  • Once your date is confirmed, I’ll check in to understand your preferences, dietary needs, and any must-haves. Then I’ll design a custom, seasonal menu just for you. On the day, I’ll arrive with everything needed, cook in your kitchen, plate each course beautifully, and leave your space spotless.

  • I cater for intimate groups of 2 to 30 guests. Whether it’s an intimate dinner for two or a special gathering with friends, I’ll tailor the menu and experience to suit.

  • I’m based in Byron Bay and travel across the Northern Rivers — including Ewingsdale, Bangalow, Suffolk Park, and the surrounding hinterland.

    If you're just outside the region, feel free to get in touch and I’ll see what’s possible.

  • Fridays and Saturdays tend to book out 2–3 months ahead, so the earlier the better.

    Midweek bookings can often be secured with 2–3 weeks’ notice — but feel free to get in touch even if it’s sooner.
