2026 — A New Year, A Fresh Direction 🫶🏻

With growth comes change, and wow… we’ve grown.
From a small catering business to a team of 10+ staff, a much larger kitchen, making 600 school lunches, serving hundreds through our shop, and catering events all over — it’s been an incredible journey.

In 2025, we explored opening a café-style wing alongside our catering. While we gave it a go, it never quite felt like us. After some time, reflection, and a lot of whakaaro over summer, I realised it was time to fully align our business with what we truly love and do best.

So here’s the shift ✨
Our shop is now a showroom for our catering — showcasing the kai we create for events and making it available in-store. Same fresh, top-quality kai, drinks, and service — just in a way that truly reflects Catering Box.

What this means for you:
Smaller portions, more affordable pricing ☺️
Still the same quality, care, and flavour you know us for.

We’re not a café — we’re Catering Box, with an in-store space that celebrates what we do best 💁🏼‍♀️🫶🏻

To our regulars and all the new faces — haere mai, come in, check us out, and see what we’re about.

Ngā mihi nui,
Qwayd & the Catering Box Team

From early mornings to closing calls,
from catering tables laid with intention
to menus shaped by seasons, people, and place.
🌀🌈

From in-store orders and takeaway rushes
to kai wrapped with care and passed hand to hand. 🤍🌬️

From food that feeds the wairua
to food for the fast, the tired, the on-the-go.
A coffee for a mate.
A moment for yourself.
A muffin — or was it two?
Your favourite sweet, small or large?
Tall capp?
Strong flat white?
Have here or takeaway?
Something from the cabinet?
One or two?
Sweet enough today, aye?

These were our days.
These were our conversations.
These were the small exchanges that became something bigger.

No — truly — our pleasure.🤍

Thank you, 2025,
for trusting us, for choosing local,
for sharing your mornings, your breaks, your hui, your quiet moments with us.

2026 — kia rite mai.
We’re building, we’re grounding, we’re here.

With full hearts, full cabinets, and kai made with aroha. ✨🤍

Kia Ora - Hiiiii

Just a quick post to remind you all that the cafe shop is closed but I’m still doing Catering and School lunches

I’m not as crazy busy and I’m really enjoying my time with my whānau, but please give me a bell call message or email if your wanting to make an order ☺️

I’m not sitting at the shop all day everyday which means if you do want to order I’ll need abit of notice, occasionally I might be at the shop and have room to make your order but I don’t have all my staff anymore or as much stock on hand everyday so I do need some time to prepare any orders ☺️

Thank you Ngā mihi
Qwayd 🙌
