​WHO WE ARE

G'day!

Welcome to the world of Scout & Hunter: event catering with a difference.

Hailing from Brisbane, Australia, we combine a deep Aussie passion for flame-cooking with decades of worldly culinary experience.

We love the theatre of live cooking—the crackling flames, the aromatic smoke drifting through the open air, the satisfying click of the tongs as we work our magic. There's something special about outdoor cooking that brings people together, and we're here to create that experience at your event.

We specialise in bespoke culinary ideas that are always crowd-pleasing, effortlessly entertaining, and refreshingly detailed.

​

We love hosting events. That is what we do.

Dietary Requirements & Preferences

At Scout & Hunter, we believe everyone deserves to enjoy incredible food at your celebration. We cater for all dietary requirements, preferences, intolerances, and allergens with the same care and creativity we bring to every dish.

Whether your guests are vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, or have specific religious or cultural dietary needs, we've got you covered. We work closely with you to understand every guest's requirements and create dishes that are just as delicious and beautifully presented as our signature menus.

Every dish is clearly labelled, and we maintain detailed dietary matrices to ensure safe, worry-free service for you and your guests. No substitutions, no compromises—just great food that everyone can enjoy together.

Our passion for food shines through

Local Provenance

​

We're incredibly fortunate to be on the doorstep of the New Forest, where some of the finest produce in the country is grown, reared, and crafted. From award-winning cheeses to exceptional meats from New Forest Pastures butchers, we have access to the very best ingredients right on our doorstep.

90% of our products are locally sourced, and we're proud to have been awarded the New Forest Marque in recognition of our commitment to championing local producers. Everything we serve is fresh, handmade, and always locally sourced—because we believe great food starts with great ingredients, and there's nowhere better to find them than right here in our backyard.

​

Slow & Low smoking and flame-roasted cooking are at the heart of what we do. We cook over open flames using oak and apple wood alongside premium lumpwood charcoal, creating a beautifully balanced smoky flavour that elevates both vegetables and meats to something truly special.

Grills & Thrills is where the real excitement happens—live-fire BBQ cooking over glowing coals. From sizzling steaks and juicy burgers to charred vegetables and smoky seafood, we bring the energy and spectacle of the grill straight to your event. It's fast, flavourful, and full of theatre, with every dish cooked to order in front of your guests.

Our sides, salads, and trimmings are every bit as impressive as our mains. Locally sourced, lovingly prepared, and thoroughly contemporary, every dish is finished to an exquisite standard that never fails to wow your guests.
