Meet Chef Matt

24-year-old career chef

Hey there! I’m Matt, a 25-year-old career chef based in Sydney. Before diving into catering, I worked in some of the city’s top fine dining spots, including two years at Quay Restaurant. Along the way, I was lucky enough to win the Brett Graham scholarship, which had me going to work in the famous ‘Ledbury’ in London, until COVID put a stop to it.

That’s when I shifted gears and started catering. Since then, I’ve prepared premium degustations for private events, catered for Sydney’s biggest brands, and even catered for international celebrities. What began as a one-man show three years ago has grown into a passionate and talented team of seven, all committed to making your event unforgettable. Oh, and if you’ve seen the show Billion Dollar Playground — yep, that’s me! You can read more about my TV experience here.

What do clients think of our services?

Matt and his team couldn’t have been better! The food was a 10/10 and the service was brilliant. ALL our guests raved about both the food the service during and after the event. We would 1000% recommend him to anyone for an upcoming event!

We had Matt and George cater our wedding and it was honestly the best decision we ever made – each dish was sensational, and they were sooo accommodating with our allergy-riddled group. We could not recommend them enough! Simply the best Sydney catering service you will find.

— Minnet Hedger

Matt catered for our daughter’s engagement party this weekend. What can I say!!! From first contact until the end of the party Matt has been amazing!
The food was absolutely delicious and every guest was blown away by the quality and quantity.
We also had the fabulous Joaquin to run the bar for us. With Matt and Joaquin calmly running the kitchen and bar it meant we could properly greet all of the guests with no distractions.
I would highly recommend Matt and his team to anyone and will certainly look forward to another occasion when we might have the opportunity to use Catered by Matt again!

— Shirley Mattingly

The Catered By Matt team were excellent. They catered for 60 at my daughter’s 21st. They made the planning phase easy. They were punctual and polite. The food was great and exactly as described. They were super efficient and did a thorough clean before they left. I would absolutely recommend them and would definitely use them again. Catered by Matt is the best catering Sydney Australia.

Matt was wonderful. He was extremely professional, a great chef and importantly catered to our needs. We were able to enjoy the party whilst Matt handled food and clean up.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a catered event by Matt, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, Matt was incredibly professional and communicated effectively, ensuring every detail was perfect. He went above and beyond to deliver an unforgettable experience. Matt’s friendly demeanor and attention to detail truly made our night special.

I attended a dinner party catered for by “Catered by Matt”. The food was excellent. Matt took into consideration my food allergies when preparing the menu and I was able to enjoy the three courses. Matt explained every course to the dinner guests. He had a conversation, a little interaction then left us to enjoy the food. Great meal, great service, great guy!

— Greg Laughton

We used Matt’s private chef catering services for my dad’s 80th lunch on the weekend. Matt was absolutely lovely to deal with from the first point of contact and was always really responsive to all my queries. On the day he was amazing – everyone loved the food and raved about how good everything was! He also went over and above, helping to cook something for the kids and even going and getting us bin bags when he saw that we had run out. He is an amazing chef and an all-round lovely person – I would highly recommend him!

— Olivia P

Matt and Darcy were fantastic! Even with short notice, they absolutely delivered on food quality, creating a private chef experience that was perfect for our company’s 30th birthday celebration. Despite our office kitchen having only a sink, they brought everything needed to provide exceptional service. Their catering service truly elevated our Sydney office event, couldn’t have asked for better! PS. The crispy beetroot tartlet with beetroot relish, whipped ricotta, black olive YUM definitely was the crowd favourite!

— Amy Schmitz

Matt and his team catered for my daughter’s 18th birthday party. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Fantastic communication before and during the event. The food was excellent quality and perfect for the girls and he suggested hiring a slushie cocktail machine which absolutely made their day. He and Darcy stayed longer than they needed to and helped me clean up and serve last drinks. I would recommend Matt and his team to anyone.

— Rachel Robinson

Matt and his team were incredible from start to finish! Matt was easy to liaise with, and did all the menu planning and event coordination, which made it seamless and gave me time back in my day. Matt was timely throughout the entire process, including quoting, invoicing and on-the-day arrival and packup. Not to mention, the food was DELICIOUS! Couldn’t recommend Matt and the team more highly!

— Sandra Suen

Matt catered an Australia Day gathering of friends and is simply sensational, I highly recommend it. Communication is fast and thorough, can arrange the hire of tables and glassware, quotes are efficient and payment is easy online. On the day, Matt was on time, if not early, took over an ill-equipped kitchen (at hire place) with no issue, had everything that was needed and directed the bar staff. I did not need to check in or worry about anything. And the food – delicious, large portions, beautifully presented. Cannot recommend Catered by Matt enough.Will use them again for sure. Simply the best Sydney catering service available.

We had Matt’s team cater our Christmas party, which was our best choice this year! We had the canapé menu #2. The canapés were delicious. The crowd favourite was the mushroom arancini with pesto aioli! The amount of food served was also very generous, and everyone left feeling full. We will be using Catered by Matt again in the future.
