Planner's guide
Best For: Corporate lunch meetings and office events, mid-sized private celebrations (50-200 guests), community gatherings and fundraisers, conference catering and all-day event support
What planners usually like:
- Extended operating hours (8 AM–6 PM weekdays, 8 AM–5 PM weekends) provide flexibility for events starting early or running into evening
- Sydney CBD location on Denison Street offers convenient logistics and relatively quick delivery for central Sydney venues
- Full-service catering eliminates the need to source food separately, simplifying your vendor coordination
Things to clarify before booking:
- Confirm minimum guest counts and whether they accommodate smaller, intimate events (10-20 people)
- Ask about delivery fees, setup services, and whether they provide serving staff, tables, or equipment as part of packages
- Verify menu variety and dietary accommodation options (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal) before committing
- Understand their booking lead times, particularly for weekends and peak event seasons in Sydney
Common questions
What's the typical lead time required to book EatFirst for my event?
Most catering services in Sydney require 7-14 days notice for standard events, though larger functions may need 2-3 weeks. Contact EatFirst directly at +61 1300 851 900 to confirm their specific booking window and any seasonal availability constraints.
Can EatFirst accommodate dietary requirements and food allergies?
Most professional catering services offer vegetarian, vegan, and allergy-conscious options. Reach out directly to discuss your specific dietary needs—this is critical to confirm before finalizing your menu to avoid last-minute complications.
Are serving staff and equipment (plates, cutlery, tables) included in catering quotes?
This varies significantly between catering providers. Some include basic service, while others charge separately for staffing and equipment hire. Get a detailed breakdown from EatFirst about what's included versus what's additional before comparing pricing with other vendors.
How far from Denison Street will EatFirst deliver, and are there delivery fees?
Sydney's inner west and CBD are typically well-served, but outer suburbs may incur travel charges. Ask about their delivery radius and whether fees apply based on distance—this affects your final catering budget.
What if I need to adjust guest numbers close to my event date?
Catering services usually have cut-off dates for changes (typically 48-72 hours before the event). Clarify EatFirst's policy on adjustments to ensure you have flexibility if your guest count shifts unexpectedly.
Can EatFirst provide menu samples or tastings before I commit?
Many catering companies offer tasting sessions for larger events. Ask whether EatFirst arranges this and whether there's a fee—tasting the food beforehand reduces risk for significant events.
