Our delicious Story
In our words…
We started out just a dream. A twinkle in our founder Desmond Foulstone’s eyes.
Our founder, Desmond Foulstone, a hospitality aficionado, wanted to float an event catering company that lived up to its promise. A catering company dedicated to delivering a sustainable “farm-to-kitchen-to-table” culinary experience in an event setting.
Lo and behold something delicious happened – one catered event to a friend’s 50th became hundreds of catered events, a ten-member catering outfit became a 100 + strong crew; and catering just special occasions became large event catering. Thanks to word-of-mouth and life-long fans, today, we’ve grown exponentially to become one of the most sort after caterer to some of Melbourne’s most prestige and memorable events.
Our purpose…
But our larger purpose expands beyond that. Far beyond!
We believe that catering is more than just food on a plate. For us at Silverline Caterers; it’s about the ingredients we so thoughtfully source, the food we so lovingly prepared…it’s about the elements we so beautifully present, the relationship we build with our clients, and most importantly it’s about the people we work with and the community we serve.
That’s the Silverline Caterers way of being. We live it every day.
