Urban Gourmet

Culinary Journeys Await at New Zealand’s Premier Business Event Showcase

MEETINGS 2025 brings together top-tier event professionals from Aotearoa and abroad, one name stands out on the menu — Urban Gourmet. Celebrated for turning culinary excellence into unforgettable event experiences, this Auckland-based catering powerhouse is set to take centre stage with a fresh vision that redefines hospitality.

A Collaboration to Elevate Every Occasion

Urban Gourmet is partnering with Business Events Industry Aotearoa (BEIA) and Auckland Conventions, Venues and Events to spotlight the transformative power of collaboration in the events sector. Their goal is simple yet ambitious — to demonstrate how impeccable food, iconic venues, and expert planning can turn any gathering into something truly exceptional.

According to General Manager Andrew Methven, MEETINGS 2025 is the ideal platform to bring that vision to life. With an audience of domestic and international buyers, the event offers Urban Gourmet the opportunity to showcase not just its culinary creations, but the synergy that exists between talented vendors and world-class venues across Tāmaki Makaurau.

Crafted Menus That Tell a Story

At the heart of Urban Gourmet’s showcase is their brand-new 2025 Winter menu, curated under the creative direction of Executive Chef Jules Edmonds. Featuring the finest locally sourced ingredients, the dishes promise layered flavours, refined technique, and intentional presentation.

This is not simply a menu — it’s a journey designed to inspire, engage, and leave a lasting impression. From the smallest canapé to the grandest dessert, every detail has been carefully considered to bring guests closer to the story of the land and the passion of the team behind the plate.

More Than Catering — It’s a Culinary Identity

Urban Gourmet has spent more than 20 years creating moments of connection and celebration across Auckland’s most iconic venues. Their commitment to thoughtful hospitality, meticulous detail, and innovation continues to shape their identity in an ever-evolving industry.

Whether planning a corporate function, private celebration, or high-profile gala, their events are more than meals — they are curated experiences that reflect the modern guest’s appetite for originality, seamless service, and authenticity.

A Vision for the Future of Events

As Urban Gourmet takes part in MEETINGS 2025, their message is clear: the future of events lies in immersive storytelling, collaborative execution, and cuisine that resonates beyond the table. It’s a message that speaks to planners and participants alike — those seeking not just to host events, but to create memorable encounters.
