About Cargo Catering Co.
Cargo Catering Co. is a catering business run by three sisters who took their love of travel and turned it into generous, flavour-packed event food. The team has fed guests at more than 500 weddings and events since 2015, and every booking gets its own event manager who looks after the details from the first email through to the day. For weddings and larger celebrations, the menu can be built from roaming canapés and larger roaming entrées, a grazing table, a local fish ceviche selection or an oyster buffet, then plated or shared mains, family-style feast platters or a wood-oven pizza package. Desserts and late-night food round things off, and couples can book a tasting to settle the menu before the day. Cargo Casual is the lighter option for work functions and private celebrations – a birthday, an engagement, a baby shower or a hens or bucks night. It leans on buffets and self-serve tables so fewer chefs, wait staff and hired kitchen equipment are needed, and drop-off platters, grazing tables, BBQ spreads and dessert bars are all possible. Canapé and grazing menus usually need at least 20 guests. The crew travels to venues, private homes, wineries, halls and marquee sites, and can bring ovens and a full mobile kitchen where there is none. A mobile liquor licence covers bar service with wine, beer and cocktails, and staff can also serve drinks at BYO events. Furniture and marquees are arranged through trusted hire partners when needed.

Weddings and larger special events are a focus, along with corporate functions and Christmas parties, plus private occasions such as a birthday, an anniversary, an engagement, a baby shower or a hens or bucks night.
