Just because you may be ordering for a large group, it shouldn't ever mean the quality of your food is worse than for a small gathering.
We pride ourselves on exceptional service, right from when you order to the time it's delivered.
Each of our catering partners it vetted before adding them to our marketplace to ensure you're getting high quality food, every time you order. When browsing our menus, you'll see each one has a rating our of five. (This will appear as a pink star with a number to its right.) These rating are given by other customers like you who have used that caterer before.
If no rating is available, it may be a new partner or we may just not have any customer reviews yet.

FAQs about corporate catering in Canberra
How much should I budget for catering in Canberra?
We recommend setting a budget of at least $15-$20 per person for catering a proper meal. If you're just offering a morning or afternoon tea, or nibbles, you can probably get away with $12-$15 per person.
Of course, the final budget really would depend on some factors, such as:
- What type of food you're wanting to order
- Whether the food is hot or cold
- If any wait staff is required
How far in advance do I need to order catering?
Most of the time, 24-48 hours notice is plenty of notice for catering a small corporate event. The larger or more complex the order, it's best to give more time.
All of our Canberra catering suppliers note the required lead time right in our marketplace. Luckily, the shortest is just 18 hours if you do find yourself in a pinch.
Can you cater for outdoor events in Canberra?
Yes! We can cater for outdoor events in Canberra, but you'll want to make sure your venue is equiped for the food you'll want to cater. Consider a few things including:
- Will you require running water or electricity?
- If you're cooking at the location, are there any bans on BBQing?
- Are there toilet facilities nearby?
Our friendly account managers and customer care team can discuss all the logistics and requirements for outdoor events with you beforehand to ensure that we can provide a high-quality catering experience.
