About PEN Catering

PEN Catering is a locally owned Sydney caterer based on Military Road in Neutral Bay. Most of its work is for businesses, from office breakfasts and board lunches to conferences and product launches, but the same online store handles cocktail parties, birthdays, Friday drinks and picnics. Everything is prepared fresh in its commercial kitchen with ingredients from Australian suppliers, and deliveries go out in electric vehicles. For events, the signature canape packages are sized by how long guests will be eating: four pieces each for a short gathering, up to ten for events running past two hours, always mixing substantial items with smaller bites. Substantial choices include pork belly or tofu bao, grass-fed beef or chicken and brie burgers, and ribbon sandwiches, while canapes run from kataifi prawns and satay chicken skewers to Peking duck crepes, brie and fig crostini and mushroom tartlets. Hot buffets arrive ready to serve in group bowls, including a build-your-own taco station with chilli con carne, chicken fajita, guacamole and tortillas, plus Asian, Indian and Italian spreads. Grazing platters of antipasto, cheese and dried fruit, dips and fruit, curated collections of finger food, and platters of mini pies, sausage rolls and spinach parcels fill out the range. The menu carries a strong spread of dietary choices, including vegan and gluten-free quiches, shepherd's pies, muffins and apple cakes, gluten-free sandwiches, vegetarian lasagne and falafel. The team suggests quantities by event length and can build a custom quote for larger functions. Orders are taken online at any hour for weekday delivery, and weekend catering can be arranged depending on availability.
