The overview

A restaurant crew in your backyard

Most of our private parties happen at home. Backyards, decks, sheds, the odd paddock. We bring the kitchen to you, cook everything on site, serve it like we mean it and leave your place cleaner than we found it.

The format is yours to pick: a long-table feast, a cocktail party with roaming canapés, a low-and-slow BBQ spread, or a proper sit-down dinner. We've done 18ths and 90ths, surprise parties and low-key Tuesdays.

400+ private parties

In homes, halls, gardens and farm sheds.

Any venue works

No kitchen? No power? We bring both.

Setup to cleanup

You never touch a tray or a dish all night.

The process

How a private party booking goes

Easier than ordering pizza, better than cooking it yourself.

Catering team carrying platters into a home garden party
Step 01

Tell us the occasion

Who's it for, how many people, where, and any theme or vibe. Surprise parties welcome, we're excellent liars.

Step 02

Menu made to match

We suggest a format and write the menu around your crowd. Grandma-friendly, kid-proof or full foodie, your call.

Step 03

Site check if needed

Tricky access, no kitchen, uneven lawn? We come look at it before the day so nothing surprises anyone.

Step 04

We arrive early

Crew lands a few hours before guests, sets up quietly, and the food's ready before the first knock on the door.

Step 05

Service through the night

Food comes out paced to the party. Speeches, cake, surprise video, we work around all of it.

Step 06

We disappear

Leftovers boxed in your fridge, benches wiped, bins empty. Most hosts tell us they forgot we were there.

Who you'll get

Your party crew

Friendly professionals who've seen every kind of party there is.

Marco Ricci grilling at a backyard event

Marco Ricci

Head chef

Leads the kitchen at most private events. Happiest with a grill, a crowd and no time limit.

Holly Brennan pouring drinks at a party

Holly Brennan

Floor manager

Keeps the drinks cold, the plates moving and the dog away from the cheese table.

Priya Nair plating canapés

Priya Nair

Sous chef

Detail person. The reason your canapés look like the photo and land at the right temperature.

Questions

Private party questions

What hosts usually want to know. Call +61 3 9517 2843 or use the contact page.

Not at all. We bring mobile equipment and most of the work happens in our prep area, not your kitchen. We need about 3x3 metres of flat ground and access to power if you have it.

Regularly. We coordinate arrival times so nothing appears early, park the van out of sight, and text you when setup is done.

We bring marquees for the cooking area at no charge. If the whole party needs cover, we can arrange full marquees through our hire partners at cost.

We do, though our sweet spot is adult events. For mixed family parties we add a kids' menu for half price per child, under 5s free.

Absolutely, and our staff will serve it for you under our licence. Or take a beverage package and we handle the whole thing.
