Christmas Catering Packages in Newcastle & Lake Macquarie | The Wilderness Chef
Christmas is a time for good food, full tables and catching up with the people you love. But if you’re the one cooking, preparing and organising the meal, it can be hard to enjoy the day yourself.
This year, let The Wilderness Chef take care of the cooking with our Christmas catering packages in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie. Our chefs have prepared a festive banquet featuring delicious proteins, seasonal sides and a decadent dessert option, all ready for you to reheat and serve at home.
Whether you're hosting a relaxed family Christmas, a long lunch with friends or a small corporate celebration, our pre-cooked Christmas meals make entertaining that little bit easier.
Picture Christmas morning with your apron off
The kids are tearing into their presents while you sit back with a coffee. Nanna has your full attention. Someone's pouring a spritz before midday, and nobody's asking when lunch will be ready.
When it's time to eat, there's no need to spend hours preparing the meal. Simply reheat your fresh pre-prepared dishes, set the table and bring everyone together for a generous Christmas feast.
Think crispy roasted pork with caramelised apple chutney and gravy, slow-cooked chicken with buttermilk ranch, golden layered potato bake and fresh seasonal sides. If you choose our two-course package, there's a Belgian chocolate brownie dessert to finish things on a sweet note.
And the best part? You're sitting at the table enjoying it all, too.

Christmas catering with less stress and more time together
We know how much work goes into hosting Christmas, which is why we've designed our packages to make the food side of things easier.
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what Megan had to say after enjoying our Christmas feast last year:
“Had the Christmas feast last year and it was amazing! Happily booked again for this year to enjoy great food, no stress and time with family. Highly recommend.”
That's exactly what we want for you: delicious food on the table, time to enjoy the people around it, and a Christmas day that feels a little less hectic.

There's no set guest limit. Our Christmas catering packages are priced and packed per guest, so simply select the quantity that matches your head count when placing your order.
Whether you're feeding a small family or hosting a larger Christmas gathering, you can order the number of serves you need.
