Munch Catering — Local services in South Island

All email correspondence was done with Paivi from Munch Catering. He made it really easy! He explained everything thoroughly & was always quick to respond to my emails. Great customer service!

Then, the day we had been waiting for.. our wedding day! After a big day in the mountains & returning to the house, the first thing we both remember was the incredible smell of the food Ben was cooking up!

Everything was incredibly fresh & all flavours complimented each other perfectly! Couldn't fault any of our meals & Ben was lovely to have a chat with throughout the night.

I highly recommend this experience as it was so easy to come back home after a big day & be able to relax. If you're thinking about hiring a private chef, make Ben your guy & you won't regret it. 😊

Would love to have Ben cook for us again in...

I'm delighted to have chosen Munch for the catering of my 50th birthday dinner party! The food was delicious, the presentation was gorgeous and the professionalism of the team flawless! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this dinner a success! My guests couldn’t stop talking about the succulent food! And my husband, was so happy you agreed to cook the venison (the first one he caught) : the meat was tender and the jus just enough to enhance the flavour of the venison without overwhelming it. Each dish was truly delicious, from the freshly chucked oysters to the Stewart Island salmon, tender lamb, yummy sides, to the fabulous Thai spiced pineapple dessert. I highly recommend...

We recently had Ben & Paivi cater for our group event, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience.

Ben is an exceptional chef—every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. You could tell there was real care and skill behind the menu. Our whole group was raving about the quality of the food!

Paivi was fantastic to work with throughout the planning process. She was warm, responsive, and really attentive to our needs and dietary requirements. Her communication made everything smooth and stress-free.

Highly recommend them for any event—top-tier food and flawless service....
