Food & Beverage

At Te Pae Christchurch, the food we provide is an essential part of our manaakitanga (hospitality).

Taking inspiration from our unique and diverse region and sitting at the heart of Canterbury – New Zealand’s food bowl – Te Pae Christchurch is spoiled for choice when it comes to showcasing the rich and varied flavours of our country. We mix global expertise with a unique local experience to bring the very best in regional cuisine to your table.

Working to ISO standards, our expert Culinary team can meet a full range of dietary requirements. We can also create bespoke menus to meet the specific requirements of your event, designed to impress your guests – whatever the style, size or budget of your event.

Sustainability is an important part of our food and beverage offering. We work closely with local suppliers, with 91.6% of our food and beverage suppliers based locally, supporting Canterbury businesses while reducing food miles and associated emissions.

At the same time, 99% of food waste is diverted from landfill through a combination of food rescue, onsite processing and composting initiatives, helping create positive environmental and community outcomes across Ōtautahi Christchurch.

Through partnerships with organisations such as Kairos Food Rescue and Full Bellies, surplus food is redirected to people who need it most, extending the impact of our food rescue efforts beyond Te Pae and into the local community.
