Why Choose Private Catering?

An increasing number of diners are seeking distinctive, exclusive culinary and service experiences, with a rising trend toward hosting private events and indulging in the finest cuisine.

 

Here at Damm Good, we aim to boost the hospitality experience for your private event. We take pride in our attention to detail that will make every private catering experience THE best. What makes the experience even better (whether for foodies or not) is the opportunity to meet the private chef personally. Indeed, this makes the whole dining experience even more amazing.

 

We know how the small details and impeccable service can make a memorable experience, and that is exactly what you will get when you let us take care of your private events. Not only will you get the most delicious food but your private function will be exceptional.

 

Another reason to choose private catering for your next party is for the immersive experience. Whether you and your guests sit at the chef’s table whilst watching a theatrical performance or a simple interaction with the team, it’s going to be a one-of-a-kind experience.

 

All senses are stimulated with any of our catering options from the sounds of the chef preparing your food, the smells emanating from your kitchen to the bursts of flavours that explode in your mouth.

Is Private Catering Better Than Restaurant Dining?

With the right private event team by your side, you can expect amazing food with a lot of menu options to choose from along with fantastic service.

NO DISRUPTIONS

One of the things that make private events better than restaurant dining is you don’t get disruptions from other customers. What you get is your guest’s attention, especially if it’s a special event that requires speeches and intimate moments.

GET OUR FULL ATTENTION

Dining experiences should be satisfying and relaxing. However, these are not always guaranteed in a restaurant, especially during peak hours. It’s also unavoidable for servers to be less attentive, or worse, in a rush to ensure everybody is getting what they need.

With private catering, you get the exclusive attention from the best chefs and the waiters. You don’t need to wait for a server to notice you rather, they will only be focused on you and your guests, ensuring that you are served well throughout the event.

NO NEED TO SET ANYTHING UP

Booking private catering for your next party means you don’t need to set anything up. Your private event team will take care of everything for you. All you need to do is let them know your theme and how you want the event to be—from seating arrangements, food preparation, sound system, and more. The private event staff will be more than happy to accommodate your needs, as well as extra requests, to ensure you get the best private dining experience. You don’t need to break a sweat—you can socialise and give your whole, undivided attention to your guests.

NO NEED TO CLEAN UP

One of the most unpleasant things when you host an event is the cleaning up afterwards. It can be such a huge dampener on the evening when you know you can’t rest right after the event. When you book a private catering, you don’t need to worry about the after-party clean up. At the end of the event, you’re off to bed happily wined and dined.

Plan Your Courses

How many courses do you want to serve at your next event? What type of dishes do you want to include? For example, the usual private functions have three courses—an appetiser, a main course and a dessert. You can add additional courses for a more elaborate menu, or you can keep it as simple as you want. Perhaps you want canapes added to greet your guests on arrival? Whatever your mind and appetite can conjure up, rest assured Damm Good are able to deliver it.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

You can choose as little as 1 course and as many as 12 courses, it depends on how much time you have and how elegant you like to have the dining experience. A casual dinner with a 3 course private dining experience may suit your needs best. and the 5 course fine dining experience is the most popular, especially for the seasoned diners.

No, this is always included since most people wouldn’t have matching crockery and cutlery for multiple courses and this will take the dining experience to the next level.

We recommend the menu to have the best fit by experience but the menu gives you choices since you know your guests better than we do. Also all dietary requirements will be catered for separately.

A 3 course is about 2.5 hours, the 5 course is about 3 hours… The speed we go through the menu depends on the speed of eating since that can vary and we do not rush a good story at the dining table.

If you do not have a domestic kitchen for us to use we do have mobile kitchens for hire available.

A romantic getaway with only 2 is no problem for us. But you are free to invite as many or as little guests as you like, but don’t forget, the more the merrier. 

You can choose as many or as little as you like but 10 canapes are about a full meal. But if you know your guests are big eaters, we recommend 12 pieces for the event.

You are free to choose any, there are no restrictions. if you like to have the menu balanced and something for everyone then we recommend about 30-40% cold, 50-60% hot and 10-20% sweet canapes.
