About Port Douglas Catering
Port Douglas Catering is an event caterer and private chef service working out of Craiglie. Owner and head chef Tommy Young is a trained chef who is at home cooking off site, and he runs events with Aradhna "Rads" Crabb, who looks after each booking from the first phone call to the end of the night. The team has been catering in the region for more than thirty years. Weddings are the core of the work. Menus are designed for each couple using fresh local ingredients where possible, from canapés during the ceremony drinks to entrées and mains or a generous shared banquet, with a beverage service and extras available. Corporate menus suit breakfast meetings, working lunches, conferences, cocktail networking events and formal dinners. The private chef service brings the cooking to your own house or holiday rental, from multi-course degustation dinners to family meals and barbecue lunches, either prepared in your kitchen or cooked ahead. The team regularly caters at the Sugar Wharf on Dickson Inlet, Rex Smeal Park, Lakeside Retreat in the Mowbray Valley, The Barn at Rocky Point and the Garden at the Gorge, as well as private villas used for micro weddings.
