The quiet art of feeding schools well
From the great Kiwi breakfast to Sunday roasts, Ovation delivers warm, reliable hospitality to New Zealand’s independent schools.
We make meals that do more than meet clinical standards. They nourish, yes – but they also comfort, reassure, and remind people they’re in good hands. Every plate balances nutritional know-how with the warmth of real hospitality, tailored to the changing needs of patients and residents alike.
Working with Ovation is a real pleasure. Our residents – many of whom live alone – look forward to meal times as a chance to connect. Socialisation happens mostly over the food, so it’s not just about what’s on the plate – it’s the warmth and friendliness of the catering team that truly makes the difference.

No launch party. No song and dance. Just 1,250 staff and a clear idea of what good hospitality looks like.
Ovation’s new initiative aims to bring the taste, memory and mana of Māori and Pasifika dishes to hospital kitchens across New Zealand.
