WhiskyLive comes to Adelaide.







WhiskyLive is an international celebration of whisk, bringing all the whiskies of the world together under one roof. WhiskyLive prides itself on bringing together the finest whiskies and great food.

The expo was held in Bonython hall on Friday 11th and Saturday 12th April and the Small Food Caterers provided all the catering services and delivered a fantastic menu designed to enhance the tasting event.

Bonython Hall - Great venue

Bonython Hall is the great hall of the University of Adelaide, located in the university grounds and facing North Terrace, Adelaide. The building is on the Register of the National Estate and the South Australian Heritage Register. It is primarily used for University graduation ceremonies, examinations, expositions and public lectures and meetings likely to draw large audiences. The ambience that this great venue provides is perfect for WhiskyLive.



WhiskyLive - Great whisky

Included in the ticket was more than 100 whiskies to try. The team brought together great exhibitors and and whisky representatives to answer all you questions, plus provide the tools you need such as a whisky glass, a carry bag and a catalogue designed for you to record your personal rating and thoughts for each whisky you try (a great way to remember after all those tastings). There is also the rare & old bar which has a small but impressive collection of whiskies, either rare or old which were available for sale in half-nip samples, as an optional addition.



The Small Food Caterers - Great food


A continual supply of wholesome, hearty and flavorsome food was also included in the ticket. When the WhiskyLive team decided to bring their whisky expo to Adelaide, the Small Food Caterers were the caterers of choice due to our ability to create personalised menus to suit events, our service and overall commitment.

The Small Food Caterer brought together a number of different styles of cocktail foods to create the desired menu, defined by the Whiskylive team. We incorporated some of our customer favourite "Fork & Talks", a selection of delicious cocktail shaslicks that are crusted our own combinations of herbs and spices, and finally a selection of home-made gourmet savoury pastries.

The team at the Small Food Caterer real enjoy these opportunities to create different menus and be involved with great and new events in South Australia. We believe that our commitment to work closely with event coordinators makes events like this a great success.


Well done to all involved


Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia was sole beneficiary of the event’s fundraising efforts. Several thousand dollars was raised.

To all our staff a very big thank you for all you efforts over the weekend to ensure the first event in Adelaide was a big hit.


Singapore Air celebrate 30 years of service in Adelaide





Singapore Airlines celebrated 30 years of flying in and out of Adelaide with a water cannon salute and cocktail party at gates 18, 19 and 20.

The airline’s inaugural service, a Boeing 747, landed in Adelaide on March 31, 1984, not long after the opening of Adelaide Airport’s international terminal.


Gourmet cocktail party for 180 special guests.

The event was also to thank local tourism and travel operators for their support.

All of the quests were treated to a fine selection of gourmet canapes whilst partaking in a few collaborative drinks.



Congratulations Singapore Air

The team at the Small Food Caterers would like to congratulate Singapore air for delivering 30 years of outstanding service to Adelaide.

We were delighted that they choose the Small Food Caterers and celebrated with some of the best cocktail food in Adelaide.

Head of the river dinner





St Peter College held their annual "Head of the River" dinner party on Saturday 15th March 2014. The Small Food Caterers were asked to prepare a beautiful, healthy and tasty meal with a level of service and style that the families at St Peters College expect.


Great Al-a-cart dinning for 150


The team at The Small Food Caterers, helped create a great setting for the families of the rowing teams to get together and enjoy a fantastic meal prior to the big event on Sunday.


A successful weekend for all


The night went well and the feedback was great.

The boys from St Peters College won the competition on Sunday, and we would like to use a bit of poetic license and suggest that a good healthy meal the night before sent them in with all guns blazing

Gourmet meal, in style for 550 guest on the beach.

The team at the Small Food Caterers pulled out all stops for a fantastic night at the Port Willunga beach.

In very difficult circumstances, the team was able to deliver a gourmet, 3 course meal in style.

The event was organised by the Onkaparinga council as part of the "Tour Down Under" festivities.

We would like to thank the Onkaparinga council for their event management and project management that enabled all the providers and contractors to make it what it was.

The guests enjoyed a selection of fine gourmet foods for the region as part of their antipasti platters and had a selection for mains from either, lamb cutlets, chicken roulade or vegetable frittata. All made from local ingredients and producers. The Small Food Caterers would like to thank all the local suppliers for all their efforts.

Friday 13th, unlucky for some, not for Zenith Interiors




The Small Food Caterers have again helped Zenith Interiors, Adelaide, celebrate another year with customers and staff. For the last 3 year we have created custom menus to suit a themed party. This year it was HORROR and it was held at their office on Pultney street.


Goullie treats

We created a number of menu items that tasted great and matched the theme. We also had some favourites to make sure everybody was well catered for. You know how fussy the dead are. 



Our Staff got right into it

Nights like this are always better when more people get in on the act. It was good to see our staff really take part.

A very special thanks to Verity, Jessy and Haydie who work hard at the bar. To Will, Lene, Andy and Cheryl for serving and to Anna, Lou and Maggie who made it all happen in the kitchen.


Everyone had a ball

Zenith put on a great show. A lot of preparation goes into the event and they make sure each event is a night to remember.


We take it as as a great compliment that they have used the Small Food Caterers for the last three years. We look forward to the event and enjoy the opportunity to be creativity.


Thank you Ammie and all the team at Zenith for the privilege.


Here is what Zenith had to say

"You guys are so easy to deal with"

"Great Food"

"Next year the theme is going to be ..."
