About

We started by feeding people who had no kitchen

How a twenty-one day menu written in 2017 became a kitchen that can put out 10,000 meals a day.

The problem we were built to solve

A partner organisation serving vulnerable communities needed quality meals and had no kitchen facility. Our Executive Director stepped in: wrote a comprehensive twenty-one day menu, assembled a team of food-service professionals, and started cooking.

That is still the backbone of the business. We work across the social and community support sector alongside corporate functions, weddings, private celebrations and large-scale events.

What the kitchen does now

Our kitchen can prepare and deliver up to 10,000 meals a day. That capacity is why a forty-person boardroom lunch and a four-hundred-person reception get the same operation behind them.

What we are here for

Our mission is to make every gathering special — a wedding, a corporate function or a community programme. More than food, it is the reason people end up in the same room.

The guest were happy and full. I highly recommend this venue for your next function.”

“I recently hired Alpha Katering for a two-day event, and we were very impressed. The food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. Sheldon and his team were incredibly professional, reliable, and attentive to our needs throughout the planning process and on-site. Even when we had last-minute adjustments to our guest count and logistics, the team was flexible and easy to work with. We will definitely be reaching out to them for our future events.”

Jess Smith

“Chef Sheldon catered my celebration and he was phenomenal. The salmon display with the snappers hanging was a presentation I’d never seen before — absolutely stunning and my guests couldn’t stop talking about it. The dessert spread was just as impressive. The food was scrumptious, perfectly seasoned, beautifully plated, and served on time with excellence. Professional, reliable, and attentive from start to finish. Highly recommend!”
