With over 15 years of Perth based catering experience at our own venues, it is now time to offer
our services to external clients. We offer the expertise in flavourful food, careful planning and
execution and the understanding of being on time, health conscious, budget friendly for our
corporate clients.

Can you cater for special dietaries?*

Yes! Working in a corporate setting we have extensive experience and training in the safe
handling and preparation of allergen foods. Just advise us of your guests’ needs and we cater
separately or include options in your selected menu. Specialist experience with celiac / gluten-
free, vegan, vegetarian, non-dairy, nut, shellfish and egg allergies and other options. If you or
some of your guests are intolerant, have allergies, or have cultural background requirements,
please let us know and we will accommodate your needs. Our menu items each contain icons
indicating foods that already meet most of these requirements*:

VG - VEGAN
V - VEGETARIAN
GF - GLUTEN FREE
DF - DAIRY FREE
NF – NUT FREE

Please advise of all allergies at the time of ordering as there are strict food handling
requirements.

*Please note, that while every precaution is taken to prevent cross contamination, our kitchen
does contain foods that contact allergens and menu items may contain or come into contact
with wheat, eggs, nuts, shellfish and milk. Ask our staff for more information and please advise
when ordering. We use common fryer oil, meaning we cannot guarantee that your menu item is
free of allergens.
