Native Kitchen
A produce-driven private chef experience inspired by Aotearoa New Zealand.
Native Kitchen Philosophy
Founded by Chef Craig, Native Kitchen brings together refined technique, ingredient integrity, and understated hospitality to create deeply connected dining experiences that celebrate both land and ocean.
Rather than traditional restaurant dining, Native Kitchen is designed around curated hospitality experiences — intimate, immersive, and storytelling-led.
The visual and culinary identity of Native Kitchen reflects a quieter form of luxury: one grounded in craftsmanship, atmosphere, nature, and meaningful connection through food.
With over 25 years of experience in luxury hospitality, Craig Martin creates refined private dining experiences across alpine lodges, international estates, and private residences.
Grounded in provenance, seasonality, and ingredient integrity, his approach combines exceptional New Zealand produce with refined global influence inspired by Europe and Asia.
Bespoke dining. Ingredient-led hospitality. International perspective.
