Cocktail catering in Melbourne, delivered. Your Private Chef caters Melbourne cocktail events — canapes, food stations, grazing tables, hot and cold finger food — with restaurant-grade food cooked in our Caulfield kitchen. Beautifully presented for stand-up grazing-style events. Quote in one business day with a tailored cocktail menu plan.
Cocktail catering is designed for stand-up, social, grazing-style events. Guests circulate, food circulates, no one sits down for a course-by-course meal. The catering needs to look beautiful, taste consistent across the night, and accommodate dietary needs invisibly. Your Private Chef caters Melbourne cocktail events from a single Caulfield kitchen — same five-star chef standard across hot and cold finger food, beautifully presented on grazing tables or stations. For premium cocktail events (typically 100+) we can also arrange wait staff to serve canapes directly to guests.

Every Your Private Chef booking is built from a blank page. We do not recycle set menus — we ask about your guests, your venue, the kind of night you want, and we design the food around that. Fourteen years operating from our Caulfield kitchen, over two thousand catering events served across Melbourne, full public liability and food safety compliance, 400+ verified customer reviews. Trusted regularly with corporate cocktail receptions, weddings, milestone celebrations, premium product launches, and after-work functions across Melbourne.
Because our chefs stay in the kitchen rather than being shipped to events one at a time, we hold a consistent five-star standard at every booking and pass the efficiency back to you in honest pricing. You are not paying for chef travel time and downtime. You are paying for great food, properly delivered.
Your Private Chef delivers across the City of Melbourne and the surrounding metro area — from the CBD and Southbank through to Caulfield (our kitchen base), South Yarra, Toorak, Brighton, Hawthorn, Carlton, Fitzroy, Richmond, Docklands, and most established Melbourne suburbs. For events further out — Mornington Peninsula, Yarra Valley, the Dandenongs — call us on 0497 333 100 for a tailored delivery quote.
