Our Christmas Day Boxes
Let us make Christmas look effortless with one of our Christmas Day Boxes
While holidays and family gatherings are intended to be a fun and special time, sometimes they can unfortunately be a stressful experience. Perhaps now is the time to change things up and try something new to make this holiday season the best one yet!
Let us take the stress away from Christmas Day by delivering your Christmas dinner almost ready to serve. With just a small amount of heating or cooking, it will leave you with some much-needed time with family and friends.
Deliveries and pickups are on 23 December, so you’re all set on Christmas morning. There is a small delivery fee or you can collect it from our kitchen in Kingsland. Minimum of 6 people per order.
Corporate Catering
Whether it's a product launch, a training day, a hospitality event, a business lunch or your Christmas party, we can provide delicious and exciting menu options to suit all tastes.
Our catering options range from canapes and cocktails to three-course meals, shared plates, walk-and-fork meals, buffets and branded food stations.
Now that Summer is arriving, why not look at a company picnic! A picnic is a great way to get your staff out of the office, fuel a team-building day or entertain clients in a stunning location in the sunshine.
"We chose the Gourmet BBQ catering option by Free Range Chef for our Summer garden wedding which was held at my parent's property. Everyone was blown away by the delicious canapes and dinner. The wait staff were superb and ensured everyone was well fed & watered. They didn't need any direction on the day and did a great job cleaning up afterward. The leftover steak and salads were given to us, which my parents appreciated while I was off on my honeymoon. I definitely recommend Free Range Catering for your next event!"
