The Difference Is in the Team

Whether working behind the scenes or cooking live in your home or venue, they bring the energy and care they once brought to top-end restaurants.
How Do We Ensure Great Service For Our Catering Events?
We have a list of activities and systems that we keep in place to ensure that our talented team deliver a seamless experience every time. Here are a few that we value most:
Pre-event checklists – Our chefs have laminated pre-event checklists that must be checked before leaving our HQ for events. This includes checklists for both the food (ensuring every item is packed), and the dry store, to ensure all equipment hire is taken with us.
Morning briefing – Every morning, the entire team have a 20 minute meeting. This is to go over each event for the day and discuss all information including, dietary requirements, the reason for the event (e.g. product launch), menu selections, time, location and travel, guest details, and more.
We practice – Before every event, our waitstaff go over the menu and practice saying each item. This is great for when we have canapé events and can have a diverse range of items on the menu.
In house laundry – To ensure our team are always arriving with their uniforms looking polished, we have all our aprons, shirts and pants washed by a company and ironed ready for the next event.
The are all procedures we have in place to make sure we deliver to the highest level, so that you and your guests can enjoy each others company and create quality memorable experiences.

We Use Locally sourced ingredients:
A lot of our produce is purchased from small Sydney retailers, or, for larger orders we use Sydney-based wholesalers. This is beneficial for a few reasons:
Using local produce ensures we have the freshest ingredients for our dishes
Having small local suppliers as our partners means we can get first pick on quality produce.
Commonly Asked FAQ's
Can you customise your menus for corporate occasions? Specifically conference catering?
• Yes, we can. Whilst we try not to stray to far from our current menus, we can create custom menus for your corporate events.
Do you offer drop off catering for corporate events?
Unfortunately we do not offer drop off catering services. We do commonly get asked if we can set up a grazing table of finger foods and canapés. This is something we can offer. These work very well for morning tea and afternoon teas in corporate settings.
Can you Cater for dietary requirements including, Dairy free and vegan?
Yes, we do cater for dietary requirements. We can create substitutes for your dietary restricted guests to enjoy. Our most common requests are for vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and dairy free.
We are catering an event in Sydney CBD and want to make the event stand out. What menu should choose?
To make an event stand out you need two main things: Amazing food and brilliant service. With Catered By Matt, you will receive both of these things regardless of which menu you decide to go with. However, our degustation menus offer the classiest of services. This is like the fine dining experience from your favourite hatted restaurant!
What are our clients saying about our Sydney catering services?
• Matt and his team were wonderful to work with. Matt organised a tasting so that I could be sure the food was of great quality. He arrived on time. He made sure all my guests were fed and happy, and he cleaned up beautifully, making the whole event run smoothly. he was also kind enough to cut up and serve a birthday cake, which wasn’t part of our original arrangement. Thanks for a great night. – Ellen Longeran
• We hired Matt’s team for our office catering event. We had a cocktail party for our team of 40, and everything was beyond amazing! They helped us organise beverage packages, roamed around insanely delicious food and did so very seamlessly. The canapés were beautifully presented, and all our guests made comments on how it was a perfect menu from the first bite to the last. I would highly recommend them for corporate and private events – Tom hicks
