About Nathan Lanham Catering
Nathan Lanham Catering is a Canberra function caterer led by chef Nathan Lanham, with Monique Lanham running the office and bookings. The business cooks for weddings, corporate functions, event launches and private parties, offering cocktail-style canapés, buffets and formal lunches or dinners. The canapé menu is the heart of the offer, with close to 30 hot and cold options. Hot choices include pulled lamb shoulder pies, pork belly with pomme purée, Moroccan beef skewers, seared scallops and squid ink gnocchi, while the cold list runs from salmon in nori with wasabi dukkah to beef carpaccio, duck with spiced pumpkin and crab tarts with chilli and lime. Vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free items are marked throughout. Staff can be booked so the host is free to enjoy the event. Wait staff set up, serve and clean the catering area, and a chef is needed for every formal dinner, buffet and cocktail function. As a guide, the business suggests one waiter for up to 25 guests at a cocktail event, one for up to 20 at a buffet and one for up to 12 at a dinner. Equipment hire can be arranged too, including linen, glasses, cutlery, crockery, tables and ovens, so a venue or home can be set up for service. Delivery is charged by area across Canberra, with set fees for the city and Woden, Tuggeranong, North Canberra and Gungahlin.
