Toni and Hugh, both qualified chefs decided to expand their horizons and head towards the bright lights and culinary traditions of Europe. Time for an adventure! And that it was, cooking in some of the most incredible locations in the world.
Landing in the UK they first got introduced to the road working for EYHO. Anyone who has worked in the touring music industry knows Kim and the legendary reputation of her company. After 7 years learning the ways of the road from her Toni and Hugh branched out on their own, with their first contract being the Red Hot Chili Peppers European Tour 2006. Upbeat Food was born.
This contract established them as a company with great food, friendly staff and a hard work ethic, landing them more contracts touring the UK, Australasia, and Europe with legends such as REM, the Eagles, Metallica, Rush, Bob Dylan, Sting, Ben Harper, Neil Finn and many more.
All good things come to an end and The Land of The Long White Cloud lured Toni and Hugh back to a beautiful lifestyle block where they could have an organic garden and a menagerie of animals. Unpacking their chefs’ knives and gaffa tape from their well-travelled flight cases. Upbeat Food home now on New Zealand whenua hope to feed you, your artists and crew at a stadium, arena or theatre soon.
