🌿 Wild Encounters, Gourmet Moments 🐘

A hippo yawns in the distance… the water stills, the breeze shifts, and something quietly exquisite begins aboard the houseboat.
Kariba Catering supplies the rhythm behind the ritual — fresh provisions that allow chefs to mirror the magic of the lake. As wildlife stirs and stories unfold, each moment becomes a sensory experience, shaped by nature and nurtured by care.

🛥️ From sunrise silhouettes to moonlit reflections, we’re proud to be part of the journey.

A heartfelt message from Kariba Catering – The Hatch and Criselle

To those who’ve shared thoughts, memories, or concerns—we hear you. Criselle Cowell and Kariba Catering – Hatch extend their sincerest apologies to anyone who felt upset or offended. The recent comments have been received with care and reflection. This revival was never meant to cause pain, but to lovingly celebrate a cherished tradition from the past.
Their intention has always been to honour a legacy—not replace it—by sharing a recipe that once brought joy to many.
Reviving a cherished legacy—now with a heartfelt twist
Years ago, Polly’s Ice Cream Parlour was known for its legendary pies—made famous through a beloved family tradition. When Polly’s closed, the tradition quietly faded.
In 2016, with deep admiration and gratitude, Criselle took up the recipe shared by Cindy Tantam, reviving the beloved pies with heartfelt dedication. For the past six months, these handcrafted pies have been lovingly offered through the generous support of Kariba Catering – Hatch, who share in Criselle’s passion to bring back this nostalgic flavour of the past.
Out of respect for the Winsor family and the emotional ties to the original name, the pies will now be offered as Criselle’s Pies—same recipe, same heart, now under a name that reflects the journey forward.
A tradition reborn. A legacy remembered. A pie you’ll never forget.

🍮 A Toast to Sweet Moments

As the laughter fades and the lake settles into twilight, dessert takes center stage—not flashy, but deeply familiar. Comforting classics, chilled delights, and a hint of surprise make each evening’s finale feel personal and indulgent.

✨ Think slow-melting scoops, golden puddings, crumbly warmth, and vibrant fruit—each softened with a creamy cascade. And always, a warm cup of coffee to bring it all together. Steady, grounding, the last chord in a well-loved melody.

Menus are thoughtfully planned ahead, but flexible to your preferences. Whether it’s dietary needs or a special craving, our sweet endings are tailored to suit each retreat, reunion, or lakeside celebration.
