About Classic Catering

Melbourne’s Trusted Premium Catering Services Team

At Classic Catering, we believe food should do more than feed a room. It should elevate the moment, support the occasion, and make hosting feel effortless. That’s why we bring premium catering Melbourne clients trust for quality, consistency, and a polished guest experience.

Whether it’s a corporate luncheon in the CBD, a milestone birthday, a private celebration, or a memorial service, our approach is simple: great food, reliable service, and clear communication from first enquiry to final clean-up.

Our story

From Four Leaves Cafe to Melbourne Catering

Classic Catering grew from the same hospitality values that shaped Four Leaves Cafe: fresh seasonal produce, detailed presentation, and care in every detail. Over time, that focus evolved into a dedicated catering service built for Melbourne’s corporate and event market.

Today, Classic Catering is known for premium menus, dependable delivery, and full-service execution across Melbourne. We work with businesses, venues, families, and event organisers who need catering that feels considered and professional.

Executive chef

Chef Rodney Van Oirschot

Rodney Van Oirschot leads Classic Catering with more than 30 years of culinary experience. His background includes a classical French apprenticeship and time spent in New York’s high-pressure dining scene, which shaped the fine-dining standard behind our menus today.

That international experience now informs every corporate breakfast, lunch package, grazing table, and event menu we deliver. The result is catering that feels refined, practical, and consistently high quality.
