About Tropic Spirit Catering
Tropic Spirit Catering is a Cairns catering and event management business that has been feeding guests since 2011. The kitchen is in Portsmith, and the team travels to weddings, corporate functions, private dinners, cocktail parties and charter boats across Far North Queensland. Menus come as a kit you can mix and match. Cold canapés can be delivered, while hot ones such as salt and pepper calamari, Thai fish cakes and Korean beef skewers are cooked fresh at your location. When canapés replace a sit-down meal, the team suggests eight to ten per guest plus two fork dishes, such as butter chicken, Singapore noodles or a Thai beef salad in bamboo boats. Buffet packages come with a chef who cooks on site and brings all the cooking and buffet equipment. The three set buffets step up from cold meats, prawns and curries to oysters, ocean trout gravlax, whole baked reef fish and beef tenderloin, each finished with tropical fruit and desserts like mango pavlova. Wait staff, beverage packages and glassware are available, and crockery, cutlery, furniture and eskies can be added to the quote. Morning and afternoon tea spreads, office platters and lunch packs look after meetings, conferences and smaller gatherings.
