Nutmeg and Pepper was our preferred supplier for all our boat cruises on the Gold Coast Broadwater. Nadene and her team delivered food direct to our boat, where it was fresh and a huge hit with our customers. She understood the challenges of eating food onboard a moving vessel, and made excellent recommendations that were loved by all. Our cruises ranged from hens parties, to birthdays, engagements, weddings and anniversaries. Her extensive range ensured that everyone onboard had their preferences catered for. Her food presentation was A1, prices were reasonable and the quality was excellent. Thank you!

Nutmeg & Pepper Catering were absolute angels. They made our Wedding Day so special with their divine catering, endless options and professional service. Nadene was not only the most amazing chef, catering for all our fussy guests, but her personality and professionalism helped put us at ease throughout the whole process from day one. The food was superb! Exceptional! And if you have the luxury of having her gorgeous catering truck at your event, rest assured, it certainly adds a wonderful atmosphere to the space (beautifully decorated with flowers and fairy lights) I would absolutely recommend Nutmeg & Pepper Catering for any occasion event or function you may have coming up. They are 5 Star All The Way!

Wow thanks for the review Meagen. We really loved Catering for your Wedding and your lovely guests were so complimentary to us on the night. I am glad you loved the way we styled the Food Truck to your Romantic Theme and made her a big part of your Photo/Guest Book sign in area. From all the staff here at Nutmeg and Pepper we wish you both an amazing future together and look forward to Catering at your next Event.

May 2021

During all the Covid Chaos we were left without a Caterer for our reduced number Wedding on Stradbroke Island. Not only did Nutmeg and Pepper match the price and Menu of our previous Caterer but went above and beyond with the styling. There were several delays and even though the service ran overtime the staff were accommodating and went above and beyond. If you want personal service, great food and a reliable Catering Company then we would recommend Nadene and her staff highly

I can't decide between a cocktail reception and sit-down dinner

Help me decide pls! I suppose I'm torn with the sit-down dinner as I don't want to create too much separation.

Nutmeg and Pepper

All though a sit down dinner is nice and formal a cocktail canape service allows you more time to mingle with your guests.

Most of the weddings we have been Catering for this year are hiring Cocktail Tables and allowing more room for guests to dance and move around the event space.

Hope this helps.

How do caterers handle multiple allergies?

My cousin has a whole host of allergies. How do caterers handle this? Should I ask her if she feels more comfortable bringing her own food?

Nutmeg and Pepper

Hi there 

At Nutmeg and Pepper Catering we offer handcrafted, organic and local sourced products - we are able to control exactly what goes into each item that is created for every event. Everything is cooked fresh the night before or the morning of your event.

With our Menus we ask that you choose your preferences and leave the dietary up to us.

10 days before your Wedding Reception we will ask for the Name of each person that requires dietary and their needs. On the day of the wedding we will utilise your seating chart to find them (for the stand and eat we ask that the MC or a Bridal party member please point out your guests with Dietary and they are served separately to the remaining guests to ensure no contamination or confusion of Menu.)

Hope this helps... please feel free to phone or email us here at Nutmeg and Pepper Catering if you wish to chat personally about your needs.

Hayley

How many wine glasses will I need for 100 guests?

Hello, I was just wondering how many glasses I should order for a wedding of 100. Champagne, beer glasses, water glasses wine etc?

Nutmeg and Pepper

Hi there

Generally we will encourage 1.5 glasses of each type required per person.

If we have a glass washing area at the Venue this is quite sufficient.

Feel free to phone or email if you require further assistance.

Thanks and Regards

Nadene and the Team
