"The Surface Coatings Association New Zealand celebrated 75 years at their recent convention in Blenheim. The highlight was the Gala Dinner at Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre. What a backdrop for the evening among the WW2 exhibitions, superbly looked after by the staff and the caterers at Feast Merchants. From the initial contact to the end of the event, our every wish was catered for, and nothing was too much trouble. Couldn't recommend highly enough to anyone looking to host an event here." - Kathryn Debenham, Secretariat, May 2026.

At the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre, we are proud to partner with Feast Merchants, a boutique catering company led by husband-and-wife team, Rory and Fran King. Known for their creativity and passion, they transform every occasion into an unforgettable dining experience.

From intimate dinner experiences to large-scale corporate functions, Feast Merchants craft menus that reflect the spirit of each event. Their inspiration comes from world travels, cultural influences, and a deep appreciation for fresh, locally sourced ingredients. This ensures every dish is not only delicious but also supports local producers.

With years of experience in some of New Zealand’s top restaurants, Rory and Fran bring a personal, professional touch to every menu they design. Their goal is simple: to create food that your guests will remember long after the event has ended.
