Kai connections Great places to forge workplace bonds

By Timmi Aplin-Barrett

Office meals can be a great way of bringing your organisation together. Christchurch is full of great places to eat and order from.

However, finding a place that makes great food, can bring it to the office and who can bring a bit of flare to food can be a bit of a challenge.

Events and functions are stressful enough to organise without adding that to your place – pun intended.

To take the stress out of your next function, we’ve compiled a collection of some great eateries and caterers.
