5 Venues to Cater for Your Next Celebration or Event in Style

You know that sinking feeling when you realise you haven’t made any preparations for that big event you have coming up.

What are you going to serve your guests? Where will you find the time to cook everything? What if your guests have dietary requirements?

Never fear…we have you covered! Even if you are just looking for a take-home meal to avoid cooking family dinner, there are many options out there to make kitchen life easier.

Here are five venues to help you dish up the perfect meal:

Food brings the world together whether catering for a special event or stopping at your local café – none more so than Will & Mike’s on Baker Street in Banksmeadow. Nestled in a secret garden oasis less than 15 minutes from Sydney’s CBD, this corporate event, catering and wedding venue lives in a heritage-listed, renovated factory dating back to 1912.

 

Surrounded by lush rainforest-style gardens, fountains, courtyards and a tennis court, Will & Mike’s is the ideal location for your next special occasion, wedding or private event. Choose from hand-crafted catering platters such as lamb and rosemary sausage rolls, Mediterranean lamb kofta and hummus, tempura chicken with honey, poppy seed and kaffir lime sauce; along with sweet treats like vegan carrot cake, gluten-free chocolate and vanilla cheesecake and brownies.

Delicious pizza made from quality ingredients served in a fun and casual atmosphere, is what you’ll find at Quattro Pizza on Queen Street in Berry. Expect a buzzing vibe of conversation at this well-loved local restaurant, where neon signage declares ‘For the Love of Pizza’ and tantalising aromas waft from the pizza oven as you enjoy an ice-cold glass of wine.

 

From weekend catch-ups with friends to birthdays, weddings and everything in between, Quattro offers the perfect catering solutions; think gourmet pizza slices such as chicken, bacon, mushrooms and shallots on a garlic base, or housemade meatballs with roasted capsicum, red onion, olives and parsley. Sides such as spicy buffalo chicken wings with ranch dressing and rocket salad with shaved Parmesan and house dressing complete the package.

Experience a memorable culinary adventure in the heart of Newcastle’s vibrant city at Sprout Dining on Hunter Street. Nestled in The Crown and Anchor Hotel, this restaurant presents a stylish vibe of exposed brick walls, large windows, comfy couches and potted greenery, setting the scene for inspired dining.

 

More than 140 years old and classified as an historic building, with many original features in place particularly in the beautiful and elegant dining hall, the hotel can cater for any function from weddings to engagements, birthdays and corporate events; choose from a wide menu including full three and four-course meals or opt for something simple and satisfying such as grazing tables.

If you are looking for a break from your busy schedule, find a relaxing café ambience in an art gallery environment at Lifestyle Daily Grind on Gilbert Street in Latrobe. This Devonport café nestles in The Crowded Lounge giving guests a taste of art with a new exhibition every month as they sip an aromatic coffee and ponder a simple and delicious menu to satisfy all tastes.

 

From casual coffees and irresistible indulgent sweet treats to hearty all-day breakfasts, light lunches and catering options, delve into the likes of vegetable curry, tempeh and warm naan; or fresh from the oven sausage rolls and pasties, along with a range of toasted paninis and sandwiches.

Éclair at the Bay on Byron Street is a unique homemade pastry business specialising in contemporary éclairs and luxury desserts for all gourmands and sweet lovers. Located in the scenic Northern River region of Byron Bay, delicious baked goods are dished up in a quaint and relaxing environment; step beyond the bright blue front door to find cabinets overflowing with all manner of temptations.

 

Order a signature croquembouche for your next special occasion or event, or choose from a diverse range of desserts to ensure an unforgettable experience – whether you envisage a sumptuous dessert table filled with an assortment of mini-size eclairs or a modern extra-large cake, there is everything you need as the team works closely with you to ensure the desserts match your event theme, aspirations and guests’ expectations.
