How Private Event Catering Works

Booking private event catering follows three steps: share your event details, choose the menu and service format, then confirm the final plan.

1. Tell Us About the Event

Share the event type, date, location, estimated guest count, menu preferences, dietary requirements and theme.

Let us know whether you need food delivery, venue setup, food presentation or professional on-site service so these requirements can be discussed from the beginning.

2. Choose the Menu and Service

Choose a personalised menu and the level of catering support required for your event.

You can review our catering menus before discussing wedding catering, birthday catering, themed dishes, afternoon tea, coffee catering, office lunches or another suitable service format.

3. Confirm the Event Plan

Confirm the agreed menu, event location, timing and selected service elements.

The catering team can then coordinate food preparation, delivery, setup, presentation and on-site service according to the agreed event brief.

Booking note: Availability depends on the event date, location, guest count, menu and selected service format. Enquire once these details are available so the catering requirements can be discussed.
