Creating a Memorable Buffet Experience
One of the key reasons guests love our buffet catering is the attention to detail. We don’t just bring food; we bring an experience. Our team specialises in creating memorable buffets for all types of events, focusing on presentation, variety, and customer experience. Here’s what sets us apart:
1. We Supply Your Buffet Equipment
Imagine hosting your event and knowing that everything needed for a stunning buffet is already organised. We bring all the essential equipment—large platters, salad bowls, serving utensils, and even décor to elevate your table presentation. In addition, we provide decorations to enhance the visual appeal of your buffet setup, ensuring a polished and festive atmosphere. This means you won’t have mismatched bowls or broken plates to worry about, and your buffet will look as gorgeous as it tastes.
Having our own equipment also allows us to design a visually cohesive presentation. We carefully select serving dishes to complement each other, ensuring every dish looks inviting. Plus, with the right presentation, your buffet automatically becomes the centrepiece of your gathering.
2. Heat Lamps for Perfect Temperature Control
Nothing spoils a buffet faster than cold food. To ensure your dishes stay hot and delicious, we utilise elegant rose gold heat lamps that stretch over your buffet table. These flexible and tall heat lamps keep your food at perfect serving temperatures, giving your guests a warm, delicious meal.
This technology not only improves food quality but also allows more flexibility in setup and timing, giving our team extra minutes to style and plate your food beautifully, ensuring every dish is Instagram-perfect.
3. Leftovers Made Easy with Takeaway Containers
We know your event might end with a flurry of activity or just the relaxing aftermath. To help you save leftovers, we will supply takeaway containers. We can pack individual containers with each dish or prepare ready-made meals packed with a selection of leftovers. These are perfect for sending guests home with a tasty snack or simply saving some delicious food for later.
This thoughtful touch minimises waste and makes cleanup swift, so you and your guests can leave the event with full stomachs. After the event, our team will coordinate pick-ups of all equipment and supplies, making the logistics of your buffet seamless and stress-free.

Amy Schmitz
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 back time to enjoy the celebration with my family. Matt was timely throughout the entire process, including quoting, invoicing, and the day of arrival and departure. Not to mention the food was DELICIOUS! I could not recommend Matt more highly.
Sandra Suen
I found Catered by Matt on Instagram and decided to look into their offering. I still was not sure if I would go ahead, but then I saw their raving five-star reviews on Google. After a quick phone call and some very clear and helpful communication, I knew we would be using them for our birthday party. We the the buffet package #2 with a lemon curd tart for dessert, and it was AMAZING!
