Summer & Boat Catering Sydney

Summer catering is food built for life outdoors: picnics, brunches, garden parties, boat days and Friday client lunches on a balcony instead of a boardroom. The format depends on the occasion: individually packed boxes for a beach day, grazing boards for a garden party, sealed cold platters for a boat trip.

Sydney businesses and hosts use summer catering for end-of-year wind-downs, outdoor client hospitality, boat charters, family get-togethers and long weekend gatherings. What separates good summer catering from bad is whether the food actually survives the heat and the trip. That's exactly what we've built EATALO's summer menu to do.

Chartering a boat out of Rose Bay, Double Bay or the CBD this summer? EATALO delivers straight to the marina or wharf: platters and grazing boxes built to survive a cooler bag and still taste like they didn't, cold seafood, cured meats, cheese, fresh salads and things you can eat one-handed while someone else drives.

Order at least 48 hours ahead. We've catered boat days out of Rose Bay Marina, Double Bay wharf and around the King Street Wharf precinct, among other spots on the harbour. If you're planning catering for a yacht charter or boat day, we'd like to hear from you.

We cook everything in-house at our Martin Place kitchen, same as always. No outsourced production, no central commissary. The same chefs who run the café cook every summer platter that leaves the kitchen.

We deliver ourselves, our van, our driver, straight to the marina where that applies, not just your front desk. Our menu changes with the season instead of reheating the same wrap all year, because good food in January looks nothing like good food in July.

Every EATALO catering menu, including our summer menu, carries vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free options as standard. We also carry Halal-certified options across most menus. Tell us about any allergies or intolerances in your group and we'll cross-check every item before it leaves the kitchen.

Every platter and individually packed item is labelled clearly, no guesswork at the table or on the boat. For groups with complex dietary requirements, please call us rather than ordering online so we can confirm every item before we cook.

We deliver summer catering across the Sydney CBD, Barangaroo, Wynyard, Martin Place, Circular Quay, Pyrmont, Ultimo, Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, Potts Point, Woolloomooloo and the inner Eastern Suburbs, plus straight to marinas and wharves around the harbour for boat and yacht bookings, including Rose Bay, Double Bay and Circular Quay. For other addresses, contact us to confirm.

Same-day catering is available for most orders, call before 9am and we'll tell you honestly whether we can make it work. Boat and yacht bookings need at least 48 hours' notice. We deliver Monday to Friday; for weekend boat bookings, contact us directly.

Browse the menus above and add to cart, or contact us directly to talk through your order. Minimum order for delivery is $100, and pick-up from the cafe has no minimum.

For boat and yacht catering, get in touch at least 48 hours ahead so we can confirm packing and timing around your departure. For regular summer office catering, we offer the same standing accounts as always: preferred delivery time, dietary preferences on file and invoicing on terms.
