My team and I specialise in cooking for one-off events that need private dining services. This means that I have cooked for a wide variety of events. Clients have hired our services for family gatherings and birthday dos. We’ve also provided food for celebrations like small weddings and engagement parties, as well as corporate events like networking dinners. Each event is unique, and so is the client’s requirements, which keeps us on our toes. We can offer menus with multiple dishes or just one course, sit down dinners or canapé options. Whatever the client, we can do it.
I’m enthusiastic about sourcing our ingredients from organic and local suppliers as much as possible. You can really taste the quality difference in the end result. The only exception to this will be if a client requests more unusual ingredients. For example, if an ingredient needs sourcing from abroad, such as a particular type of wine, cheese or even spice. In which case, wherever possible we go to organic suppliers who are passionate about the quality of their product.
Our food tells a story, often in ways that are hard to explain. For every event, we want to make the food as personalised and unique as possible. So we work closely with each client to find out about the event, the guests, their requirements and if they have any personal preferences. It might be that they want a certain type of cuisine or a particular dish, or to incorporate a certain theme into the menu. Sometimes our clients want to reflect personal details in the menu, such as a location where a couple met or the host’s favourite film. This makes every event different. We create a new menu for each, taking inspiration from the client, previous events and our own experience.

After a little back and forth we test cooked 3 great chefs, then hired our new private chef who’s just the best addition to our family. He’s been with us 3 months now, travelled with us from eat to west coasts and even teaches our daughter how to cook sometimes.

I booked Knotty Pine Catering Services for our daughter’s 15th birthday celebration. We have a dinner party with 26 people, and it was an intimate, elegant event. I had several quotes come through for booking, and I am SO glad I went with KPC! One of the biggest reasons why I booked was their speedy communication. I had questions in regards to the proposed menu, and they responded almost immediately. My questions were always answered and my requests were taken into consideration (this was all even BEFORE I booked!). KPC spent the time listening to my vision, and they delivered! Although it was an elegant event, we wanted to serve my daughter’s favorite meal, chicken and alfredo pasta. The food was amazing!! It was definitely an elevated, more formal menu that still appeased my daughter’s request. From the appetizers, to the main course, to dessert, our guests were SO impressed with how flavorful and appetizing everything was! We had a sit-down dinner, and KPC’s waitstaff was wonderful! They were on top of passing around appetizers, our meals, and dessert. They were on top of making sure that our beverages were served in a consistent manner, and continued to check up on myself and our guests. Throughout our planning, I communicated with Lydia. She was such a pleasure to work with! She listened to my requests, delivered, and even gave great suggestions! A lot of our dinner party décor was DIYs, and Lydia was so sweet, she would communicate with me to let me know when certain stores had sales

Phil and his team are absolutely dynamite! I was not an easy client to deal with because I wanted to make my event perfect. Mission accomplished! Chef worked with me to create an outstanding menu. They were extremely attentive to all of our needs and requests. His staff was friendly, gracious and helpful. They went out of their way to go over and above! The food was excellent! The presentation was exquisite! The attention to detail was incredible! We will definitely utilize Philaneys in the future and recommend to all of our friends. My guests had nothing but positive feedback on the entire catering experience. Extraordinary!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I look forward to our next encounter together.
