Cold Food Catering Sydney CBD

Cold food catering is food that is made, packed and served cold or at room temperature, with no reheating and no hot trays on the table. It suits meetings with no fixed break, events that run for several hours, offices without a kitchen, and summer days when nobody wants anything hot. It is also the simplest food to set out at the back of a training room.

Cold does not have to mean dull. On an Italian table, plenty of the best food is served cold: antipasto, cured meats and cheese, pasta fredda and riso freddo in summer, a well-made panino. That is the version we cook, with fresh salads and fruit alongside it for lighter appetites.

Sandwiches and wraps: the Mix Sandwiches, Mix Wrap and Mix Sandwich & Wrap platters, and single sandwiches from Mortadella, Burrata & Pistachio to Tuna, Avocado & Capers. Salads: sharing trays and individual bowls, the Caesar, Riso Freddo and Insalata Russa. Boards: the Italian Deli Grazing Board, cheese, charcuterie and vegetable boards, and the Gourmet Bruschetta Platter.

Then fruit platters and fruit skewers, breakfast boxes, yoghurt and bircher pots, cannoli, scones, cakes and cookies. For a cold lunch of 12, two sandwich platters and two sharing salads is a solid base, with a grazing board if the meeting runs into the afternoon. Every product lists how many it serves.

Cold food shows its age faster than hot food, so freshness is everything. Our sandwiches, salads and boards are made in our own kitchen on Bent Street on the day they are delivered, by the chefs who run the cafe. No outsourced production, and no platters sitting in a cool room waiting for a van.

We deliver ourselves, in our own van, to your floor rather than the front desk, so cold platters go straight from the van into your meeting room. Because we are in the middle of the CBD, the trip to towers like Aurora Place, 1 Bligh Street and Governor Macquarie Tower is short, and we know the loading docks at International Towers in Barangaroo and Quay Quarter.

The cold range has the widest choice for mixed groups. Vegan: the Marinated Vegetables, Pinzimonio and Green Goddess boards, White Quinoa Salad, fruit platters and the Grilled Vegan Halloumi and Vegan Schnitzel sandwiches. Gluten-free: single sandwiches on gluten-free bread, the charcuterie and cheese boards, the breakfast boxes and many salads. Halal-certified options run across most of our menus.

Tell us about allergies when you order and we cross-check every item for peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, shellfish, eggs, gluten and dairy. Every platter and individually packed item is labelled. Our kitchen is not a fully allergen-free environment, so for complex needs, call us before ordering and we will confirm each item.

We deliver cold catering across the Sydney CBD, Martin Place, Wynyard, Barangaroo and Circular Quay, and out to Pyrmont, Ultimo, Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, Potts Point, Woolloomooloo, North Sydney, Crows Nest, Chatswood, Macquarie Park and the inner Eastern Suburbs.
