Weddings

Lovely Grub caters for around 30 weddings per year, many we consider as 'destination' weddings. This specialist work requires high service levels delivered in many unusual and remote locations. We often coordinate the marquee and complete range of hire equipment including bar facilities.

Corporate catering

Lovely Grub also specialises in client dinners or luncheons, field days or product launches and venue openings. They can be either a special day or at a major event like the South Island Field Days or the Canterbury A&P Show. Service usually involves a morning & afternoon tea with some sort of luncheon.  Cafe, beverage and bar services can be supplied. The many and varied locations we operate at require strongly focused attention to the logistical detail of service and supply.
