Paddock to Plate Waikato sources the finest local and seasonal produce to showcase the region’s world-class cuisine exquisitely prepared by Master Chef and 2020/21 Beef + Lamb New Zealand Ambassador Chef Tejas Nikam.

Seasonality and supporting of our local community through the celebration and promotion of the excellence of Waikato produce are central to our philosophy at Paddock to Plate Waikato.

We’re passionate about cooking with local, seasonal ingredients and love how they can inspire new dishes. Not only do fresh, in-season ingredients enhance flavour, they are also great for you and their consumption minimises impact on the environment.
