So before you leave home, take some time to think about catering for your time away on holiday. Buying some boxed barbeque hampers or marinated meats can save you time and make for a wonderful holiday cookout. If you’re more of a grazer, or are having a social function, get some platters of finger food to pass around to your guests – sausages are cheap and great, while spring rolls can be good for vegetarians. Everyone will appreciate your forethought and keeping your friends and family well-nourished will reduce grumblings and disagreements. It’s a good idea to make sure that you know what cooking facilities you’ll have available on holiday, so you don’t buy anything you can’t use.

Travel and dining are two of the greatest joys in life, and they complement each other superbly. In addition to stocking up on food before you go away, have a look to see if your destination offers any specialty dishes. Australia is studded with some remarkable wineries, so it can be good to research the vineyards near where you’re travelling. But even if you’re not a gourmet tourist, finding some filling food for your holiday is still a crucial factor, and something you’ll severely regret if you forget about it. Celebrate your special time away with a proper feast, so that everything goes just right.

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.
