How far do you travel?

Two hundred kilometres from each kitchen — the same radius we buy our produce from. If your venue is further, ask anyway; sometimes the vans feel adventurous.

Can you cook without a kitchen on site?

Yes. Fire, gas and everything else travels with us — we need flat ground, access for one van, and somewhere to wash hands.

How do dietaries work?

The enquiry form takes your dietary notes, and every set menu bends around them — allergies are cooked on separate boards with separate tools.

When is the price final?

After we confirm venue access and headcount. The per-guest price covers food and standard service; travel, staffing and hire appear as their own lines.

Our kitchens travel.

Wood fire, slow dough, and quiet ceremony — packed, driven, and rebuilt at your venue by the same hands that cook at ours.

The House Rule

If we can drive it in a day, we can serve it.

Every catering job begins the same way dinner at Ikigailand does: with what the growers within two hundred kilometres are picking that week. Your menu is built from that morning's list — never from a frozen catalogue.

Bambua brings the calm, Sip & Bite the brightness, Smoke & Dough the fire. One brief tells us which of our three kitchens — or all of them — should come to you.

Occasions

One brief, four ways to feed it.

Tell us what the day is for and we shape the pace, the tables and the fire around it.

Weddings
Long tables, shared platters, and a service team that knows when to disappear. We have fed two hundred under trees and twelve in a living room.
Plan this occasion
Corporate
Boardroom lunches to end-of-year parties. Tight timings, dietary matrices, and invoices that behave — we speak fluent operations.
