Everything to Know About Catering

Feeding a Central Coast crowd usually comes down to two questions: how formal the meal needs to be, and whether a cook comes to you or the food arrives ready to put out. The caterers here cover both, and most will set up anywhere from the hinterland to Terrigal & Avoca.

For sit-down service, H&H Catering is a family business working since 1995 that gives each event its own functions coordinator and knows marquee and property receptions well. Central Coast Events, out of Berkeley Vale, is run by chef-owner Brenden, who writes and cooks every menu from grazing to plated, and the same team hires out furniture and heaters. Pachamama Catering, from Killcare, builds its menus around what grows in its permaculture garden, with paella, tacos, pizza and family-style feasts among the options.

Lighter, more casual food suits afternoon parties and office lunches. Phat Platter Event Catering at Lisarow offers three grazing table styles and boxed canapés, sandwiches, salads and sweets ordered online. Trinhy's Food Truck is self-contained, carrying its own water, hand basins, hot water and generator. Memory Lane Weddings & Events pairs grazing boxes and picnics with Florence, a converted 1968 Franklin caravan bar.

Matching the caterer to the event:

  • Plated wedding dinner for a big guest list – H&H Catering
  • Garden-to-plate menus with every diet covered – Pachamama Catering
  • Office lunch delivered in boxes – Phat Platter Event Catering
  • Street food with halal choices – Trinhy's Food Truck
