Why We Love Catering Inner West Events

The Inner West offers a perfect backdrop for exceptional events. From heritage-listed terrace houses to modern waterfront venues, every location brings its own charm. Whether it’s a Balmain rooftop lunch, a Glebe degustation dinner, or a special day shared with family and friends, we create memorable dining experiences using fresh seasonal produce and vibrant flavours.

Chef Matt’s Favourite Inner West Venues

“For fine dining, I love Sixpenny in Stanmore – an intimate experience where every course feels like a piece of culinary art.

For perfectly crafted cocktails, Fortunate Son in Enmore is a standout – intimate, vibrant, and known for some of the best drinks in Sydney.

And for authentic flavours, Urban Spices in Balmain offers incredible dishes that showcase bold, aromatic spices and perfectly balanced plates.”
