Showcasing Canterbury cuisine: Te Pae general manager Ross Steele

Conferences bring people together from all corners of the globe, and when delegates visit Te Pae Christchurch, we aim to give them a true taste of Canterbury.

Our food and beverage offerings are an amazing opportunity to showcase the rich produce and culinary excellence our region is known for.

Recently, we unveiled our new menu at Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre, inviting clients and industry partners to taste some of our new signature dishes. Canterbury boasts a wealth of artisan producers who take great pride in their products, and rightly so. At this launch event, our passionate local producers, including Akaroa Salmon, Lumina Lamb, Poaka Pork and local beverage suppliers, shared their stories and products directly with our clients in a Farmers Market setting. Their enthusiasm was infectious, creating an excitement that showcased their premium products and the unique flavours of our region.

Te Pae Christchurch has been part of our community for over two years now, and as a regeneration project, it has made a significant impact. It’s not just about bringing people to our city to connect; it’s about providing a platform for our local producers to reach a wider audience. This connection instils a sense of pride as they contribute to the ongoing rejuvenation of Canterbury through their partnership with Te Pae Christchurch.

Canterbury is truly a food lover’s paradise, and it is our privilege to present the very best of what our region has to offer to the world through our new menu. We remain committed to sourcing our ingredients from local farmers and producers, and we’re excited for visitors to taste our delicious new dishes.
