Grant King is one of Australia's most awarded chefs. He trained in Michelin-starred kitchens in the UK, led The Pier to three chef hats and Australia's No.1 restaurant, and built Gastro Park to two hats and Gault and Millau Chef of the Year. He now creates catering, private chef experiences and event production in Sydney and worldwide.

What makes Grant King different from other caterers?

Most caterers are led by chefs who worked in respected kitchens. Grant King personally earned the recognition: three chef hats, a place on the San Pellegrino World's Top 100, and Chef of the Year. When you book Grant, the chef designing and cooking your event is the one who earned the accreditations, not a team trained under someone else's name.

Chef hats are Australia's most prestigious restaurant rating, awarded by the Good Food Guide, and are the Australian equivalent of Michelin stars. Three hats is the highest rating in the country, held by fewer than a dozen restaurants in any given year. Grant King earned three hats leading The Pier, which was also named Australia's No.1 restaurant and entered the San Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants.

What types of events does Grant King cater?

Weddings, corporate events and product launches, cocktail parties, private dining and private chef experiences, charter and superyacht events, milestone celebrations, and remote or international locations. Every event is designed individually.

Does Grant King design menus personally?

Yes. Grant does not own a fixed menu. He personally designs every menu from scratch around you, the occasion and the season. When you book Grant King, the chef creating your food is the one who earned three chef hats, not a team working from a template.

Does Grant King cook at destination and luxury weddings?

Yes. Grant works with companies as an on-call executive chef for client entertainment, board dinners and events, on an ongoing retainer basis, and advises hospitality businesses on menus, concepts and F&B strategy. Corporate and boardroom catering in Sydney is delivered through Smile Catering.

Does Grant King work with companies on retainer?

Yes. Grant caters executive boardroom lunches, client dinners, product launches and corporate celebrations, bringing genuine three-hat fine dining to corporate catering rather than standard function food.

Can Grant King cook for a private yacht or superyacht?

Yes. Grant provides private chef services aboard yachts and superyachts, in Sydney Harbour and on charters worldwide. He has cooked a nine-course tasting menu for fifteen guests in a yacht kitchenette, so limited galley space is never the obstacle.

Do you cook for touring artists and public figures?

Yes. Grant provides discreet private chef services for international touring artists, film and television talent and their teams, with complete confidentiality, precise dietary management and seamless integration with production and security. Client privacy is absolute.

Does Grant King travel internationally?

Yes. Grant cooks at private residences, villas, estates, remote properties and yachts worldwide, including New Zealand and the Pacific, Southeast Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the Americas. Sydney is closer to Asia's key cities than most people realise.

Can Grant cook fine dining in a location without a kitchen?

Yes. Grant has cooked multi-course menus in yacht kitchenettes, on remote properties and in locations with no permanent kitchen. If a location has a kitchen he will make it work, and if it does not, he will build one. Technique and planning, not equipment, are what matter.

Premium Award Winning Catering by Grant King

Corporate Events, Product Launches, Celebrations, Weddings.

The Chef Cooking At Your Event Earned Three Hats Himself.

Grant King earned the recognitions. He led The Pier to three hats and Australia's No.1 restaurant, then built Gastro Park from nothing to two hats and Chef of the Year. When Grant caters your event, the food is designed and cooked by the person the industry named one of the best in the country.

No Recycled Or Repeated Menus

Most caterers work from one wedding menu. The salmon, the chicken, the beef, pick two. Every couple gets a version of the same night. Grant doesn't own a template. He designs each menu from scratch around your event, your taste, your guests and the season, so what you serve has never been served before and never will be again. Or, if you'd rather start from a loved idea and refine it together, that works too.

Produce Most Caterers Cannot Get

Thirty-five years of relationships open doors most kitchens never see. Grant hand-selects the finest produce, works with suppliers he has trusted for decades, forages seasonal wild foods, and can source almost anything Australia and New Zealand have to offer. The food starts with the ingredient, and the ingredient is always the best available.

A World Of Flavour At Your Table

Thirty-five years cooking and travelling the globe in search of authentic food means Grant draws on cuisines from across the world and brings them together with precision and restraint. The result is food that surprises without trying too hard, and tastes like it was made by someone who has genuinely cooked everywhere.
