EFFORTLESS EVENT CATERING

Small Plates Catering

Premium Small Plate & Tapas Style Catering for Melbourne Events

Looking for COVID-sensitive catering? Or just something different at your next event?

At Party Food Melbourne, our more socially distanced small plates are a popular COVID-safe catering choice. Our menus were created specifically to offer socially-separated mini meals, served progressively to guests wherer they sit, well-spaced around the boardroom table or any other socially distanced setting.

Our mini meals may need a fork or spoon, but not the full cutlery kit, so, whilst a table and chair is handy, this style of catering is often not served in a formal dining room as a plated meal experience. Organisers love the flexibility of service as it can better suit activities-based events where you want a more interactive participation. enables and special diet foods provide a generous selction, and easily accommodate a spectrum of dietary requirements. Choose small plate catering alone, or blend with our other catering for the perfect modern catering complement for your birthday, wedding, christening, corporate event or other occasion.

You may be interested to learn that our packages were adapted from the tapas-style catering, versatile small plate catering packages are designed with your taste buds, guest comfort, deliciousness and event-organiser effortlessness in mind.

Our team of professional caterers can help you plan your catering needs and to choose a mini meal menu that is perfect for your occasion and welcomes all of your guests. For us, food is personal.

Best Lunch Ever!

Tony Ma, SAL Australia
“Thank you so much for making our event on Saturday night such a success. It was good knowing that everything was in such good hands and I could relax and enjoy the evening. Everyone commented on the quality (and quantity) of the food. Thank you for your guidance in getting it all just right.
Also your staff on the night were so helpful, pleasant, efficient and just plain lovely. I will certainly use your company in the future and recommend you to friends.
Many, many thanks,
Deborah”
Deborah Fabbro, Treasurer, Brighton Theatre Company
We received so many compliments on the delicious food and variety of food options. Many people commented that the service was excellent. Lindy was especially friendly, being mindful to offer particular food options to those who had specific dietary requirements and preferences. We had a great night. I will definitely keep Party Food Melbourne’s details handy for future functions!
Best wishes, Bianca
Bianca, Engagement Party
