What our customers are saying...
“We ran a one-day women's retreat for 40 women and asked Donna from Picnic Box to cater the day, from breakfast and snacks through to lunch and afternoon tea. We wanted to keep the food healthy, nutritious, and in keeping with the type of food women should be eating. Not only did Donna hit the brief, she superseded it. The attention to detail in all of the meals was incredible, her display of the food was beautiful, and the timing of everything was spot on.
All the ladies loved the food and were asking for recipes at the end of the day, especially the incredible protein cookies! Donna also kindly did a little cooking display, which was fun and interactive. I cannot recommend Picnic Box enough for catering and, in general, their boxes. I have ordered numerous times for girls' nights, Valentine's Day with my husband, and even dinner with friends when no one could be bothered cooking — it was always delicious and super easy.
We are lucky to have such an awesome option in the Bay of Islands! Thank you!!"
