“Mō te kai, mō te hononga, mō te mātauranga”
~ For the love of food, the NEED for connection and the gift of knowledge.
That is our why. And regardless of anything going on around us, we will always, always stand on the foundation that we have built our pakihi upon. We will always listen to our hearts and do what we believe is best.
We believe in unity, we choose to lead with love and we just cannot implement a system or process that segregates and causes division. It goes against our values, beliefs and instincts
In saying that, Hauora is of utmost importance. Taha wairua, taha hinengaro, taha whānau me taha tinana.
We want to enhance the mauri of those we are connected to. We do not want to be apart of anything that diminishes the mana of anyone. We have our own plans, ideas, paths and visions around how we choose to move forward.
Kai Connoisseurs is going to transform, evolve and pivot.
So…
From Friday the 3rd of December Kai Connoisseurs Café will close to the public and will operate at all levels as a contactless Catering, Takeaway Kai & Community focused Company.
As a venue we will be available for private bookings / functions with safety measures in place including full cleaning and sanitising in between roopu.
Our catering crew is fully vaccinated, we are also completely respectful of anyone’s decision not to be and will serve everyone with love as we always have.
We will be closing until Tuesday 7th Dec (except for the confirmed catering events we have in the calendar) to prepare our beautiful whare kai for this transition.
We have some deliciously exciting packages to launch next week! And we are super excited to introduce them to you ALL!
* We know that everyone has plenty to say. Please be kind, we’ve not made this decision lightly.
Aroha nui
Kai Connoisseurs
