Got a bunch of friends together? Are you looking for something special to do for a birthday, wedding, 50th Anniversary? Then head to Port Douglas, north of Cairns, and organise a gourmet indulgence for your special occasion.

A great way of dealing with the irritating bits and pieces of organising enough food and drinks for your holiday is to use a specialised caterer. This is especially useful if you are heading north on a mini-break or for a particular, special occasion.

Based in Port Douglas but capable of providing gourmet spreads throughout the area, Port Douglas Catering & Events can do everything from delivering late night supper packs with fine wines and boutique beers if you arrive late to providing everything for a major event.

With award-winning chefs, the company prides itself on its brilliant meals making use of fresh local produce – particularly seafood caught off Port Douglas – and using local home-made products like chutneys and jams sold at the Port Douglas markets.

The meals are generally light, in keeping with the tropical temperatures, with even the deserts, like the flourless orange and almond cake pictured above, leaving room for more fresh fruit and fine wines.

Tastes range from French cuisine to Asian flavours to anything you desire. If you have a particular type or style of meal required, the fully-trained chefs can whip it up for you.

Port Douglas Catering & Events can also stock your holiday home or villa with a fridge and pantry full of a week’s worth of food covering everything from dietary special needs to unique international tastes. You can make your selections online and all budgets are catered for.

If you fancy yourself a bit of a BBQ chef, the company can provide packs of meats, marinades, salads and condiments or if you’re totally on holiday they’ll provide a chef as well.

For that special occasion meal or event, Port Douglas Catering & Events can organise an intimate dinner for two or a massive spread for you closest 300 friends; the company can even find the ideal location. With over 15 years worth of local knowledge and experience, you’re sure to enjoy a unique experience.

Weddings are, of course, one of Port Douglas Catering & Events’ specialties. They can manage the entire event from food choice to matching décor and fireworks.

With established relationships in the Port Douglas and Mossman area, the company has created a number of very beautiful weddings providing everything from accommodation to fairy-lights in bamboo groves and wedding celebrants.

The company also does corporate events with entertainment and fabulous logos out-lined in fireworks.

Port Douglas Catering has won Regional and State titles in the Restaurant & Catering Awards Queensland for the last two year running and their clients keep coming back for more.
