Moffat Christchurch Town Hall brings back the theater of cooking


After three years of painstaking restoration work and strengthening upgrades to fix damage sustained during the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake, one of New Zealand’s most iconic performance spaces – Christchurch Town Hall – reopened again to the public in 2019. Now the stage is set for more incredible performances from the venue’s kitchens too. This refurbishment was to include additional

He knows how important the equipment is for ensuring ease of use, meeting food safety standards and delivering quality menus. “You have to have the math done right and have complete accuracy in your cooking, particularly with big events. So, we need constant airflow and consistent temperatures – which this new equipment gives us.” moffat.com
