Our buffet catering will fill you and your guests right up
Our chefs and staff will put on a tantalising display in front of you and your guests. Our Melbourne based team of chefs use only the freshest ingredients and butcher all our meats, go to market for specialty seafood, prepare all sides and menu items. Our buffet catering is a great, casual way to entertain whilst you mingle with friends or even corporate clients. Once your mouth watering package is cooked to perfection, you will be invited to dine with the buffet in beautiful polished stainless steel bain marees. These keep the menu items at optimal temperature. Your chosen selection of hot and cool sides are then complimented aside the main buffet with sauces and condiments alike. It is great entertainment, great food and a day to remember.
With this package we provide a fabulous chef(s)* to cook and wait staff* to serve your guests. We bring platters, napkins, bain maree equipment, plates and cutlery.*
Want to add a few Canapés? Our Canapes on Arrival menu can be added as a casual entrée/starter before guests enjoy the main Buffet. These will be circulated around by our staff and you can select a combination of cool & hot options to really get your event started and give your guests a taste of what’s to come.
All of our amazing canapés and menu items are designed and hand made by us. Meaning you will be fed and fed great flavoursome food.
