Snags, burgers, prawns. Snags, burgers, prawns. Snags, burgers, prawns. It doesn’t matter how many barbecues you go to this summer, we bet you see the same tried and tested recipes time and time again. Why? Because in Australia, that’s what we do so well. But wouldn’t it be great if your barbecue were a little bit different? That’s where barbecue catering comes in.
As the sun rears its head again, nothing beats a barbecue to celebrate…well, pretty much anything! But rather than serving up the usual suspects, people are increasingly looking to barbecue catering to take their occasion to the next level, whether it’s a corporate event, birthday barbecue or simply a special family get-together. With barbecue catering, there’s not a charcoaled snag or boring salad in sight. Instead, your guests can tuck into beautiful seasonal produce, prepared with a mix of spices and flavours to really get the tastebuds fired up.

Barbecue catering is also a great solution for guests with dietary requirements. With all the store-bought marinades, sauces and dressings, it can be tough for guests with a food allergy or intolerance to work out what they can eat. Often the host can lose track or might not know what is suitable for which diet. And the last thing you want is to face the consequences of someone eating something they shouldn’t. With barbecue catering, they can be catered for easily. Barbecue catering chefs can create a special menu to meet every single dietary need and personal preference, so everyone can kick back and relax.
Gourmet BBQ Catering at Your Doorstep
So what is gourmet barbecue catering exactly? Well, quite simply, it means bringing together the best ingredients with tastebud tickling flavours in more complex dishes than you would normally dare to cook on a barbecue. But the true cornerstone of gourmet barbecue catering is good quality seasonal produce.

These homemade crunch delights are so addictive. Perfect with your antipasto or dips or just on their own.
With barbecue season, there is always something to look forward to and discover. Living in the food hub of Australia (well, we think so), we’re lucky that we can source heaps of fresh and in-season ingredients to really grill up a feast.
Meat is still a big favourite on the barbecue, but it can be expensive to buy good steaks and meat for all your guests. That’s where gourmet barbecue cateringcomes in. At an affordable price, your guests can enjoy lamb and rosemary sausages, tangy tomato and chipotle chilli chicken kebabs, and Mediterranean marinated porterhouse steak. Seafood is always a crowd pleaser, so gourmet barbeque catering also provides the freshest fish with tangy summery flavour, such as lime, coriander and ginger fish fillets. Yum. And of course, there are always tasty options for vegetarian and gluten free guests.

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