It’s hard to believe it’s July already – it seems like only yesterday we were talking about Christmas, summer holidays, and our resolutions. Before you know it, we’ll probably be talking about Christmas again.

Enjoy a traditional feast with Christmas in July food
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Christmas?
If you’re anything like us, your answer was probably presents, trees, and food.
Food is a huge part of what makes Christmas special. Now, just because we don’t experience a traditional white Christmas like our friends in the northern hemisphere, doesn’t mean we won’t find an excuse not to!

Enjoy a vegetarian Christmas feast
At Your Private Chef, we believe everybody is entitled to a great meal, especially when it’s an occasion as big as Christmas (in July).
Our Christmas menu also features vegetarian options made from tofu turkey loaves, guaranteed to impress your vegetarian guests. Our organic meat-free loaves are stuffed with a homemade herb filling and is covered in a crunchy marinated tofu exterior.
Don’t forget your Christmas sides!
There’s nothing more rewarding than making the entire Christmas meal by yourself, from scratch. Trust us, we know.
The only is that this is a serious amount of work.
We understand not everybody has the patience for that… especially since Christmas in July doesn’t come with a 2-week holiday!

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