“We were so happy with the catering from our wedding, we are still receiving compliments from our guest until this day. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The Cheese Grazing Table they put together was out of this world in both taste and appearance. Not a scrap was left, even with our efforts to over cater, our guests were going back for seconds and thirds.” Emma H

The BEST wedding caterers!!! We had a cocktail style wedding with roaming platters and a big beautiful grazing table to begin with. The guests were blown away with the quality and taste of the food. Everything is made fresh and from scratch. The meat and seafood is perfectly seasoned and then lovingly cooked on the charcoal barbecues by the head chef. If you do not want your guests leaving hungry this is the caterer for you. There is ample food to go around and everyone will enjoy it. The food is filling, wholesome and executed flawlessly. They go above and beyond to cater for dietaries and are very flexible. You will not be disappointed, I highly recommended The Grecian Kitchen.

The Grecian Kitchen is fabulous! This includes: Very easy and helpful during planning. Delicious, plentiful and beautifully displayed food. Great service and care for people with special dietary requirements. and no-fuss and thorough clean-up. Our guests raved about the food and whole experience around it. We thank Mel and all staff for a great experience and would highly recommend the Grecian Kitchen to anyone with a special event that needs external catering.

They were seriously the best. We are true foodies and the food superseded our expectations. Everyone at the wedding was blown away but the quality, friendship provided, the AMOUNT of food. We have been told this was the best wedding regarding food by all our guests. It was a home wedding and this was the hit of the century. We definitely recommend the Grecian kitchen to anyone and we will also use them for our business functions

We used 'The Grecian Kitchen ' for our wedding catering and we are so glad we chose them! After our tasting session, it was torture waiting for our wedding day to have their cooking again! We were able to provide our guest so much variety, prawns, lamb cutlets, chicken, salads and so much more, they also were able to cater to all dietary requirements including celiac. The food was all served hot, and the flavours were out of this world ! All my guest helped themselves at least twice to food, and the following day, I had so many messages asking for their business card. They left our kitchen spotless and worked seamlessly with our other vendors. Mel and Steff instantly felt like family to us leading up to the wedding. Mel went above and beyond what is expected from your caterer. She even took me out to source flowers and was always a phone call away to help me decide on other vendors. It was clear to see that Mel & Stef not only love what they do, they are experienced, passionate, and knowledgeable about food and all aspects of wedding. I highly highly recommend 'The Grecian Kitchen'. We are so excited to have you cater to our future events !

How do caterers handle multiple allergies?

My cousin has a whole host of allergies. How do caterers handle this? Should I ask her if she feels more comfortable bringing her own food?

The Grecian Kitchen

When you get your final Dietary Requirements List from your client, address each guest indivually... All Guests are important and should made not made to feel like they are a burden or missing out on anthing...

Guests with very tricky Allergies should be a priority...  I always ask my Couples if they would like me to correnspond with the Guest and chat one on one on exactly what they can have and what they cant have... it works perfectly... Couple is happy, Guest is surprised at the service and not worried about what they are to receive and I'm happy because of course, being fully prepared in the kitchen is the key to success and less grey hairs....

Are grazing tables a bad idea for summer?

The Grecian Kitchen

Anything the Bride and Groom want, should be considered and made to happen, unless they desire and 50 piece Marching band, that i can't do.

All Grazing tables should be organised on their own merit, for example, Weather restrictions, Size, Foods Desired, Time of the Day,  etc.

So when organising a Table all variables should be considered and hashed out for the end result. There's always a solution for everything and being organised for any situation is the key.  Too hot, is there shelter, under a tree, small marquee, choose the right foods for example no meats, just Cheese, Crackers and Fruits.

Have a grazing table for Dessert/ late Supper instead of Cocktail Hour, when its nice and cool.

Of course all food should be kept refrigerated until its time for it to be consumed.  So timing is a factor.  Practise getting that table laid in 10 minutes lol.  Organise everthing in containers ready for placement.

Of course you have your time restraints for foods left out, so have a plan in place not to leave it out for too long.  Organise a Grazing table to be presented at the best time of the day for it to be consumed by hungry hungry guests, so your not having the chance of too much food being left over.  It's really not a good idea to have one out just for show.  Maximise it's purpose and make it a real show stopper.

Don't be afraid to ask the caterer all those niggling questions, like the ones above, they should be happy to work with you to make sure everything looks and tastes amazing and all Health Regulations are being adhered too

Best of Luck x

What's some good things to serve during cocktail hour?

The Grecian Kitchen

We find that Wedding Guests are quite hungry by the time Cocktail Hour comes around, so something substantial but still keeping to Mini size is good. We serve Mini Souvlaki Sticks straight off the BBQ including Honey & Coriander Prawn, Lemon & Herb Chicken and Fig & Honey Marinated Quail.. Our most popular dish is our Zucchini & Feta balls with Minted yogurt and another popular choice is our Marinated Capsicum & Feta on Little Breads. Always remember, keep the amount of items on the Cocktail Hour Menu to no more than four, because you want your guests to enjoy their dinner as well. The trick is to make those four items, unforgettable!

Another great way to feed your guests during Cocktail Hour is a Fruit & Cheese Table. An absolute WOW factor and talking point for your guests while they sip their champaign. A Good selection of Quality Cheeses, complimented with Dried and Fresh Fruits is a great way to prepare your guests for a magical night.
