February is the month when Sydney’s corporates get back to work.
The summer days of January seem a distant memory when there is work to be done.
To kickstart February many of our clients have ramped up their catering.
Many have started to schedule their boardroom lunches for the year. This is an ideal time to catch up with key clients or partners.
For more information on our Boardroom Lunch menus, visit our boardroom page.
Many Sydneysiders will know of the traditional Carols in the Domain. It is Sydney’s largest free Christmas concert, and screens live across Australia on The Seven Network. In 2016 the theme will be of ‘Christmas Traditions’.
Carols by Candlelight are a time-honoured tradition for families across Australia who sing-along to Australia’s best-loved performers and favourite Christmas songs. Now, in its 34th year, the iconic Christmas celebration will start a new tradition – for the first time ever the show will take place on a Sunday!
As it is a free concert, it would not happen without the generous support of the sponsors. This year’s major sponsor is Woolworths.
Woolworths will be showcasing Bertocchi Ham at the event, and have asked Amory Catering to facilitate the catering activation. Woolworths and Bertocchi will be offering sample taste tests of their signature Double Smoked Ham.
Oh, and don’t forget to visit Woolies Gingerbread House.
Today the Caltex Socceroos take on Japan in a World Cup Qualifier at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne.
Both teams have designs on an automatic spot at the World Cup in Russia in 2018.
But what does Football in Melbourne have to do with Catering in Sydney?
Well, Caltex is a longstanding client of Amory Catering. We have been providing Boardroom Catering to the Caltex Board of Directors the past six years. We like to think that after enjoying a delicious boardroom lunch prepared by our chefs, the board decided to sponsor the Socceroos in a four-year deal.
The “Fox Sporting Nation” campaign is now in full swing.
We helped launch the campaign in February with a star studded event in Sydney.
Amory was the catering partner for the event held in Sydney’s newest CBD catering event space, The Cuttaway at Barangaroo.
The event comprised of the who’s who of this nation’s sporting media.
Sports represented included NRL, AFL, Rugby Union, Athletics, V8 Supercars, Netball and Surfing.
It may be called the “Race that stops the Nation”, but it does not stop the caterers.
We are in full swing today.
The buzz in the kitchen is very similar to the buzz at the track on the big days.

Our Ship Launch catering went well last week.
There were a few nervous moments when our kit was being hauled up using the cargo net.
This week we are catering for the launch of a new container ship servicing Sydney Ports.
After the naming ceremony and champagne over the bow, dignitaries will be joining the captain and crew for canapes and drinks on the Bridge.
