Te Papa

Catering

Te Papa aims to provide the highest standards of customer service with innovative New Zealand cuisine that will ensure your guests are catered for in style.

Whether you decide to select from our extensive range of catering menus or design your own menu in consultation with us, we guarantee high-quality cuisine to suit your occasion, wonderfully presented by our professional and friendly functions team.

Catering
Food brings people together. And good food and great service make any event memorable.
Treat your guests to outstanding, innovative cuisine at Te Papa, showcasing the freshest and the best of local produce. The same care and attention is paid in catering for a gathering of 500 as you’d expect in an intimate restaurant.

Inspired dining
Executive chef, Bernd Lippmann, says Te Papa is such an extraordinary venue that it’s easy to be inspired. ‘The atmosphere you can create in each of the spaces and throughout the venue just cannot be created anywhere else,’ he says. ‘The opportunity for theming is unique.  And you are among the nation’s most beautiful, extraordinary, emotional, and creative objects.’

For a function celebrating an exhibition of 19th–20th century art from the Städel Museum, Bernd and his 20-strong team of chefs created a German marketplace with four food stalls – a fishmonger, butcher, delicatessen and a cake shop. For another function, they created an 11-course degustation menu featuring wagyu beef finished with 80-year-old balsamic vinegar and ending with a white Toblerone mousse. A function for the All Blacks and French rugby teams included sugar statues of Richie McCaw and Sebastian Chabal shaking hands.
