HC Catering
OVERVIEW
HC Catering (formerly Hot Coals Catering)
We are a family-owned business catering to weddings and functions for decades. We're passionate about bringing the best gourmet food and beverages to you and your wedding party, no matter where you are in Victoria. Unlike other caterers, we travel with a complete executive kitchen and cooking facilities. No reheated food with HC; we'll prepare and cook it on-site in your venue or the middle of your dream farm location off the beaten track.
It is time to stop stressing about the food and beverages and leave it to HC Catering. With our experience and friendly team who know how to serve your guests with the utmost professionalism yet still be approachable and fun, there is no better team. Our experience suggests that organising your venue, food, and beverages first is the best way to ensure a successful wedding for everyone. The food is what guests talk about after weddings — mainly if there isn't enough. We know how much to cater and can ensure every guest is satisfied with our delicious executive chef-designed menu options.
Working with HC Catering, you can look forward to:

Get Expert AdviceDo we need to cater meals for our wedding suppliers?
Hi there. Wondering if we're supposed to cater meals for our wedding suppliers, and which suppliers are typically included? Need to factor into our budget.
HC Catering
Many people do choose to feed their suppliers, sometimes you'll find it is even part of your contract! It's entirely up to you to decide, whether they will get the same as everyone else, or maybe just a plate of main course, or something simpler. As HC Catering often have woodfired ovens onsite at events, we find our customers often opt to provide woodfired pizza for their suppliers; these are a great cost effective choice. It's up to you, the customer, to decide based on the arrangements you have with your suppliers, and also the relationship ytou have with them!
Late-night snack ideas for our wedding
Hi! We love the idea of the midnight snack at our reception for the late partygoers. What are some unique/fun ideas that our guests will love?
HC Catering

Pizzas are always a great way to end the evening. We can easily provide these as an addition to your total wedding package. Alternatively, cheese boards are also a popular option. Or, If you want to go down the path of desserts, either trays of our delectable mini desserts, or we could serve your own favourite ice creams to finish the night.
Please feel free to give us a call on 9056 5585 if you have any further questions.
What do we need to have organised before we book a caterer?

Not alot! In an ideal world, it would be your chosen venue and your perfect date. But with HC Catering, even changes to those things can be worked with - subject to our avaiability if the date changes.
