About Nutmeg and Pepper
Nutmeg and Pepper is a boutique catering company led by Chef Nadene Prior, known to clients as Chef Nade. The team works out of a commercial kitchen in Redland Bay and caters private parties, weddings and corporate functions across Brisbane, shaping each menu around the client and the space. The food is handmade rather than bought in, using locally sourced produce that is organic where possible and hormone-free meat. Menus run from finger food and share platters to grazing tables, a boutique buffet, a satay and skewer bar, banh mi, an Oktoberfest buffet, Italian grazing and dessert stations such as a cupcake bar or mini sweet pies and tarts. Vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free requests are welcome. There are two main ways to book. Full-service catering brings the chef and staff to your event, and the food trailer can act as a hidden kitchen, so wedding guests see platters of finger food arrive with wait staff, or birthday guests help themselves at the trailer until the prepaid food runs out. The DIY option is cheaper: food is made and delivered in garnished catering boxes to serve as is, or to heat and serve with instructions. Office catering covers breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, cocktail parties and staff events, plus product launches with themed food and regular standing orders. The kitchen can also arrange props, styling, equipment and a marquee on request. Send an enquiry with your event type, date, venue suburb and guest numbers for menu options.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum guest number for Nutmeg and Pepper?
General events start at 30 guests. Weddings need 30 guests for a home wedding and 50 at an event space, and the team prefers to keep full-service events to about 250 guests, while DIY catering has no upper limit.
How does the DIY catering option work?
The kitchen prepares the food and delivers it in garnished catering boxes. You can serve straight from the boxes, or if it arrives ahead of time, heat and serve it using the instructions provided, which saves on staffing.
What is the Nutmeg and Pepper food trailer?
The food trailer works as a hidden kitchen at off-site events. At a wedding, wait staff carry finger food platters out to guests; for a birthday you can prepay the food and let guests visit the trailer until it is sold out.
Can Nutmeg and Pepper cater for dietary needs?
Yes. Vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free requests are welcome, and bespoke menus can be written for corporate clients. The kitchen handles common allergens, so a total absence of them cannot be guaranteed.
What happens if an event is cancelled?
With written notice more than 30 days out, the deposit is refunded less 20% or held as credit; between 15 and 30 days, half is refunded or held as credit; inside 15 days the deposit is kept to cover food, labour and overheads.
