The Wilderness Chef - Wallsend, New South Wales

The Wilderness Chef team catered our wedding reception at Berry Hill and did a fantastic job! Not only was the food they created absolutely delicious, they were able to easily provide a completely gluten free menu so that I, the bride who also happens to have coeliac disease, didn’t have to worry about getting sick on my wedding day. The guests were blown away by the canapés and meals - they were of the highest quality, fresh and delicious. We had an excellent experience with The Wilderness Chef right from the initial contact, through planning and the menu designing process, to the delicious food served on the day. Their ability to feed us all on a property beside the Hawkesbury river was amazing, we only had to provide a covered work area and power, and they worked their magic. We would 100% recommend The Wilderness Chef to anyone getting married or holding an event where catering is required.

From the first bite of a Wilderness Chef arancini ball over 12 months ago - handed to us by Jody with a cheerful smile, we knew immediately that this was the crew to cater our wedding!
The food is absolutely to die for but above that it's the way that Cooper and the team make you feel, they're knowledgeable, friendly, fun, flexible and blended in chatting with all of the guests - making us feel as though we had even more friends with us on the day!
They are super adaptive to food allergies and intolerances and everyone knew exactly what they were eating as each delicious canape was served.
Would recommend for any event, we'll definitely be back for more!

Highly recommend @the.wilderness.chef if you ever need an event catered for in NSW Port Stephens, Hunter Region. When looking for a private chef to provide a quality plated three course dinner for our wedding and searching through instagram I could see many people whose weddings I admired had tagged The Wilderness Chef. I searched The Wilderness Chefs Instagram page and started following. The food looked impressive but in real life at our event it exceeded my expectations.

The food was beautiful and good serving sizes. The duck entree an absolute winner! Even the neighbours were envious of the seared duck they could smell and see cooking

I had a request for dessert - bread and butter pudding, yep it was yum!

This company has a mobile professional kitchen and these guys aren’t rookies. They are a well oiled machine. Their outdoor kitchen set up impressive.

The friendly staff delivered the goods and all guests left the night full. Even those that required special requests: They catered for a severe coeliac and a request for one guest who informed us in the upcoming weeks they didn’t eat duck.

For those who are severe coeliacs we can tell you our guest had no negative health repercussions the following day. For people who deal with this condition you’d appreciate hearing this.

I had so many comments on how good the food was. I read somewhere, no one remembers if the serviettes matched the plates they remember the food & vibes at a wedding.

Where can I start with The Wildness Chef…
We picked The Wildness Chef to cater for our rehearsal dinner and the wedding day and we are so glad that we went with Cooper and the team.
The food was absolutely delicious and bursting with flavors.
The Wildness Chef team put lots of effort and attention to details in everything they have served on the table.
Our guests know that Jeremy and I like to go out and eat high quality food often so they were looking forward to seeing what food we will be serving at our wedding, and of course Cooper and the team didn’t disappoint!!
Every single guest said that our wedding dinner was the best wedding food they’ve ever had.
Food was cooked with passion and made with love.
The Windless Chef team were friendly, professional and so kind and supportive during rehearsal dinner and the wedding day.
I’m forever grateful for their hospitality and the amazing food.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND 💖💖😊

More please!! We had the most incredible food made for our small wedding celebration on the weekend by The Wilderness Chef team. Could not fault a single thing. From the beginning of the process everyone involved was easy to communicate with and extremely prompt in responding to any of our questions or concerns. The team were so friendly on the day and dished up some extremely good food, everyone absolutely devoured it. Thank you so so much, I will absolutely be calling upon you if we ever need catering again.

My husband and I had Cooper and the team cater our wedding and there's no way to describe then other than perfect! We chose three canapes, kids meals and a banquet with one protein and three sides, and the food was fabulous. So many of our guests commented on the quality and originality of the dishes served and said it was the best meal they've had at a wedding. The team even put canapes aside for my husband and I whilst we were taking photos and reheated them when we were ready to eat! We cannot recommend the Wilderness Chef highly enough, a big thank you to Cooper and the team for making our day a culinary delight.

Wilderness chef catered our event in November, serving canape & dessert for 18 people. We cannot fault their food and service. Cooper and James were a great team, and interacted well with our guests. We had 2 vegetarians who received the same amount of canapés as everyone else, so they did not miss out on a single thing. Would have them cater again anytime!

We hired The Wilderness Chef for our wedding and the experience was so smooth and easy! We really appreciated how stress free they made the entire process considering all else we had to plan. They had such a good selection of menu items to pick from, we really struggled narrowing it down. Every single thing we ordered ended up tasting just divine. Each flavour was honestly unreal. We had a lot of our guests compliment us on the catering and we are so glad we found them to cater for us. Amy and Cooper were such a delight to converse with and their team who came on the day were very professional and efficient. We would recommend The Wilderness Chef to anyone looking for an easy yet delicious catering service.
