About Amanda Douglass Catering Service
Amanda Douglass Catering Service is a family-run Port Stephens caterer led by Amanda Douglass, a qualified chef who started the business in 2004 after working in hotel kitchens. The team cooks for weddings, private parties, corporate functions and community events, and brings staff to handle service on the day. There is no fixed set menu. Each event gets its own, drawing on savoury pastry and sweet grazing boards, finger food, roast meat with sides, cold lunch selections, salads and feasting-style spreads. Service styles range from grazing tables and canapés through to buffets and plated multi-course meals. Dietary needs such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and allergies are planned in from the start, and pre-prepared meals can be delivered for hosts who would rather serve guests themselves. Weddings can be catered at partner venues around Port Stephens, including Tanilba House, The Oasis near One Mile Beach, the yacht club at Soldiers Point and The Retreat beside the sand dunes, as well as homes and outdoor spots. For work events the menus cover morning teas, working lunches, training days, launches and staff celebrations. Belltent Creations combines a styled bell tent – cushions, throws, hammocks and decor – with grazing platters, high teas or a Mexican-inspired feast. It is set up in a backyard, park or by the water for birthdays, hens' parties and baby showers. Send an enquiry to start planning a menu.
