About Little Caterer Sydney
Little Caterer Sydney is a small catering business run by owner-chef Kohu out of a kitchen on Illawarra Road in Marrickville. The menus change with the seasons and lean on local growers and producers, and everything is made in house. The team caters private parties, engagements and milestone birthdays, corporate functions and office lunches, and weddings from small elopements up to large receptions. There are several formats to choose from. Canape packages run from six canapes through to a full evening of canapes, substantial bites and sweets. Grazing tables come in classic, breakfast and weekday lunch versions. Live food stations cover paella, tacos and pasta cooked in front of guests. There are also styled buffets with two mains and three sides, share-plate feasts, and two- or three-course plated dinners. Smaller groups can order individual platters of salumi, cheese, crudites or fruit and chocolate. Dishes are labelled vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free or dairy-free, and there is a good spread of plant-based options. Most packages need at least 30 guests (40 for food stations), and platters start at 20. Menu prices are per person and exclude GST. Chefs and waitstaff are quoted on top at $75 an hour each with a four-hour minimum, which covers setup, service and pack-down, and the quote tells you how many staff your format needs. Grazing tables include the styling, tablecloths and biodegradable bowls and cutlery. Trestle tables can be hired for $100 each. Events outside the Sydney metro area may carry a travel surcharge.
