When planning an event, whether it’s a wedding, corporate gathering, or a birthday celebration, ensuring that the food being served is safe and handled by knowledgeable professionals is paramount. That’s why at Catered By Matt, we prioritise food safety and hygiene, and we take pride in our well-trained team who have completed several essential certifications.
HACCP Certification
One of the cornerstones of food safety is our HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) Certification. This certification demonstrates our commitment to identifying potential hazards in our food preparation processes and implementing strict controls to minimise risks. By adhering to the principles of HACCP, our team is trained to follow safe food handling practices from the moment the ingredients arrive at our kitchen to when the food is served to you and your guests.
Food Health and Safety Certificate
In addition to HACCP, every team member holds a Food Health and Safety Certificate, which covers topics such as foodborne illnesses, proper storage techniques, and sanitation practices. This certification ensures that our staff is knowledgeable about the best practices in food handling, helping us maintain a safe kitchen environment and deliver meals that meet the highest health standards. By understanding the importance of cleanliness and safety, our team is fully equipped to prepare and serve food that you can trust.
RSA (Responsible Service of Alcohol)
While we proudly serve delicious food at your events, many celebrations also include beverages. Our RSA (Responsible Service of Alcohol) certification enables our team to serve alcohol responsibly, ensuring that all guests are served safely. This training covers various aspects of alcohol service, including age verification, intoxication management, and understanding the legal obligations associated with serving alcohol at events.
Alcohol Supply
It’s important to note, however, that while our team is certified to serve alcohol, we do not possess a liquor license that allows us to supply alcohol directly. Should you require alcohol for your event, we recommend working with a third-party vendor who specialises in alcohol distribution. This ensures that the beverage needs for your gathering are met while still adhering to legal guidelines.
A Catering Company You Can Rely On
We understand that your peace of mind is crucial when it comes to catering for your events. Our certifications reflect our dedication to safety, quality, and professionalism in everything we do. We are committed to providing you with an unforgettable experience where you can focus on enjoying your event, knowing that the food and service are in capable hands.

FAQ's
How far can you travel if we would like to hire your catering services?
Typically, we work within Sydney and the surrounding suburbs. However, for special occasions, we can travel further. For these events, we will need to apply a travel fee.
Can you help me create the perfect menu for my event?
Of course, to help you create the perfect menu, we can schedule a call and work closely with you, figuring out what you would and would not like on your menu. From here, we will create two sample menus and forward them over for your review.
Can you supply beverage packages for my private events?
We do not offer alcohol to our guests. We recommend you purchase your alcohol through a supplier like Dan Murphy’s. Dan Murphy’s makes it super easy because you can order online and have it delivered to your home. Then, we will supply the bar staff to take care of the service of alcohol for you.
Will your catering company supply platters and crockery?
For canapé and buffet events, we will supply crockery for serving. However, we do request that you supply plates and cutlery for your guests to eat from.
When planning my event, what are the most important things to consider?
After placing your first enquiry, the questions we will ask will be:
Is this a private (home/family) or corporate (business) event?
How many guests will be at your event?
What style of menu are you looking for?
What expectations you may have around staffing – do you require waiters, bar staff, etc.
