Feeding a crowd in Newcastle can mean a chef-led plated dinner, a charcoal grill on the lawn or a grazing table guests help themselves to. The caterers here cover all three, so the real choices are the style of service and how much kitchen your venue has.
For full-service menus, Fennel & Co. Catering, run by chef James Borg and Tess Borg, cooks modern Australian food shaped by South-East Asian and Middle Eastern cooking, plus an Italian banquet to share, with extras such as an oyster bar and a chef-run cheese wheel pasta station. The Wilderness Chef, led by executive chef Cooper Thomas, moves from roaming canapés to plated courses and brings a mobile kitchen to sites that have none.
