About Philip Johnson Catering
Philip Johnson Catering is the event arm of chef Philip Johnson, the cook behind e'cco bistro. His team has catered Brisbane functions for more than two decades, working from seasonal produce and building each menu around the client's brief. The kitchen travels. At a venue the chefs use the in-house kitchen, and at a home, garden or marquee they set up their own fully equipped one, so food is prepared and served fresh. Because the business holds a liquor licence, it can also run the bar, with beverage and cocktail specialists who help shape the drinks list. Weddings can be a cocktail reception, a relaxed shared feast or a formal sit-down dinner, and the team is an approved caterer at a number of Brisbane wedding venues. For private parties – milestone birthdays from a 40th up, anniversaries, engagement parties and small dinners with friends – the crew plans the menu, staffing and logistics so the hosts can enjoy the night. Corporate work covers launch parties, seminars, boardroom lunches and Christmas parties, served as stand-up canapés, share-style feasts or seated lunches and dinners. The team can also help find a venue. Sample menus include canapés such as pumpkin arancini and bug rolls, a shared dining menu with roasted meats and salmon, and a three-course plated menu.

Frequently asked questions
Can Philip Johnson Catering cook at our house rather than a venue?
Yes. The team brings and sets up its own fully equipped kitchen for home and marquee events, so the food is cooked and plated on site rather than delivered cold.
Do they provide drinks as well as food?
The business is fully licensed, so it can supply and serve the bar. Its beverage and cocktail specialists help put together a drinks menu that suits the event and the food.
What styles of service are available?
Options include roaming canapés for a stand-up cocktail party, share-style feasts where platters go down the table, grazing tables, and plated two or three-course dinners served alternate drop or as a single choice.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
The shared dining menu is designed for at least 12 guests. Other menus are tailored to the size of the event, from intimate dinners to large parties, so mention your numbers when you enquire.
Can the menu handle dietary requirements?
Each menu marks gluten-free and dairy-free dishes or options, and vegetarian and vegan choices can be arranged at every course when they are requested in advance.
