School & University Catering

Catering for Brisbane schools, universities and childcare

Q: What works best for an open day or graduation?

Food people can eat standing up, holding a program. The Hot Pastry Finger Food Platter - 44 Pieces/Platter is the simplest single choice, and the Finger Sandwich Platter - 50 pairs/platter plus a Seasonal Fresh Fruit Platter (GF)(DF)(VGN)(VEG) covers a crowd with almost no serving to do.

Q: Can you do individual portions for students or staff?

Yes. Individual Garden Salad Pot (GF)(DF)(VGN)(VEG), Individual Chicken Caesar Salad Pot and Fruit Salad Cups (GF)(DF)(VGN)(VEG) are made up one per person, which is easier to hand out than a shared platter. Sandwiches come By Serves too, so you order by head count rather than by box.

Q: How much notice do you need?

Order by 4pm and we'll have it there the next day, with no last-minute surcharge. You pick the date and time at checkout. Need it today? Call (07) 3188 6012.

Q: Can I collect, or do you deliver?

Both. Pick up from 7am at 159 Knapp St, Fortitude Valley, or we deliver across 50+ Brisbane suburbs from $19 on orders of $150 or more, Saturdays at the same rate.

Campus catering runs to a timetable. A canteen service, an open day, a graduation, a staff induction — each one has a moment where the food simply has to be there, ready to go. We cook everything by hand in our Fortitude Valley kitchen and deliver across Brisbane, from individual lunch packs through to catering a full hall.

Laid out ready for the lunch bell

Lunch at a school is a rush with a hard start and a hard finish. Everything arrives packed the way it will be served, so it goes straight onto the counter and the queue keeps moving. What is on offer is pitched for a normal school day rather than a special one, with the richer things saved for the occasions that actually call for them.

Everyday food that fits the criteria

We cater childcare centres, schools, colleges and universities across Brisbane, with healthy choices right through the menu — lean meats and reduced-fat options among them. Our meal deals comply with the Food and Drink Criteria, which separates everyday foods from occasional ones, and the richer items are categorised accordingly. We work with local suppliers for the freshness and quality of what goes in, and everything is made by hand in our own kitchen.

Lunch packs, platters and campus events

Almost everything on our menu can be ordered as individual lunch packs, which suits a group that needs one each rather than a shared table. For a room, our platters are built to have broad appeal rather than to be clever about it. We also cater the bigger dates on the calendar — conferences, staff inductions, graduations and open days — at anything from an intimate function to a large-scale event, with as much or as little planning support as you want from us.

Dietary requirements

Gluten free, dairy free, vegan and vegetarian options run right through the menu. Where one applies, the product image carries an icon so you can see it while you order:

VGN — vegan
VEG — vegetarian
GF — gluten free
DF — dairy free

If there is an allergy or an intolerance in the group, tell us when you order and we will work with it.

3. How do you handle allergies on a campus?

Dietary icons sit right in the product names — VGN vegan, VEG vegetarian, GF gluten free, DF dairy free.

4. Can you cater a whole hall?

Yes — from a staff room of six to a full hall. Order by 4pm the day before and you choose the delivery date and time at checkout, so it lands before the session starts rather than during it. Cakes and cupcakes are the one exception: those need two to three business days.
