Restaurant-quality food, wherever you are.
At Soda Creek Kitchen, we craft unforgettable catering experiences for weddings, dinner parties, private events, funerals, corporate functions and more, right here in Kerikeri, in the beautiful Bay of Islands.
Led by award-winning chef Colin Ashton, our passionate team creates fresh, flavour-rich menus using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, often straight from our own garden. Whether you're after elegant canapés, indulgent Thai banquets, morning teas or beautiful desserts, we bring restaurant-quality food to your chosen venue with a fully mobile kitchen setup.
“The Bay of Islands is a pantry on our doorstep. Citrus, berries and garden vegetables grown in rich volcanic soil, and the best of each season from local growers and suppliers. We're lucky to cook with it, and we never take that for granted.”Chef Colin Ashton
Colin and Rachael are the founders of Soda Creek Kitchen, previously the creative force behind the iconic Food at Wharepuke restaurant in Kerikeri. After 10 successful years, their passion evolved into mobile catering, and Soda Creek Kitchen was born.
