Richmond Corporate & Private Event Catering

Richmond moves fast, and it expects a lot from anyone catering an event there. Whether it’s a product launch in a Cremorne tech office or a milestone dinner in a converted warehouse, the standard is high and there’s no room for a late delivery or a cold entrée.

Catering Richmond premium event food styling

We run everything out of our commercial kitchen in Mentone, a straight run up the highway into Richmond, Abbotsford and East Melbourne. Most of the heavy prep happens before we leave. Cold items travel in refrigerated vehicles, hot items get finished on-site, and your food arrives the way it’s meant to taste.

We handle the inner-east logistics regularly, including events along Swan Street and Church Street. Our chefs bring what they need to finish and plate on-site, working with whatever kitchen space your venue has. You focus on your guests, we handle the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you keep food fresh travelling from Mentone to Richmond?

Cold items travel in refrigerated vehicles and stay chilled the whole way. Hot items are finished on-site by our chefs once we arrive, so nothing sits waiting. Mentone to Richmond is a short, direct run, which keeps transit time to a minimum.

Can you cater a warehouse or loft wedding in Richmond, Cremorne or Abbotsford?

Yes, we cater inner-city warehouse and loft weddings across all three regularly, converted factories, blank-canvas studios and galleries included. We offer everything from roving canapés to full plated dining, and adapt to whatever kitchen facilities the venue has. Email events@hlbcatering.com.au to talk through your venue.

Do you cater corporate offices and creative agencies in Cremorne and Abbotsford?

Yes, we cater the inner-east business district regularly, including Cremorne, Abbotsford and East Melbourne. Working lunches, individual lunch boxes, boardroom dining, we handle transit and table service so your team can stay focused on the day.

What if my Richmond venue doesn't have kitchen infrastructure?

That's fine, most of our cooking happens at our Mentone kitchen, so venues only need minimal space to plate up. For completely bare spaces, we can bring in extra equipment or set up a simple field kitchen on-site.

Are there travel fees for Richmond bookings?

Fully staffed functions and larger corporate events outside our immediate Bayside area may include a travel fee, covering staff, chefs and refrigerated transport. It's listed clearly in your quote upfront, so there's nothing to catch you out later. Email events@hlbcatering.com.au for a quote.
