A Unique Cocktail-Paired Long Lunch Experience

A sun-soaked table, long conversations, grazing delights and bespoke cocktails served with smiles — welcome to Lemon Pie’s Long Lunch Cocktail Experience.

A Daytime Celebration, Reimagined

Lemon Pie Events offers a fully hosted Long Lunch Cocktail Experience — combining premium mobile bar service, seasonal catering and beautifully styled grazing tables for private groups, hens parties, birthdays, corporate events and destination celebrations across Otago and the South Island.

Top destinations include venues across Queenstown, Wānaka, Central Otago, and Dunedin - or simply host it in your backyard!

We’ve taken everything you love about handcrafted cocktails and paired it with relaxed, lingering lunch vibes. This is more than a drink-and-chat — it’s an elevated social experience where fresh flavours, stylish cocktails and good company are the focus.

Perfect for birthdays, hen’s parties, corporate celebrations, bach weekends or simply a Sunday in good company. We bring this experience to you — fully styled, beautifully presented and delicious.

What Is a Long Lunch Cocktail Experience?

Person serving themselves food from a buffet table with various dishes including sliced meats, salad, and skewered grilled meat.

Our Long Lunch Cocktail Experience is a relaxed, fully serviced daytime event designed for groups who want something elevated, social and beautifully executed.

We bring the mobile bar (optional), professional servers, cocktail menu, glassware, grazing food and styling to your chosen venue — whether that’s a private residence in Queenstown, a vineyard in Wānaka, a holiday home in Cromwell or an event venue anywhere in the South Island.

It’s ideal for:

• Hen’s parties in Queenstown
• Birthday long lunches in Wānaka
• Corporate client hosting in Central Otago
• Wedding weekend pre-events
• Destination celebrations in the South Island
