⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We had a very last-minute catering request for a high-end developer event, and Matt absolutely saved the day. Despite the short notice, he quickly arranged for one of his chefs, Keir, to take care of everything. Keir was professional, friendly, and engaging with our guests, making the experience even more enjoyable. Most importantly, the food was exceptional beautifully presented and absolutely delicious.The service from start to finish was seamless, and nothing felt rushed despite the tight timeframe. I highly recommend Catered by Matt and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again for future events.Thank you, Matt and Keir, for going above and beyond! More...

We had an event in the northern beaches for a corporate team gathering and engaged Matt's team for the afternoon. Chef Vince was fantastic—super accommodating, professional, and calm. The Parmesan puffs and salmon rillette were absolute standouts. The event from start to finish was handled incredibly well. We will be mentioning their name to anyone who needs a caterer. More...

Matt created an unforgettable dining experience for my mum's 80th birthday. He was incredibly patient with the younger kids in our group, had a lovely manner with the older guests, and the food presentation was restaurant-quality. He made hosting completely stress-free, and walking into a pristine kitchen at the end of the night was the ultimate gift.We've already passed their details on to several of our friends! More...

We’ve worked with Catered by Matt across a number of events now and every single experience has been exceptional. Matt and his team consistently deliver at such a high standard, from the quality of the food and beverages, to the professionalism of the service, right through to the overall execution of the event. What really stands out is how seamless they make everything feel. No matter the size or style of the event, the team is calm, organised and incredibly detail-oriented, which makes a huge difference when hosting guests. The presentation is always beautiful, the food is consistently outstanding, and the service staff are warm, polished and attentive without ever feeling overbearing.Our guests regularly comment on how impressed they are, and we always receive amazing feedback after events catered by Matt. It’s rare to find a catering partner that you can trust completely, but Matt and his team have become exactly that for us. Couldn’t recommend them more highly. More...

Can not recommend Catered By Matt highly enough. Great communication during the planning phase for our event. Able to cheerfully accommodate a few last minute changes. Matt was our chef plus Phoebe as waitperson and Martin as barman. All very good at their roles and very pleasant to work with. Food was varied and all very tasty. Having CBM in our home made us able to enjoy a special event even more. Thanks to the team. More...

We contacted Matt and the team to cater for my 60th birthday party - we ended up with 40 people. From the very first interaction the communication with Jess and Johanna was clear and timely. They helped us choose the right number of canapés for our guests, as well as a cheese plate. The food was a huge hit with everyone and a highlight of the evening. I’d recommend Matt and the team for an event as they were so easy to deal with and it all worked seamlessly. Thank you very much from all of us who had a great evening, in no small part due to Marco (chef for the night) and the team. More...

We had a party for 46 friends -- mainly aged 60+ but some younger people as well. It proved to be an excellent evening, partly due to the quiet, efficient and very friendly service by Matt's team of Vinny, Lucio and Calum. The food was canapés. some substantial, and they were excellent. Everyone said so. They kept glasses filled, as requested. And before leaving they tidied up, washed dishes and left everything tidy and unbroken! They fitted in very well to the kitchen and other areas, without intruding on the festivities. Vinnie cut up the cake I'd brought in, and served it, and they offered to help in any way we wanted. So no wonder we give Catered By Matt a five-star review. And on top of that they left US a bottle of superior wine to say thank you to US !! I meant to give THEM a bottle each! Next time, maybe! We'd certainly be keen for us and our friends to 'use' them again! More...

First time having an in-home event catered...but it won't be the last. First and foremost the food was amazing! The oven baked salmon and the beef fillet were melt in your mouth. Side dishes all prepared to perfection. The staff on the day (George & Martin) were there but not there. They just moved about seamlessly attending to everything that needed attending to, but at the same time you didn't realise they were there. The extra food was packed away and the dishes and glassware were all carefully cleaned. It was absolutely worth the cost to be able to enjoy the function without being in the kitchen preparing food and best of all the clean up was done. Highly recommended and look forward to working with Matt and the team in the future. More...

We had an outstanding experience with this catering company from start to finish. The food was truly at a level you would expect from a high-end fine dining restaurant, beautifully presented, perfectly balanced flavours, and exceptional quality across every dish. The attention to detail from Chef Vincent was evident in everything, from the freshness of the ingredients to the thoughtful plating and seamless service. Nothing felt rushed or overlooked, and it was clear that a lot of pride and care goes into what they do. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how incredible the food was, and many asked for their details by the end of the event. Professional, reliable, and genuinely impressive — this is catering done properly. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their event with truly exceptional food and service. More...
