About Culinarius
Culinarius is a Wollongong catering business that has been running for more than 25 years and has catered well over 10,000 events. All food is made by qualified chefs in a council-approved commercial kitchen on Kenny Street and travels in insulated vans, so the team can cater in a park, an office or a house with no kitchen at all. Menus cover most styles of function. Cocktail parties are built from hot and cold finger food such as rice paper rolls, sushi, oysters, prawn bites and blini. A rustic antipasto grazing table brings together cheeses, cured meats, char-grilled vegetables, dips, nuts, fruit and breads, and the gourmet roast menu suits a relaxed dinner party. There are also shared feasts, barbecues, high teas, platters, breakfasts and a festive Christmas menu, and gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan guests are catered for. Weddings have been a specialty for decades, from intimate groups of ten up to very large receptions, and Culinarius is the exclusive wedding caterer for The Pavilion Kiama, where pre-dinner canapés are served on balconies looking over Surf Beach. The business holds a caterer's liquor licence with RSA-trained beverage staff, and can help with event management, equipment hire, decorations, flowers and photography, so a whole function can be run through one team.

Frequently asked questions
Do we need a kitchen at our venue?
Not necessarily. Food is prepared in the Wollongong kitchen and delivered in insulated vans. If full kitchen facilities are needed for a menu and the venue lacks them, they can be hired in.
What does the grazing table cost?
The rustic antipasto grazing table is $58 per person including GST for at least 35 guests from Monday to Saturday, and $63.80 per person on Sundays. It comes with platters and tongs.
Can you provide staff and drinks?
Yes. Wait staff, chefs, beverage staff and cocktail bartenders can be booked by the hour with a four-hour minimum, and Culinarius holds a caterer's liquor licence.
Can you help with hire equipment?
Yes. The team will organise tables, chairs, crockery, cutlery, linen and glassware on your behalf as a free service, with the hire itself charged separately.
How is a booking secured?
Weddings and large functions need a $1,000 non-refundable deposit. Wedding balances are due 14 days before the day, private parties 7 days before, and final guest numbers are needed one week out.
