HostCo delivers high-quality sit-down dinner catering services across Sydney. From intimate gatherings to large formal dinners, we provide restaurant-standard menus with professional event execution.
Set within the heritage-listed grounds of the University of Sydney, our venues include spaces like the Refectory, known for its high ceilings and mural wall. If you're hosting offsite, we also bring full-service Sydney catering to venues across the city.
Deliver a seamless dining experience
We handle every element of the sit-down dinner catering service: prepping in the kitchen, plating with precision and delivering each course on time. Our professional team briefs the floor staff, manages the flow and keeps the pace steady from entrée to dessert.
Choose from three-course dinners, alternate drop or shared feasting menus. We build every dish around seasonal ingredients, with portions and presentations tailored to your event. Our team will confirm dietary requirements early and integrate them directly into the run sheet to avoid disruptions.
For events with speeches, presentations or tight transitions, we align service to your schedule and keep everything moving as planned.
