Welcome to the 18th Annual Waikato Culinary Fare
Thursday 29 and Friday 30 June 2023
Wintec has proudly held the Waikato Culinary Fare, in partnership with Cater Plus, since 2004.
It has been exciting to see such an increase in involvement from secondary schools, tertiary
providers, and the hospitality industry, both in the Waikato and across New Zealand.
The Waikato Culinary Fare has grown to become the largest regional competition of its type
in New Zealand. This is made possible by the support of the event sponsors and the wider
hospitality industry. The event committee remain appreciative of this backing and encourage
you to support them in return.
This event allows our emerging hospitality stars to compete, gaining valuable skills and
experience through participation. It is also an opportunity for the hospitality industry to come
together under one roof, celebrating the sector at the leading-edge training facility at Wintec.
We wish all competitors the best of luck and look forward to seeing your skills and innovation
shine through your efforts.
On behalf of the team at the Wintec Centre for Hospitality, we acknowledge all who have
contributed to the Waikato Culinary Fare.

Waikato Culinary Fare Trust Committee
We would like to welcome all the competitors, teachers, families, and supporters to the Waikato
Culinary Fare.
The trust committee continues to be impressed with the overall high standard of skills that the
competitors display and the fantastic support and guidance their tutors and teachers give them.
The fare has grown each year, and that is due to your continued support. We acknowledge the
help and assistance from our teams of judges, Wintec hospitality tutors, the Wintec technician
team, all our sponsors and contributors. These people give their time generously so our students
can experience the fun of competing — we thank you.
We hope you enjoy the event, and we welcome any feedback you may have.
