This month we indulged in a family mid-week break to a place whispered to be Australia’s food capital. Yep, you’ve guessed it – Melbourne. Okay, we only live 4km away from the city, but oh how we ate!

What we ate: Just about everything! While grandma and David dutifully made our way through the seafood, Ana enjoyed the amazing seasonal veggies and all the vegetable curries. We all loved our tailor-made freshly wokked stirfries and, while we’re not normally sweet-toothed, we loved seeing the amazing presentation of the desserts.

What we drank: We ordered the Grappa but they were out, so we settled on some single malt scotch instead. Yes it was Wednesday lunchtime, what’s your point?

Best bits: The very impressive show of naan bread-making and, of course, tucking into this soft chewy Indian bread afterwards.

Worse bits: Getting a little too adventurous with the pickled chilli on the Indian station. It can only be described as old-sock-meets-chilli-paste.

Good for: Very hungry people, business lunch, catch up with friends, special occasions.

Don’t leave without: Staying for High Tea at the Langham – this family friendly affair has an impressive array of desserts and house teas. Lots of little tots in princess outfits and superman apprentices were seen in the lobby that day!

We Deliver Across Melbourne

From our Caulfield kitchen, we deliver catering to suburbs all across Melbourne — including East Warburton · Cairnlea · Wallan · Brunswick West · Bayside · Deer Park and dozens more.

How Your Private Chef Helps You with Buffet Catering

If you’re planning Buffet Catering in Melbourne and want it handled properly, we make it straightforward. You tell us about your event — guest count, date, location, dietary needs — and we design a custom menu around your guests. Our chefs cook everything in our Caulfield commercial kitchen and we deliver it beautifully presented in eco-friendly platters, ready to serve.

You don’t need to source ingredients, hire a chef, or worry about cleanup. You take the lid off, use your own tongs, and serve. For larger events (typically 80+), we can also arrange chafing dishes, grazing styling, and service staff — quoted separately based on your event.

We’ve spent fourteen years catering Melbourne events — corporate functions, weddings, milestone celebrations, family dinners, and everything in between. Over two thousand events served, four hundred verified customer reviews, full public liability and food safety compliance. The food is the same restaurant-grade craft every time, because our chefs stay in the kitchen rather than getting shipped to events one at a time.
