About us
A personal experience
At Spare Chef Catering, we’re passionate about creating memorable food experiences that bring people together. Based on the Mid North Coast, our team caters everything from intimate backyard celebrations and weddings to large-scale corporate functions, race days and community events. As the in-house caterers for Coffs Harbour Racing Club, we’ve built a strong reputation for quality food, reliable service and the ability to cater events both large and small. While we take our food and service seriously, we also believe catering should feel relaxed, enjoyable and personal, with a team that’s approachable, organised and genuinely loves what they do.
Our difference
What sets Spare Chef Catering apart is our combination of experience, flexibility and genuine care for our clients. As fully mobile caterers, we can transform almost any location into a functional catering space, from beaches and paddocks to venues, offices and private homes. Beyond the food itself, we pride ourselves on our communication, planning and attention to detail, helping make the catering process feel seamless from the first enquiry through to the final pack down. With experienced chefs, professional service staff and fully licensed mobile bar options available, we create catering experiences that feel polished without ever feeling overcomplicated or impersonal.
