About Flavours Catering + Events
Flavours Catering + Events has been feeding Sydney parties and corporate functions since 2004, when Belinda Sullivan started the business from small beginnings. It is still family owned and run, with her son Charlie now working in the kitchen as a qualified chef, and it operates out of Artarmon on the lower North Shore. The range runs from breakfast and lunch drop-offs through to fully staffed cocktail parties, BBQs and paella, shared buffets, grazing tables, plated dinners and themed food stations. Cocktail catering is sold as four set packages, all priced per person for a minimum of 25 guests. Cocktail Hour is five cold canapés over a one-hour service. Classic Canapé adds a cold substantial across two hours. Extended Celebration covers three hours with three cold canapés, three warm, a substantial and a sweet. Full Reception runs four hours with four cold, three warm, two substantials and a sweet. The food arrives in canapé boxes designed for an event you run yourself, or you can add chefs, wait staff, event managers, baristas and cocktail bartenders. Themed stations cover Mexican, Indian curry, Asian street market, waffles, a sweet steps stall, a bloody mary bar and a lemonade stand. Orders need to be placed at least one business day before the event, no later than 3pm, and staffed events are best locked in around 14 days out. Minimum order values are $149 Monday to Friday, $300 on Saturday and $500 on Sunday before delivery and GST. Delivery covers Sydney CBD, greater Sydney and surrounds, with the fee worked out by postcode. Crockery, cutlery and linen come with staffed events, staff arrive one to one and a half hours before service, and menus can be built around vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and halal requirements.

Frequently asked questions
What is included in the canapé packages?
Each package is priced per person for a minimum of 25 guests and arrives as delivered canapé boxes. Cocktail Hour is five cold canapés for a one-hour service. Classic Canapé adds a cold substantial across two hours. Extended Celebration runs three hours with three cold canapés, three warm, a substantial and a sweet. Full Reception covers four hours with four cold, three warm, two substantials and a sweet. Wait staff, chefs and beverage packages can be added on top.
How far ahead do I need to book?
Orders have to be placed at least one business day before the event, no later than 3pm. For staffed events Flavours asks for about 14 days where possible, and dates like long weekends, New Year's Eve, end of financial year and December fill early. Shorter notice is often workable, but the menu and staffing then depend on what is available.
How much does it cost?
Cocktail packages are $19.95, $28.95, $36.95 and $48.95 per person plus GST depending on length, each with a 25 guest minimum. A build-your-own buffet is $39.95 per person plus GST and the international BBQ is $24.95 per person plus GST. Minimum order values before delivery and GST are $149 Monday to Friday, $300 on Saturday and $500 on Sunday.
Which parts of Sydney do they deliver to?
Sydney CBD, greater Sydney and the surrounding areas, from the Artarmon kitchen. Delivery is charged by postcode through a calculator on their site. A $50 plus GST surcharge applies on Saturdays and $80 plus GST on Sundays, public holidays are quoted case by case, and deliveries outside 8am to 5.30pm add $15 plus GST for each 30 minutes.
Can they cater for dietary requirements?
Yes. Menus are built for vegetarian and vegan guests and for no added gluten, dairy, tree nut, peanut, sesame, egg, shellfish, garlic, onion or soy, with halal compliant and low FODMAP options as well. They are upfront that the kitchen handles common allergens, so an allergen-free environment cannot be guaranteed for severe allergies.
