Te Wharekai
The Home of Food
Commercial Kitchen. Natural Setting.
Our beloved Wharekai is designed to harmonize with the natural setting that surrounds it. This space not only serves as a hub for food preparation but also as an educational centre where visitors can learn about the benefits of using locally sourced, organic ingredients.
This space has seen many events over the past decade, and continues to deliver a premium and humble experience for guests of all types.
Equipped with a fully-certified commercial kitchen, this offers a large 6-burner stove, oven, plenty of counter space, commercial dishwashing facilities, two bathrooms, seating area, tea/coffee facilities, and plenty of crockery/cookware to suit your needs.
We offer Te Wharekai as a rental for our event guests, or we provide in-house catering for Mangaroa vegetables, meat and artisan products, fresh from the farm.
Te Wharekai is an integral part of the farm’s mission to promote resilience, wellbeing, and connection to food in every dish prepared within its walls. By fostering a deep appreciation for wholesome food and regenerative practices, Mangaroa Farms aims to cultivate a community that values living in harmony with nature.
