Dinner Options

Our chefs can pretty much do anything.

If you give us a theme, a budget, a culinary type, the type of service you would like (ie stand up, sit down or a combination of both), along with your menu requirements (ie share courses or al la carte) I am confident we can deliver food beyond your expectations.

The costs are approximate, but we have made a few suggestions according to dishes that we have delivered in the past. If there is a particular cut of meat, a type of salad, sauce, side dish or starch that you want, please do not hesitate to ask. If we are able to source your preferred menu, we are happy to look into it and get back to you with pricing.

Here are some of the courses we can deliver at our approximate pricing:

Bread - $3/head

Can be served as individual bread rolls with butter curls or as baskets for your guests to share around (served with flavoured butters, balsamic vinegar and olive oil).

Bread can be any variety you would like (and will be mixed breads if you choose a basket style). A good idea would be an alternate drop grain baguette and white baguette, this will ensure your guests can choose what they want.

Entrée – from $6 - $25/head

$8/Head

Each guest can have their own small antipasto platter or we can do share style in the centre of the table.
