About Colorful Palette Catering

Colorful Palette Catering makes gourmet lunch boxes for the local Gold Coast community, alongside a full party and event menu. Presentation matters here: food comes arranged in bright patterns, in eco-friendly packaging, and delivery is free. Canapes are ordered from a long list, with at least six kinds for 20 or more guests. Choices include modern caesar bites, kataifi bird nests, chicken roulade, lamb kofta and oxtail croquettes, along with more substantial items such as Japanese beef sliders, crab sliders and beef cheek with mash. Vegetarian picks like mushroom arancini and miso radish are marked on the menu, as are gluten-free and dairy-free dishes. For a sit-down feel without the fuss, four buffet menus suit groups of 25 or more, each with roasted meats, roast vegetables, salads and dinner rolls, stepping up to risottos, fruit and Basque cheesecake on the higher tiers. Platters suit a smaller or more casual party: fruit, sandwich, sushi, antipasto, seafood, dumpling, skewer and grazing options, with the grazing platter sized for around 15, 25 or 35 people. Boxed meals cover Italian, Japanese, Mexican and bulgogi styles. There is a kids' menu too, with lunch boxes, a butterfly charcuterie and a crudites garden platter.
