who we are
We're hospitality people, plain and simple — our passion for the industry is at the heart of everything we do. We take pride in crafting menus that celebrate Wellington's finest produce and producers, while showcasing classic dishes and techniques. Our dedicated team is committed to providing an unparalleled experience for our guests, blending exquisite local food and beverages with impeccable service standards.
Our Story
The Food Lab began in 2020, just weeks before the world came to a halt. With humble roots as a prep kitchen for iconic restaurant Charley Noble, we quickly adapted to the changing times, offering high-quality at-home boxes and drop-off meals that garnered us a loyal following.
As we continued to grow, we expanded our services to include corporate catering: providing lunches, platters, and delivered hot meals to businesses all around Wellington. Our commitment to culinary excellence and exceptional service led us to specialise in large-scale events, where we can truly showcase our passion for creating unforgettable experiences.
In 2023, we were honoured to become the Preferred Caterer for Venues Wellington, giving us the opportunity to combine our expertise with stunning backdrops to create extraordinary events. Today, we remain dedicated to pushing the boundaries of hospitality and celebrating the incredible produce and producers of our region.

We offer versatile menus to suit various events, including corporate lunches, private events, and special gatherings.
Our team works diligently to create a tailored culinary experience for you and your guests.
