Staff lunches looking a little bit like this lately 👀🥐

Fresh croissant sandwiches stacked with all the good stuff + a little sweet treat on the side… because balance, right? 😍

Perfect for keeping the team happy, fed, and ready to go 💪

I love putting these together for clients, easy, delicious, and no one’s stuck eating a boring sandwich at their desk 🙌

Keeping busy with these recent office orders

Fresh fruit box, plenty of individual lunch boxes, and morning tea boxes heading out the door lately 🥐🍓🧁

The lighting is a little different in these photos thanks to the different times of day they were taken, but everything was just as fresh and delicious as always ☀️

Hope everyone has been safe and warm over the weekend 🤍

A little look at what went out last week 👀✨

Mix of platters heading to different tables from fresh stacked sandwiches 🥪 to golden savouries 🥐 and all the sweet extras 🍰

I love putting together spreads like this… simple, generous, and made to be shared (or not, no judgement 😏)

Which box are you reaching for first?

A little throwback to some recent catering boxes while I’ve been a bit quiet on here… 👀

Behind the scenes I’ve been very busy working on the relaunch of the business, with lots of admin updates, planning and changes happening in the background. Running a small business solo means there’s always plenty going on that you don’t see, but it’s all part of building something even better.

Here’s a look at some recent orders that went out; filled with fresh croissants, mini quiches, pastries, sweet slices, fruit cups and savoury bites. Perfect for meetings, gatherings and special occasions. 🥐🍓

✨ IT’S TIME TO SHARE ✨

In my last post I mentioned that something has been happening behind the scenes… and now I can finally say it properly.

We’ve moved into a new house.
I’ve set up a brand new kitchen space.
And it felt like the perfect moment for a fresh new name to match this next stage.

Welcome to…

🌿 Thyme & Place Catering 🌿

This name means so much to me. It’s about creating beautiful food for every moment, the right food, at the right time, for the right place. From corporate lunches to special celebrations, everything is still handmade with care, flavour and that homely touch at the heart of what I do.

This isn’t just a name change. It’s growth. It’s intention. It’s stepping confidently into what this business is becoming.

Same passion. Elevated vision.

And I’m so excited for what’s ahead for Thyme & Place Catering ♥️

The year has eased in nicely… and so has the catering 👩‍🍳✨

The past few weeks have been filled with some lovely orders going out fresh sandwiches, wraps, sausage rolls, mini quiches, sweet treats and colourful fruit platters.

Not manic. Not madness. Just good, steady kitchen days doing what I love. Prep lists ticked off, ovens on, boxes packed neatly and ready to go.

There’s something really satisfying about seeing it all come together, simple, fresh food made properly and sent out to be enjoyed.

And while things have been ticking along in the kitchen… there’s also been a little shift happening behind the scenes.

A fresh chapter is on the way 💚

✨ Happy New Year! ✨
It feels so good to be back in action and cooking again in my newly renovated kitchen. I’m absolutely loving the space and the fresh start it brings.

I’m still very much in school holiday mode, juggling mum life and kids at home, so I’m taking on just a few orders at a time while we ease back into the year. Thank you so much for your patience and continued support, it truly means the world 🤍

Last week kicked things off with an exciting one, catering for the Toyota Formula Oceania Trophy Series, and I couldn’t be more grateful to start the year with such an amazing event.

Here’s to a year of good food, big goals, and finding the balance in between
So excited for what’s ahead!

🎄✨ Merry Christmas & Happy New Year ✨🎄

As the year comes to an end, I just want to say a huge thank you to every single client who has supported my business this year.

It’s been an absolute whirlwind full of learning, creating, and doing what I love and I truly couldn’t have done it without your trust, orders, and kind words.

I’m so grateful for each and every one of you and can’t wait to see what the New Year brings.

Wishing you all a beautiful Christmas filled with love, laughter, and good food, and a Happy New Year ahead 🥂✨

🌿 A Little Update From My Kitchen to Yours 🌿

Hi lovely people! Just wanted to share a quick life + business update. We’ve recently moved into a new home, and my cooking space is currently getting a little facelift. 🛠️🍞
With the kitchen in renovation mode, things will be running a bit slower than usual while I get everything set up just right.

Thank you all for your patience, kindness, and continued support, it truly means the world to this little family business. 💛
I’m aiming to be back creating rustic bakes, grazing boxes, and all the good things around the 12th.

Can’t wait to fire up the oven again and bring more seasonal, homemade goodness your way!

It’s been a busy one! 💚
I’ve had absolutely no time to get these photos out, but here’s a little glimpse of the beautiful catering orders that have gone out over the past week.

I even missed out on getting photos of a few orders, that’s how full on it’s been! 😅

From fresh bakes to grazing goodness and all the handmade touches in between
Thank you for keeping me busy! Your support means everything to this little kitchen of mine.

More to come… but for now, back to the oven I go! 👩‍🍳✨

What a weekend! 🥵✨

No photos this time, I barely had a second to breathe, let alone grab the camera! It was the busiest weekend I’ve ever had… over 400 meals each day, all made by me, right here in the kitchen.

It was one of those wild, wonderful weekends where the oven never stopped, the benches disappeared under trays, and the house smelled like butter, herbs, and good food from morning till midnight.

I might be absolutely knackered, but my heart is full. ❤️
So grateful for everyone who ordered, supported, and trusted me to feed their events.

It’s weekends like these that remind me why I started homemade food, made with love, shared with so many.
