About Cargo Catering Co.
Cargo Catering Co. is run by three sisters who turned years of travelling into generous, big-flavoured food for events. The Barossa is one of the areas they service, and since 2015 the sisters have catered upwards of 500 weddings and events. Each booking is looked after by its own event manager from the first email to the day itself. Wedding and larger celebration menus can draw on roaming canapés, bigger roaming entrées, a grazing table, a ceviche selection made with local fish or an oyster buffet. Mains can be plated or shared, served as family-style feast platters, or replaced with a wood-oven pizza package, and desserts and late-night food finish the night. Couples can book a tasting to lock in the menu ahead of the wedding. Cargo Casual is the lighter choice for work functions and private occasions such as birthdays, engagements, baby showers and hens or bucks nights. It relies on buffets and self-serve tables, which means fewer chefs, wait staff and hired kitchen gear, and the menu can stretch to dessert bars, BBQ spreads, grazing tables or drop-off platters. Canapé and grazing menus generally start at 20 guests. The crew cooks at wineries, halls, private homes, venues and marquee sites across the Barossa, bringing ovens and a complete mobile kitchen wherever there is no kitchen on site. A mobile liquor licence covers a bar with wine, beer and cocktails, staff can serve drinks at BYO events, and furniture or marquees are organised through hire partners when needed.

Frequently asked questions
Does Cargo Catering Co. cater in the Barossa Valley?
Yes. The Barossa is one of the servicing areas the team lists, and it cooks at venues, wineries, private homes, halls and marquee sites, bringing its own kitchen equipment where needed.
Can the team cook at a Barossa property with no kitchen?
Yes. Outdoor and marquee events are a regular part of the work, and the crew can bring ovens and mobile kitchen equipment. They also help sort out logistics such as generators when a site requires them.
How many guests do we need?
That depends on the service style. Canapé or grazing menus usually begin at around 20 guests, and the team can suggest a better-suited option for a smaller group.
Is there a menu tasting before the wedding?
Yes. Couples can book a tasting to finalise the menu, and every menu is shaped around the couple's style, the theme and any dietary needs among the guests.
Can Cargo Catering Co. run the bar and supply staff?
Yes. With a mobile liquor licence the team can run a bar serving wine, beer and cocktails, and it can provide wait staff, bartenders and kitchen crew, including at BYO events.
