We design memorable hospitality experiences of all different shapes and sizes, covering everything from menu and dietary requirements, drinks and bar service, venue layout, to guest count and run times.

The kitchen team is the driving force behind all things delicious at Food Envy. Our menus were developed and tested to suit different types of events with the ability to scale without compromising on taste or quality.
Our chefs come from all different backgrounds in hospitality, local and abroad. They are proud to offer your guests a taste of what Wellington has to offer by showcasing seasonal produce from local suppliers and producers.
For each event, a kitchen team is selected and led by our senior chefs, working closely with the event managers to coordinate a seamless food service.

The operations team plays a vital role in the execution of our events. They are responsible for the logistic and functional elements, paying attention to the finer details. They manage infrastructure and equipment, vendors and suppliers, health and safety, and company policies around quality control, risk mitigation and sustainability.
Our responsibility as a business to minimise our environmental impact is led by our operations team. We prioritise choices that align with our values for both events and daily operations, from sourcing sustainable options for our consumables, to reducing waste and implementing efficient processes and procedures.

Our front of house teams are handpicked and led by our event managers, ensuring a consistent high standard of service at all our events. Event managers, waiters, duty managers, and bartenders are charged per hour, at a minimum of 4 hours.
At each event our staff will:
Our staff also know how to handle a good time. Our bartenders and duty managers are meticulously trained in liquor laws as part of our catering on licence, ensuring guests are always hosted and served responsibly.
Our licence
Our catering on licence allows us to supply and serve alcohol at a venue of your choice. As part of our licence, our bartenders and duty managers are fully trained to ensure guests are always hosted and served responsibly.
Bar set up
We are able to set up a fully stocked bar with everything required, including duty manager and bartenders, glassware, ice, refrigeration, drink displays and recycling for bottles and cans.
On consumption
Our event managers will select beverages from our menu and will quote a sufficient supply for the duration of the event. Concluding the event, a stock take is done on the remaining beverages and we invoice for what was consumed.
Cash bar
We can supply a fully stocked bar for the event and take payments from your guests on our portable till system. A minimum spend per customer applies when operating a cash bar.
Our drinks menu
We’ve highlighted local brands on our drinks menu, especially from all the great breweries we have to choose from in Wellington. To pair with our food, is our wine list that was specially curated by Wine Sentience, the only Master of Wine and sommelier team in Wellington.
Non-alcoholic drinks
We have a wide selection of non-alcoholic and low alcohol options. We always promote a responsible service and we are more than happy to include bespoke requests to expand on this range for your event.
We have a wealth of experience catering at venues and locations that requires equipment to be hired. We can provide as little or as much as you need, from simple table settings, to furniture and seating, or entire satellite kitchens for food service on site. We can also work with stylists, florists and designers to ensure the venue reflects your vision.
We partner with trusted suppliers with high quality equipment. We manage the hire, delivery, pack in and pack out process for you as part of our service.
Our event managers often do site visits to determine the level of equipment required due to the varying facilities at each venue. This is done in collaboration with our kitchen and operations teams to ensure all aspects of your event are covered.
As a commercial operation, we are conscious of the impact and influence we have on our community and customers. Many of our business decisions are considered with environmental impact in mind.
We are committed to:
As a business that engages with countless other organisations, providers and suppliers, we believe it’s our responsibility to lead these initiatives and are always looking for ways to minimise our impact. We welcome any feedback or suggestions in improving our sustainability policy.
