Private & Corporate Catering
Yay! It’s time to celebrate! Do you have a special occasion to celebrate and don’t want to be stuck in the kitchen? That’s where Nick, Julie and the Hunter Valley Catering team come in.
Private Catering
In-House Chef (In-Home or In-Accommodation):
It’s time to sit back, relax and actually enjoy your special event. We look after everything from setting the table, to the washing up. We can provide a feast to impress any guest, from roaming canapés to a piggy menu or paella.
From an intimate dinner with friends after a day of wine tasting in the Hunter Valley, to a show stopping event with a few hundred guests, we can select the perfect menu to compliment and elevate your experience.
Minimum numbers are required. Please note pricing is based on an equipped kitchen, and availability of crockery and cutlery.
Drop and Go Catering:
We can supply locals and guests of the Hunter Valley with a range of drop and go catering options including our BBQ packs, hampers, and breakfast options.
Some Private Events we have catered:
Engagement Parties
Birthdays
