About Southern Kai

Made In The Deep South.

A commercial kitchen feeding Southland - catering for workplaces and events, and wholesome frozen meals delivered to your door.

Our Story

Good Food, Done Properly

Southern Kai is a commercial catering company and meal kitchen based on Gala Street in Invercargill. We cook fresh every day for workplaces, events and homes right across Southland - from corporate platters and workplace lunches to wholesome single-serve meals delivered frozen.

Everything comes out of our MPI-registered commercial kitchen, made with quality local ingredients and a straightforward belief: good food shouldn't be complicated to order. So we built a way to do it online - see your pricing upfront, lock it in, and let us handle the rest.

Whether we're feeding a worksite, a hospital, a hui or your family this week, we bring the same care to every order.
