ our in-home private chef experience for gatherings of 10 or more.

Created for occasions that call for something a little more than dinner out, Mi en Su Casa brings private cheffing into your home. Whether it’s elegant canapés followed by a multi-course dinner or a more relaxed style of service, each experience is thoughtfully tailored to the occasion.

If you’re planning a special celebration, gathering, or simply looking for a different way to bring people together, we’d love to hear from you.
