Breakfasts that start the day right

Host private room breakfasts with The Maritime Rooms daytime brunch services instead: barista coffee, fresh-pressed juices and chef-led menus that keep things light, seasonal and energising. Perfect for leadership briefings, client catch-ups and early project kick-offs in our private dining rooms. Choose plated or shared breakfast formats, add a short presentation, and still have everyone at their desks by mid-morning. Trust us for premium private room hire for morning hosting in the Auckland CBD.

Dining that defines the occasion

Our kitchen creates refined menus for shared plates or formal courses, matched with curated wines and premium beverages. With polished service and timing that suits your run sheet, we’re among the best private dinner venues Auckland CBD has to offer when food and presentation matter.

“Our event went well, I would say we would have had close to 200+ people.”

Thanks to Lea and your staff. The food was great, and the evening was enjoyed by all. We would look to use the Maritime Function Centre again for future functions.
