The Wilderness Chef

The Wilderness Chef is much more than your average catering company, specialise in all forms of catering & dining whilst travelling to venues & locations without kitchen facilities….or any facilities for that matter!!!

Any occasion…Any location…Any number of guests…

Hi, I’m Cooper and I am the Creator, Owner and Executive Chef of The Wilderness Chef. We are a catering company with so many differences. Our team specialises in creating restaurant quality dining and catering experiences in unimaginable locations. Whether you plan to elope to New Zealand with no guests or host a large scale wedding in one of Australia’s magical locations, we do it all.

We believe everyone should be able to enjoy the food they love so our menus can be custom designed to your taste, event, dietary requirements and budget, featuring stylish, sustainable and seasonal produce. Choose from wilderness feasts, canapés packages, grazing tables, banquets or alternate drop dining.

After working in the hospitality industry for 10 years and running two of Newcastle’s busiest cafe/restaurants I decided to develop a company that would allow me to combine my passion for cooking and all things food related with my love of adventure, travel and the outdoors.

Whether it be a corporate business function or a camping trip with a few mates, The Wilderness Chef team can cater your wedding, workshop, feast, elopement, engagement, private dining experience or weekend away for any number of guests.

We have previously catered in locations as epic as The Blue Mountains, on the snow covered peaks of Mt Hotham, remote Western Australia, Port Douglas, Tasmania and Queenstown (NZ)

We can’t wait to explore more places with you!!
