Being outside when we cook, there is a Mediterranean feel to much of what we do, combining amazing local fresh produce with both traditional and international flavours.

A few ideas for your special meal...

If your venue has a full kitchen,  we can provide more traditional wedding or party catering. A few menu ideas are listed below. I'd recommend  selecting 3 or 4 options from each of the courses for a really wonderful wedding feast!



When we  cater outdoors we tend not to have the benefit of a full kitchen and thats where we get creative with our BBQs, Asado's, Pizza Oven and grills. There are a few BBQ menus below. This is by no mean exhaustive list, and if there is something you would like to have that you don't see here, please contact us, and we'll be happy to talk things through.
