Why Trust Us With Your Event?
Chef Matt has spent 7+ years in super fine dining restaurants across Sydney. Most notably, 2 years in Quay restaurant, and he brings every bit of that experience to your private dinners. We have catered everything from 2-course plated dinners to 8-course premium degustations, so we can cater to any level of luxury.
The Best Degustation Catering Experience
On the evening of your event, the chef will arrive 60-90 minutes before the first course is served. This will allow him time to prepare and be ready for dinner service. Throughout the evening, the chef will introduce each course, explaining the dishes as the waitress serves them. Each course will not only taste amazing but also look Instagram-worthy. At the end of the service, we’ll clear the table and clean the dishes so you can unwind and enjoy the rest of the evening.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing an event catered by the CBM team, 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 demeanour and attention to detail made our night truly special; it is certainly a memorable event.
Maxime Munoz
I attended it at a party Catered for 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 and a little interaction and left us to enjoy the food. Great meal, great service, great guy.
Greg Laughton
We used Matt’s private chef services for my dad’s 80th birthday lunch. Matt was absolutely lovely to deal with, from the first enquiry, he was always incredibly responsive. On the day, he was amazing – everyone loved the food and raved about how good everything was! He also went above and beyond, helping to cook something for the kids. He is an amazing chef and an all-round lovely person – I would highly recommend him!

We attended a buffet catering event a few months ago that was catered by Matt’s team. Everything we tasted was beyond delicious. The variety of fresh food and tasty proteins was impressive. Because of this, we decided to use Matt for our family dinner last weekend. Our chosen menu was the 2-course degustation. We had the octopus for entrees, and beef short rib for mains (YUM). The service was great, comparable to a fine dining experience in a one or two-hat restaurant. We will be using them again! Thank you.

Matt and Vinnie 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 only they bought everything they needed to provide exceptional service. The Catering service truly elevated our event, couldn’t have asked for a better service.
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
Google needs to add a sixth star for Catered by Matt. Sensational food, very interesting insights into the food and sparkling conversation, Matt is the whole package whether entertaining an intimate dinner for friends or a crowd. And everything was sparkling clean and put away before he finished. Even the bins were emptied! As a host, Matt makes the whole event experience very easy and super enjoyable!
Andrew Rutherford
Matt’s team is amazing. Matt and one other chef catered our family night for a special 50th birthday party last weekend. We were served two courses of incredible food by two amazing waiters. The event felt intimate, the food was fantastic, and the guests were left feeling full and very satisfied. They are brilliant caterers, and we will be using them for our next event!
