About What We Do...

All of our menus are tailored around your specific needs and requirements. Utilising the best that is on offer - whether it be local produce or international fare, Hand Made Catering only uses reputable suppliers, who deal with the highest quality produce.

Our beef is sourced from the pristine grasslands of tranquil Tasmania, where the animals run free range and are grown with minimal human interaction (chemical and hormone free). Cape Grim beef is used in some of the best restaurants in the world, so you can be guaranteed that it is the best there is. We use MSA grade beef which is guaranteed to be tender or your money back!

We also specialise in Wagyu beef. This super premium product comes from specialist Central Queensland feedlots where the animals are fed on grain for up to 600 days. The quality of the meat produced is like no other. Using traditional methods, pure Wagyu bloodlines as well as a very strict grading system, we guarantee that you are getting one of the finest products in the world.

Our Lamb we use is sourced from local South Australian farms including the Barossa Valley, Adelaide Hills, Coonawarra & Clare Valley, which we have direct standards in sizing, age and feeding. This guarantees a consistent and premium product every time.

Free range chickens are used for our base menus. Hand Made Catering ensures that only the freshest and best quality will be used for your event. Our more advanced menus use corn fed poultry, different breeds and different growing methods; depending on the menus and applications.

Our seafood is sourced from several suppliers, ensuring that the freshest and best quality is maintained. Regular communication with Australia's premier seafood suppliers guarantees a fresh consistent product. Our menus focus on seafood from the crystal waters of Australia.

The freshest fruit and vegetables are sourced from throughout Australia, with a large focus on boutique growers in South Australia, in particular from the gardens of those that sell at the Barossa Farmer's Market.

Finally the finest French truffles, foie gras, specific oils and vinegars, rubs, charcuterie, cheeses, chocolate, caviar, mushrooms and butters from all over the world help produce our gastronomic promise to you.
We know that quality products are paramount in producing our menu. Working together with our trusted suppliers we ensure perfection every time. If there are any products which you would specifically like, we are willing to source them for you.
