Matariki 2026

Matariki is a time to reflect, reconnect, and come together, and we've loved seeing our teams across Aotearoa embrace the occasion in so many different ways.
These photos are from our team at Southern Cross Auckland Surgical, where Phil and the team prepared a traditional oven hāngī alongside a delicious seafood chowder for the staff to celebrate.
At Cater Plus, we know food is about more than just what's on the plate. It's about bringing people together, celebrating culture, and creating moments of connection, something Matariki reflects so well.
A huge thank you to all of our teams who have embraced Matariki over the past week. We're incredibly proud of the care, creativity, and passion you bring to the people and communities we serve every day.
Mānawatia a Matariki. Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable long weekend.
