About Art Kitchen

Art Kitchen has been catering out of a kitchen on the Pacific Highway at Pymble since 2012. The team cooks for private parties, weddings and corporate functions across Sydney, working in homes, hired venues, outdoor spaces and offices. Menus are built around seasonal produce and are written for each event rather than picked off a fixed package list, and the kitchen holds a Gold Licence, which covers beverage and alcohol service alongside the food. The formats on offer cover most ways of feeding a room. Canapes run as a two-hour package of eight pieces or a three-hour package of ten, both with a minimum of twenty five guests. Formal plated dining is available as two or three courses with a minimum of fifteen guests, and there are food stations, shared plates, grazing planks, wedding packages and drop-off menus for events that do not need staff on site. Beverage packages run from one to five hours, with bar staff charged separately. Beyond the cooking, Art Kitchen hires out tableware, glassware, cutlery, trestle tables, linen and kitchen equipment, and supplies event managers, waitstaff, bartenders and chefs. Styling, props and floristry can be arranged through the same booking. Quoted prices exclude GST and staffing, and delivery charges apply to drop-off orders. Final guest numbers are needed at least 96 hours before the event, with small increases of up to five per cent sometimes possible 48 hours out. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free dishes are marked on the menus, and the kitchen will adapt dishes for allergies and religious requirements on request.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Art Kitchen cost?

The two-hour canape package of eight pieces is $36 per person and the three-hour package of ten pieces is $45 per person. Plated dining is $65 per person for two courses and $82 per person for three. All quoted prices exclude GST and staffing.

Is there a minimum number of guests?

Yes, and it varies by menu. Formal plated dining starts at fifteen guests. Canapes, food stations and shared plates each need a minimum of twenty five guests.

When do I need to confirm final numbers?

Final confirmed guest numbers are due at least 96 hours before the event, because they set the food quantities and staffing. Small increases of up to five per cent can sometimes be accommodated up to 48 hours out, depending on the event.

Do they supply staff and equipment, or just the food?

Both. Art Kitchen provides chefs, waitstaff, bartenders and event managers, and hires out tableware, glassware, cutlery, trestle tables, linen and catering equipment, delivered and set up. Styling, props and floristry can be added to the same booking.

Can they cater for dietary requirements?
