Little bread loaf catering

Let us take care of your next event!

Whether you’re hosting a morning meeting, celebrating a special event, or feeding a crowd, Little Bread Loaf’s catering brings the flavour and handmade goodness we’re known for.

From rēwena rolls to cinnamon buns, we deliver handcrafted kai for gatherings of 10 to 300 people across the Wellington region and Lower Hutt CBD.

Rēwena bread is a traditional Māori Sourdough bread, and we are proud to be the only commercial bakery in Wellington to offer this. We have trusted relationships with our local fresh produce market gardeners. Our salads and fruit pots are created with seasonal produce purchased from these markets and growers. We bake our sweet treats in our bakery, all made from scratch without pre-mixed ingredients or preservatives

We offer flexible, end-to-end catering tailored to your needs. Need serving staff? A prep team? Just the food? We can do it all.

Catering options

Our catering menu features a rotating selection of handmade options using seasonal produce and locally sourced ingredients. All items are made from scratch at our Alicetown hole-in-the-wall bakery.

Individual Boxed Meals

Individually packed and ready to go, perfect for meetings, corporate events, or on-the-go functions and can also be served as platters. We proudly offer Vogel’s Gluten Free bread; however, please note that gluten is present in our bakery.

  • Smoked chicken and slaw rēwena bap with orzo pesto and feta salad, fruit pot, and chocolate chip cookie

Morning, Lunch, Afternoon Tea Spreads

Perfect for shared gatherings or more casual occasions, our morning and afternoon tea options are served platter-style, making them ideal for meetings, celebrations, and events where guests can help themselves.

Unlike our individually packed boxed lunches, these are made to be enjoyed collectively and can be easily customised to suit your group.
