The Wilderness Chef team is experienced in catering all forms of events in locations across Australia. Based in Newcastle, we regularly service the Hunter Valley, Port Stephens, Central Coast, Port Macquarie, Blue Mountains, Sydney, South Coast, Mid-North Coast & beyond!!
The Wilderness Chef is happy to cater events of all sizes ranging from intimate dining experiences to events with more than 250 guests including but not limited to corporate functions, weddings, private events, birthdays, engagements & everything in between.
One huge factor that separates us from your regular catering company is our unique approach to food, and our ability to cater for events with minimal, or even no facilities.
If your event is hosted in an area with no kitchen facilities, we simply provide our own instead!! We also can cater in venues that have their own full commercial kitchen, partial kitchen, airbnbs with residential kitchens, or venues with no kitchen at all.
Whilst we offer a selection of seasonal menus to suit most events we are also more than happy to create a menu to suit your budget, style, event, location, seasonality & dietary requirements.
We offer a range of packages and different dining styles - including delightful canapés, extravagant banquet share plates, buffet style feasts, alternate drop dining & everything in between.
Find out more about our most popular dining styles below.
If we don’t have a package that suits your event we can customise a boutique package just for you!!
We can provide it all: Plates, Cutlery, Linen Napkins, Waitstaff, Menu Design, Run Sheets & more

Ideal for those who value togetherness and relaxed conversations, our banquet share plate option brings people closer around beautifully presented platters.
Whether it’s an intimate meal or mass catering for 250 plus, banquet dining has quickly become the most popular option for sit-down events.
Banquet share plates are served down the centre of the table, giving guests the opportunity to serve themselves as they please whilst staying seated & interacting over an elaborate spread. We offer an extensive, ever-changing seasonal menu providing you with the choice of multiple protein & vegetable based dishes.
Perfect for weddings, gatherings, and events focused on connection.

Individually plated/alternate drop dining is perfect for formal sit-down events such as corporate functions, weddings & private events.
We offer a range of packages featuring finely tuned entrees, mains & desserts to suit all occasions.
Choose your preferred number of courses, and menu options. You also have the option to add extras such as canapés during cocktail hour, followed by a 3 course individually plated meal.
Each guest receives their own beautifully presented plate, crafted with care and precision. It's an opportunity to indulge in a menu designed for enjoyment at every individual's pace and preference.

buffet
tables
Buffet Tables are a great way of feeding any number of guests. We find a lot of customers like the idea of a buffet table as it allows for added space on the tables for floral arrangements, candles, beverages, etc.
With our Buffet Tables, the food is served on a seperate table where guests can walk past and serve themselves.
Guests can explore a tempting array of dishes, serving themselves to their heart's content.
This interactive dining style allows for customisation and ensures that everyone finds a favourite, making it an excellent choice for large gatherings and diverse palates.
