About Gourmet Tarts Catering

Gourmet Tarts Catering is a Balgowlah Heights business run by Lyn Phillips, and cocktail parties are its specialty. Menus are built from a long list of hot and cold finger food: lentil samosas with raita, Thai fish cakes, mini beef pies, lamb and pesto tartlets, chilli prawns, arancini and gyoza on the hot side, and smoked salmon on pumpernickel, oysters, sushi platters, rice paper rolls and roast beef toasts among the cold pieces. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices are woven through. For guests who need more than canapés, the team offers noodle boxes such as Hokkien noodles, Thai curry or mushroom risotto, a buffet selection with roast meats, seafood, salads and desserts, and sit-down lunch and dinner menus with soups, entrées, mains like rack of lamb or eye fillet, and puddings. Sweet treats run from brownies and macarons to mini pavlovas and gluten-free friands, and cheese, fruit and antipasto platters can be added. Each menu is shaped around the occasion and the budget, and staff come along to serve, look after guests and leave the kitchen tidy. The team caters at homes, offices and hired venues for birthdays, engagements, baby showers, christenings, anniversaries and weddings, as well as breakfasts, morning teas, meetings and seminars. Most work is on the Northern Beaches and North Shore, though the business also caters elsewhere in Sydney.
