CATERING:The Bush Goddess LOVES to source, prepare and share the fabulous foods from their network of passionate producers and cater for all types of events. Keep in mind we can easily provide a complete gluten-free, vegetarian or vegan menu for you....here are some delicious samples - a winter feast, a mid-summer cocktail party and a long, leisurely lunch.
Some of the excuses for creating an occasion for which we can cater include: - Children's birthday parties - delicious, nutritious and fun-foods without synthetic colourings, highly refined sugar and gut-rotting preservatives. We can create or co-ordinate our menus with any themes.
- Adult's birthday parties - full sit-down dinners, platters, buffets, spit-roasts or cocktail parties - celebrate those birthdays with style and distinction!
- Working lunches: We can bring in platters of nutritious finger-foods, tureens of soup, sourdough breads, fruit platters and health-giving teas and coffees;
- Smokos: keep the brain-juices lively and creative with fantastic and flavoursome home-made savoury and/or sweet muffins (including gluten-free), biscuits, cakes (think of orange-and-poppyseed-with-orange-mint-syrup.);
- Family re-unions: what a great idea! We can organise the complete event for you so you can focus on socialising with your family and we will provide the nourishment;
- Club breakfasts: Turn an early morning training session into a memorable event with a wholesome Bush Goddess breakfast. With our portable cooking equipment, we can whip up a feast almost anywhere and we love a challenge!
