No Kitchen? No Problem
What sets The Wilderness Chef apart is our ability to create incredible dining experiences in locations with no built in facilities. We regularly cater in fields, forests, beaches, and remote private estates, bringing everything required to prepare, cook, and serve restaurant quality food on site.
Our Wilderness Kitchen (mobile kitchen infrastructure) allows us to operate entirely self sufficiently. From mobile ovens and refrigeration, we can set up a professional kitchen wherever your event takes place.
We have catered weddings on the summit of Mount Hotham, luxury retreats in Tasmania, and corporate events in the Blue Mountains, with the same precision and quality each time.
Over the years, we have been proud to deliver outstanding large scale catering for some of Australia's most recognised names.
