CATERING
Just a stone’s throw from some of Melbourne’s most famous culinary landmarks, CENTREPIECE provides a platform to share the best food and beverages Victoria has to offer.
With Victorian-first fresh ingredients and dishes inspired by Melbourne’s multicultural melting pot of flavours, the CENTREPIECE menu offers an authentic taste of Victoria.
From multi-course meals to evening cocktails on the terrace, there are countless opportunities to add some foodie culture to your event.
Our paddock-to-plate philosophy is as much about sourcing the best and freshest ingredients as it is about supporting local growers and producers. An on-site kitchen garden, bakery and butchery allow us to serve up the freshest local produce, with an equally appealing beverage menu.
You’ll find locally-brewed craft beer, acclaimed Victorian wine and spirits and, of course, quintessentially-Melbourne espresso coffee.
