Catering The Full Catastrophe
canapes
Put your own menu together or ask us to make the selections for you. Whether it be a one hour post ceremony snack with a glass of bubbles or a four hour full meal replacement, our selection is second to none. These beautiful morsels can also be served in conjunction with bowl foods for longer events.
buckets and bowls
‘bowl food’ is a great way to offer something a little more substantial & ensure your cocktail party guests go home fully sated
bigger bites
wanting something a little more filling for your guests? Or perhaps a ‘soaker’ for the end of the night? Big bites are for you
banquet
Banquets are a great way to eat if you’re celebrating; be it a wedding, a 50th or an anniversary. Gone are the days of the plated meal. Everyone loves having food options and our banquets give plenty.
sitdown packages
Our background in multi-hatted restaurants (Blakes, Stella & Blakes Cafeteria) is reflected in our sit-down menus. Choose from our packages or talk to us about Andrew creating a menu to suit your tastes and occasion. From a two course boardroom lunch to an eight course wine dinner and everything in between, our dishes reflect the freshest available seasonal produce and contemporary presentation.
bbq & buffet
We live in bbq country and are blessed with bbq weather. So why not consider a relaxed bbq instead of a more formal sit-down dinner? Our bbq menus can be served as fork buffets if there is standing room only, as a buffet or as a banquet down the middle of each table. Three packages offer something for everyone and items can be mixed and matched from different packages if you really want to!
working day
No platters of quartered sandwiches here! Our bagels, ciabattas, wraps & sandwiches are made with artisan breads & fillings. Our salads changes monthly, not seasonally & all bakery & pastry items are made in-house.
beverages
Blakes Feast Catering offers three sensibly priced beverage packages showcasing wines from the regions that make them best. All packages include peroni, capi mineral water & fruit sodas.

About us A moment in history
Blakes Feast is a family-run business, spearheaded by one of Melbourne's most influential chefs, Andrew Blake, a true food innovator.
What started as a two-person show in 1992 has grown organically into Melbourne's premier catering company. It's been a long journey (and there's been plenty of bumps along the way), but what sets us apart is our approach.
Scene-stealing food, attention to detail and a flexible, yet no-nonsense style are the hallmarks of Blakes Feast.
At the heart of everything we do, you'll find two ongoing themes: food and family.
When planning your event, you'll speak to a family member at some stage. You'll learn that we don’t compromise on quality at any stage of the process.
And you'll discover why this works: our hands-on approach means we can deliver you an exemplary service without exception. It's what separates us from the rest of the catering pack.
Our collective experience in restaurants, cafés, bars and catering venues ensures your next event is delivered with contemporary flair, innovation and imagination.
It's one of the reasons we were awarded 'Wedding Caterer of the Year' in 2013 by the Restaurant & Catering Association and were again a finalist in 2014.
When we're not organising weddings, corporate events or parties big and small, you'll find us catering some of Melbourne's premier events at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Land Rover Polo in the City and the Melbourne Cup Carnival at Flemington Racecourse.
Blakes Feast – food worth celebrating.
