About Little Caterer Sydney
Little Caterer Sydney is a small catering company run by owner-chef Kohu, based in Sydney and cooking for events up in the Blue Mountains as well. Menus follow the seasons, draw on local producers and are made in house rather than bought in. The team takes on weddings of every size, engagement and milestone birthday parties, anniversaries and corporate functions. Formats are flexible. Canape packages scale from six pieces up to a full evening with substantial bites and sweets, and grazing tables are offered as a classic spread, a breakfast version or a weekday lunch option. Live stations for paella, tacos or pasta are cooked in front of guests, alongside buffets of two mains with three sides, shared feasts and sit-down dinners of two or three courses. Smaller gatherings can order individual platters instead – salumi, cheese, crudites, or fruit with chocolate. Each dish carries a vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free or dairy-free label where it applies, and there is a wide plant-based choice across the menus. Packages generally start at 30 guests, with 40 for food stations and 20 for platters. Chefs and waitstaff are added to the quote for staffed events, and a travel surcharge may apply for venues in the Mountains.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Little Caterer Sydney charge per person?
Grazing tables begin at $35 per person for the classic version, and a single food station is $40. Canape packages range from $45 to $80, buffets start at $60, a two-course plated dinner is $80 and three courses are $100. Menu prices are quoted before GST, and staff are charged separately.
Is there a minimum guest number?
Yes. Most packages are designed for at least 30 guests, and live food stations need 40. If your group is smaller, the platter menu works from 20 guests.
Do they cater weddings in the Blue Mountains?
Yes. Weddings are a big part of the work, from small elopements to large receptions, with options running from cocktail-style canapes to sit-down plated dinners. A travel surcharge may apply for Mountains venues, so include your venue when you enquire.
How does staffing work?
Each chef or waiter is charged at $75 an hour, and bookings run for at least four hours so setup, service and pack-down are all covered. The quote suggests staff numbers for the format you choose, and food stations take one or two chefs each.
Can they look after vegan and gluten-free guests?
Yes. Every menu flags which dishes suit vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free or dairy-free diets. Many of the canapes, salads and station options are plant-based, so these guests are not left with a token plate.
