Your Premium Small Catering Questions, Answered.
What’s the most lavish or challenging catering job you’ve undertaken? How did you handle it?
Chef Tim once pulled off a mind-blowing molecular gastronomy event! The “blowing” part? Just picture “salmon roe” as actual carrot pearls, and edible “rocks”—that’s right! Rocks!—made out of potato! During this special occasion, we’ve had grown men giggling about eating a rock. It was awesome.
Does Boardwalk Catering have a Gold Licence?
You bet! Our gold licence means we don’t just follow the strictest hygiene and food safety regulations, we go beyond. Catering for small parties requires top performance and the right accreditation to back up every claim. This way, party guests can relax and enjoy good food with complete peace of mind. Check out their website for more information.

How important is food safety to Boardwalk Catering?
We are dedicated to upholding the utmost levels of quality by consistently monitoring our cold storage rooms and freezers around the clock. A senior chef supervises the inspection of meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables to ensure that they meet the required standards for freshness and suitability for consumption. Our food safety policy is executed with great attention to detail, ensuring that every step is followed methodically. This includes adhering to proper storage methods and a dedication to using all ordered ingredients within a narrow 1-3 day timeframe. By doing so, we guarantee that each component contributes to the exceptional culinary quality for which Boardwalk Catering is well-known. The majority of our senior chefs possess the certification of Food Safety Supervisors and possess an extensive grasp of food safety regulations.

How can I know if a venue cost is a good deal?
Venue pricing can be tricky. A seemingly expensive option might be perfect for your party’s style and size. Conversely, a cheaper venue might be inconvenient for guests. The best value depends on how well the space fits your needs. If the venue helps you achieve your party goals, it’s a good deal.
How can we know if the premium party catering cost is a good deal?
The best way we know of is to compare! Look at similar private party caterers offering a similar style/menu. We can answer any questions. Our pricing considers menu choices, staff needs, and potential kitchen setup. Small parties may allow for more flexibility and customisation in the menu options.
What role does a premium catering service play at private parties?
We do more than just provide food and drinks here at BWC! Our team can help break the ice, offer discreet service, and even manage time to ensure your Vivid Sydney party runs smoothly.
