When it comes to a client lunch or a corporate Christmas party, there’s a lot of pressure on the organiser to make sure people remember your event for all the right reasons. The good news is that all the rules you need to follow for your corporate Christmas parties are the same rules you should be following all year round with your corporate catering.

Australia has one of the highest allergy prevalence rates in the world. And food intolerance is even more common. Surveys indicate that up to 25% of the population believe they have some sort of food intolerance. So the chances are that one in four of your guests have some kind of allergy or intolerance. Ultimately, it’s the individual’s responsibility to know what they can and cannot eat, but there’s nothing worse than turning up at an event or meeting only to be greeted by one soulless, bland menu item. The solution? Know your guests and their preferences before placing the catering order. And make sure your chosen caterer cannot only provide a menu to suit everything from lactose intolerance to vegan – but that every menu option is packed full of flavour!

How Your Private Chef Helps You with Cocktail Catering
If you’re planning Cocktail 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.
