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!

Corporate catering does not have to mean sandwiches and sausage rolls.

Whether you are hosting clients, rewarding your team, launching a product or bringing people together for a workshop, the right food can change the entire atmosphere of an event.

We create corporate catering that is fresh, vibrant and designed to be shared, from grazing tables and canapés to substantial lunches and evening functions.

Less beige buffet. More memorable experience.

Get in touch to see how we can cater your next corporate event.

Fancy a little something different for a work-shout, morning or afternoon tea, as part of bigger (catered) meal, or a bite to eat during the day?! Our empanadas are the ticket, like a gourmet pie, only better (in our humble opinion) with multiple flavours to choose from, they suit all occasions! Grab one (or some) today…and if you’re after a larger number, get in touch to order!

Rosie and Mike’s wedding at Fairfield House was such a dream to cater. A grazing table set up in the meadow welcomed guests after the ceremony, followed by a family style mains menu served directly to the tables.

The day was sunny, the venue was beautiful, the setting could not have been more picturesque, and the atmosphere was everything a wedding should be. Relaxed, joyful, and filled with good food shared among family and friends.

A huge thank you to Rosie and Mike for trusting us to be part of such a special day. ✨

As the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, we reminisce on a magical wedding season filled with vibrant catering, long sunlit evenings, and unforgettable celebrations shared with our beautiful couples.

With the 2026–27 wedding season already beginning to take shape (and enquiries beyond that too), now is a good time to start the conversation. Whether your plans are well underway or still just ideas around the table, we’d love to hear what you’re planning and explore how we can bring it to the table.
If you’re beginning to plan your wedding, let’s chat. Feel free to get in touch via our website.

Hola amigos!!! Fancy some wood fired goodness this week?! Come and grab a bite to eat at either or the market! The weather forecast is looking spectacular and what better way to warm up on an autumnal day than in the sunshine with something tasty! See you there!

A different take on a traditional grazing table—these platters were served directly to guests at their tables, as a prelude to a family style menu.

A relaxed start to the evening, designed for passing plates, easy conversation, and that gentle build into the meal ahead.

We love how grazing menus shift with the way they’re served—simple in concept, built from premium ingredients and house-made elements where possible, and just as at home at weddings as they are at corporate gatherings or private dinners.

Fancy a beautiful dinner party in your own home… without spending the evening tied to the stove? 🍷✨

That was exactly what our clients had in mind for their gathering of 11 guests, and we created a fully dairy and gluten free menu to suit the occasion. Guests enjoyed canapés to start, followed by mains featuring venison sirloin for something a little different from the usual (unfortunately not shown in the pics), and finished with fresh berries to complement their cake perfectly.

With one of our wonderful team on-site to set up, serve and pack down, the hosts were free to simply enjoy the evening with their guests 💕
