From scratch. No shortcuts, no concentrates, no preservatives.

Whole ingredients. Nothing added, nothing faked. We cook in our own kitchen in Castle Hill, which means we can tell you exactly what is in a dish — because we put it there.

The crispy chicken

Chicken breast and panko. Not a reconstituted schnitzel pressed into a shape. It goes into the bao, the sliders and the bánh mì the same way.

The roast beef

A whole rump, slow roasted for eight hours, then carved. Nothing processed, no preservatives, no deli meat off a slicer.

The sauces and marinades

Made here, not poured from a concentrate. Ask what is in one and we can list it, which matters when someone at the table needs to know.

Some things cannot be rushed.

What it costs

Per-head packages, priced by how many people you’re feeding. Set your headcount and the rates below update. Each package includes juice, delivery and GST, and a set number of menu choices.

Delivered ready to serve

Food arrives on kraft or reusable platters, arranged and ready to go straight out. Dietary items are separated and labelled so nobody has to ask what is in what. At Greenhouse, your event team takes it from there.

The price you see is the price you pay

GST and delivery to the venue are already in every figure on this page. No card surcharge, no delivery line added at checkout, no service fee.

A social enterprise

We employ and train people from refugee and migrant backgrounds. Catering with us can count toward your organisation’s social procurement commitments.

On the day

Every order arrives arranged and ready to serve. For events that need more than that, we can bring flowers, display trays and style the whole table. A few recent events.

How it works

You choose the dishes. We work out the platter sizes and quantities so there is enough for everyone, and we set it up before your guests arrive.

Choosing your menu

Your package includes a set number of choices, shown above. A choice is a dish, not a flavour — pick bao and you can have all five fillings on the platter for one choice. A vegetarian version of a dish you’ve already chosen is free.

Portions

We build to a piece count per person, not a guess:

  • Breakfast — 3 to 4 pieces each
  • Morning or afternoon tea — 2 to 3 pieces
  • Lunch — 4 to 5 pieces
  • Canapés — 6 to 7 pieces

Dietary requirements

Tell us the counts — how many gluten free, vegan, halal, dairy free — and we build them into the platters and label them clearly on the day. Most of our menu is naturally gluten free or can be made so.

What’s included

Delivery to the venue, on catering kraft platters or reusable platters, arranged and ready to serve. Suited to everyday meetings and functions. At Greenhouse your event team sets the food out for your guests.

Staff and beverages

If you want the food served rather than laid out, staff are $70 per person per hour with a two-hour minimum, roughly one for every 40 guests. Canapé events usually run three hours, and tray service is available — talk to us about it. Beverages are quoted on request.

Full event set-up

For the events that have to impress, we bring fresh flowers, display trays and stands, and build the whole food table to suit the occasion. Quoted separately — tell us what the event is and we’ll design it around you.

Lead time

48 hours’ notice for confirmed orders. Tell us as early as you can for large or heavily customised events and we will hold the date.

Ordering at Greenhouse

Your Greenhouse event manager places the order and it goes on your event invoice. You never deal with a separate catering account, and all the detail stays in one email thread.

Tell us the date and the headcount.

Send us the meal, the number of guests and anything you already know about dietary needs. We’ll come back with a menu built to your package, usually the same day.
