Private Event Catering Double Bay
Private event catering in Double Bay focuses on a polished mobile setup, flexible menu choices and service that adapts to the host's schedule and venue.
Double Bay private event catering is its own niche in Sydney. The brief is rarely about volume — most bookings are 20 to 60 guests — and almost always about discretion, quality and visual polish. The penthouses around New South Head Road, the harbourfront homes off Bay Street and the heritage apartments along Cross Street are repeat clients for engagement parties, milestone anniversaries, art-collection unveilings and bespoke birthday events.
What changes for a Double Bay private booking versus a standard suburb job:
- NDA on file before the event date. For confidentiality-sensitive bookings (celebrity bookings, brand launches under embargo, family events that require privacy), we sign mutual NDAs with the host before site visits or contracts.
- Discrete setup. The oven and prep stations are positioned away from the main event sight-line by default. In Double Bay penthouses we often work from the service lobby or a balcony that doesn't face the entertaining area, with pizzas plated and walked through to guests.
- Formal pizzaiolo dress code. Black chef whites with no visible logos, leather brogues instead of trade shoes. The pizzaiolo dresses for the room.
- Custom bespoke menu. For private events we'll consult on signature pizzas using the host's surname spelled out in arugula or family-crest topping art. Lead time 2 weeks for menu design.
Most Double Bay bookings include a sommelier-led wine pairing with the menu, drawing from the host's cellar or paired by us with Hunter Valley Semillon and Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir. Antipasti boards from Sydney's premium delis (Bursaria, A Tavola, Salt Meats Cheese Double Bay) are common pre-service add-ons.
