About Catered by Matt
Catered by Matt is a Sydney catering company run from a shopfront on Condamine Street in Manly Vale. It is led by chef Matt Mirosevich, who spent seven years in Sydney's fine dining restaurants, including two years at Quay, and the kitchen and floor teams are drawn from the same end of the industry. The work spans private celebrations and corporate events, from milestone birthdays, engagement parties, baby and bridal showers and funerals through to board lunches, product launches, conferences and team offsites. There are three menu formats. Buffet catering comes as a family-style banquet arranged down the centre of the dining table, or as a grazing table set to the side with plates and cutlery, and both are built from two packages where you choose your own mains and sides. Canapés are either roamed by waitstaff on trays or laid out as grazing platters. Degustation is the fine dining option, running from two courses upwards, with the chef arriving 60 to 90 minutes before service and introducing each course as it goes out. Private party catering is designed for groups of 20 to 100 or more, and menus are built around gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan and dairy-free guests rather than treating them as an afterthought. The team handles menu planning, cooking, service staff, setup, service and clean-up, and can organise crockery, cutlery, glassware and chafing dishes through hire partners. Alcohol is not supplied, but most clients have it delivered and the team receives the delivery, sets up glassware and serves it. Prices are not published; menus are quoted per event and enquiries are answered within 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions
How far ahead should I book Catered by Matt?
For a Friday or Saturday event, or during peak season, the team recommends booking at least six weeks ahead. Weekday events and smaller gatherings can often be arranged at shorter notice, and there is a last-minute page on the site for late requests.
What does catering cost?
Prices are not published. The team quotes each event once the menu format, guest numbers, dishes and staffing are settled, so a canapé cocktail party and a seated degustation are priced differently. Send through your date and guest count and the team replies within 24 hours.
What is included in the service?
Menu planning, chef-prepared food cooked at your venue, professional waitstaff, setup, service and clean-up are all included. Crockery, cutlery, glassware, chafing dishes and serving platters can be organised through hire partners, and dishes are labelled for dietary requirements.
Do they supply drinks?
No, alcohol is not supplied. Most clients order their own for delivery, which avoids the surcharge some caterers add, and the team will receive the delivery on the day, set up the glassware and serve throughout. They can also help you work out quantities and build a drinks list.
What size groups do they cater for?
Private party catering is designed for groups of 20 to 100 or more guests. Buffet menus scale comfortably from small gatherings up to a couple of hundred people, while degustation dinners suit smaller seated groups where every course is plated and introduced.
