At Damm Good Catering, we create unforgettable dining experiences across Melbourne and regional Victoria. From intimate dinners at home to grand weddings and corporate celebrations, our Michelin-trained team brings fine dining precision and heartfelt hospitality to every event.

Whether it’s a milestone celebration, an elegant business lunch or a weekend gathering with friends, we transform your vision into a seamless, stress-free experience.
Chef Thomas Damm, Founder and Head Chef, designs each menu with seasonal Victorian produce, guided by your preferences and event style. Every dish tells a story — thoughtful, modern and crafted to perfection. For those who want to elevate their occasion even further, we also offer curated wine pairings, signature cocktails, full bar service, canapés on arrival and hire of all event essentials.
Owner and Director Thomas Damm is a Michelin-trained chef whose culinary journey spans Europe and Australia. Born and raised in Germany, Thomas initially trained as a mechanic before studying economics and engineering — but his true passion was always food.
He honed his skills in Germany’s Michelin-starred kitchens before moving to Australia in 2010, where he led teams in some of Melbourne’s most respected venues, including The Melbourne Club and Stokehouse. His time at the beloved café Las Chicas introduced him to Australia’s relaxed yet innovative approach to food.
Combining European precision with Australian creativity, Thomas found his calling in private dining — where he could craft refined, memorable meals and connect directly with his guests. Today, Damm Good Catering represents that vision: exquisite food, seamless service and moments shared with the people who matter most.
At Damm Good Catering, sustainability is more than a principle — it’s a daily practice. We believe great food should honour both people and the planet and we’re proud to lead by example in Melbourne’s catering scene.
100% of our food waste is composted, a practice that began as Chef Thomas’ personal initiative and is now integral to our operations.
We use locally sourced produce at its peak freshness, supporting Victorian growers, reducing waste and carbon emissions and keeping creativity alive in every menu.
Our composted soil feeds our herb garden, where we grow a range of fresh herbs, including Australian natives like saltbush and lemon myrtle.
We continually minimise single-use plastics and prioritise recyclable and reusable materials. Our goal is a fully plastic-free, zero-waste kitchen in the near future.
Through these practices, you can feel confident that your food is responsibly sourced, ethically prepared and part of a wider effort to give back to the planet that nourishes us all.
