Plated Meals Catering Service Melbourne | The Catering Company

Plated Meals

We love to celebrate the best of Victorian and Australian produce. Beginning with the careful planning of our menus we select seasonal produce from local and interstate purveyors. Working alongside suppliers who continually offer us the best ethically sourced produce, means good sustainable practices from farm to plate.

What elements are required for a plated meal service?

Our chefs require a space for service, not necessarily a full commercial kitchen but somewhere behind the scenes to plate up. We can certainly bring along kitchen equipment, if you don’t have them.

Does the price include staff, crockery, cutlery & linen?

Our package does not include these components, as we understand some venues come with equipment. Or you, as the client may be considering equipment that is beyond the standard white linens and crockery. We encourage creativity. Regarding staff to service your event, it really does depend on numbers and the logistics of your venue. Leave that to us, we love our food & beverage attendants.
