Our name says everything about who we are, and what we do.
Innovations Catering is not just a title. It’s our food philosophy in two words. It’s our guarantee to you that we’re not your average, run-of-the mill catering company. When it needs to be exceptional, when you need to impress, when it needs to run seamlessly and when you need the X-factor with every mouthful, our name is the only one to remember.
Creating unique and quality catering solutions actually begins by paying attention to the basics. Sourcing the freshest local produce. Supporting West Australian suppliers. Promoting healthy food choices. Once we’ve done that, the magic happens! We apply our experience, expertise and creativity to make every event a standout one.
It starts at the top. Executive Chef and Company Director, Bob Rawlins, leads the dedicated and skilled Innovations Catering team. Throughout his 40+ year career, Bob has worked in prestigious venues around the world. The Ritz in London. Quay in Sydney. Alinea in Chicago. He also created outstanding food in settings as diverse as Inverlochy Castle in Scotland, on board the QE2, and at the Sheraton Mirage Resort in Port Douglas before acquiring Innovations Catering in 2004.
Our quality was recognised by The Catering Institute of Australia when we were runner-up for the External Venue Caterer Gold Plate Award. The Gold Plate Awards provides professional recognition for quality and enables the Catering Institute of Australia to encourage and reward excellence. An independent panel of unidentified judges assessed each function with 150 points over ten categories. While we don’t know the judges, we do know that they liked what we did. We’re sure you will too. Simply review our catering testimonials which prove we’re great at what we do again and again.
We like to think we’re just as good for our community as we are for our clients. Innovations Catering is a philanthropic company. We’ve supported many charitable groups and events since 2005, including the Long Table Lunch for Breast Cancer Care since 2010, Make a Wish Foundation, Ernst and Young’s Charity Golf Day and the Random Acts of Kindness television program.
Whether we do it for business, for pleasure, or for charity, we do it with flair, originality and ideas that are as fresh as our ingredients. To do otherwise would go against everything we, and our name, stands for.

Had a fantastic experience with Innovations Catering. They were very accommodating with
great customer service. The food was fantastic, and everyone loved it!
Innovations Catering never fails to deliver what they promise
We dealt exclusively with Jeanette Counsel from our very first meeting. She was always
available, particularly close to our event for help and advice. I was very surprised and
delighted she came to our event to oversee everything. The service from her staff was
exceptional.
Staff were lovely, we had lots of compliments on the staff at our event. We were extremely
happy dealing with Innovations Catering and the event went so smoothly, wouldn’t hesitate
to book again with them.
Amazing service and delicious food!
Roger was amazing! Remembered everyone’s drinks & provided great service. Jeanette was
great, so helpful and easy to organise with and she did a great job managing our wedding
catering. Would 100% recommend for anyone needing catering services. They were
amazing at their knowledge and options for multiple allergens. The food was presented well
and tasted great. Special mention to Roger who was so amazing at remembering all the
guests drink preferences and never needed any prompting. Everyone raved about how
great the service was especially Roger. Jeanette was our event manager who was so
friendly & organised everything so well that I had no stress on my wedding day.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for the absolutely sensational food provided for the Minister’s Launch event today at Advocare. As always Innovations Catering provides a professional and reliable service and supplies the freshest, yummiest and most interesting food. I received many compliments and was very happy to recommend Innovations without hesitation
Can I also THANK everyone at Innovations Catering for making our night a great success. All along the way, everyone I dealt with was professional and very helpful. On the night of the party, the food was delivered promptly at exactly the time promised. Alex and Jason also arrived promptly at the time promised and were absolutely wonderful people to deal with. Many of our guests commented on the fantastic way Alex and Jason behaved and interacted. As for the food, it was sensational. Again, many of our guests went out of their way to comment on the delicious and well presented food you provided. I will certainly be recommending your catering company to anyone and everyone! And …. all at a very reasonable price in the knowledge that, we as hosts, could relax and enjoy our own party.
From the start of our contact to the end of the function, I must say I am extremely impressed. The first initial contact with you to see if you had availability to cater at my function, to your expertise in suggesting a menu and then changing to suit from my feedback. That process was such a breeze and I was very happy with what you had recommended/selected on my behalf… What a night, everyone had a fantastic time, they all raved about the food and service.
Jeanette was delightful and so professional. Innovations Catering have never let us down whether for small intimate functions or events for larger groups. Their staff are very well trained and very customer-service focussed.
I was searching for a catering company for my company’s awards dinner. I went online and queried with a few other companies via internet searches. Hadn’t had any replies. A hire company I used recommended Innovations Catering. I rang and in less than 30mins I had a quote subject to any other considerations I may have. The menus provided were really different and dare I say ‘innovative’ from the first call, through to function set up and food provided. I can state how impressed I was with service, quality of food (my staff raved about the food, both quality & quantity) and very competitively priced I would highly recommend Innovations Catering!! I will most definitely use again!! You will not be disappointed!!
Jeanette is super helpful and made organising a large function such a breeze. The selection is great quality and excellent value for money. I would highly recommend Innovations.
The grazing table we organised through Innovations Catering for a recent Sundowner event was a hit! Beautifully displayed, fresh and plenty of food!
Michelle was so professional. Thank you for the amazing service!
We were extremely happy with Innovations Catering. All the staff were very professional. The food was amazing. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who is having a function.
The ease which my husband’s Wake was catered for was amazing. Quick Response, polite staff on the day, the event was very organised. I had no input what so ever, it all just happened.
What a great company & staff to deal with. Customer service at its best – the staff that was here on the night were extremely helpful & supportive. Excellent interaction with all of our guests on the night.
Innovations Catering have catered the JSR Valedictory dinner for the last 2 years. We have been very impressed with the food and service provided, particularly in light of the difficulties present due to the location of the dinner at our school Gymnasium. Catering a 3 course, sit down dinner for 500 people, without a kitchen, should be an impossible task, but Innovations make it look easy. The menu selections are excellent and they have been extremely accommodating in providing selections due to the dietary requirements of some diners. We had many parents contact the school and Dinner Committee with positive feedback about the food and service. We will be using Innovations Catering again this year and hopefully in the future years too.
Innovations is a great company to use for all occasions – meetings and functions. Always amenable to fit with requirements.
With a few days’ notice, the team at Innovations Catering were able to accommodate my request. It was only a small order, so I asked them to select the food, as I really didn’t mind what was served. The platter was much better than expected. The portions were a decent size, very well presented, not to mention delicious! I’ll recommend Innovations for catering.
We get Wednesday night dinners every week and everyone raves about the variety of choices and how fresh it tastes. Everyone has been raving about the quality of meals from Innovations Catering. 5 stars!
I would just like to say a big THANK YOU for the prompt delivery and delicious food you provided for our staff sundowner recently. Everyone who attended commented on how delicious it was and that it was the best food we’d provided in a long time. I will definitely recommend your catering services to others and I look forward to working with you again.
The team at Innovations catering made the whole process easy. The wait staff was brilliant and great with the kids. They were very professional and had a wonderful sense of humour. I will highly recommend Innovations catering to anyone that plans on entertaining.
Fantastic service, listened to our needs and delivered beyond our expectations. Extremely flexibly with menus and food descriptions and portion sizes were spot on. Staff were very engaging and professional to all function attendees. Professional service from quote stage to execution.
I would highly recommend Innovations. Easy to order, no problems with changing things at last minute, everyone loves the food. Staff are excellent.
From the moment we visited your office to arrange our event to the completion of Jenny’s birthday party catering, the service from of all your staff was excellent. Our guests were extremely impressed.

We’ve had only positive feedback from our clients and staff, some of whom have requested your contact details for their own function requirements. The food was delicious and the service staff were very attentive, helpful and efficient.
It was reassuring and refreshing to find a local supplier who had delicious food ideas as opposed to others online that were selling what one can buy in a supermarket. Value was also much better.

I can’t thank them enough and also to Jeanette Counsel for coordinating and assisting with the booking for the evening.
Great service, great staff, wonderful food – what else can you ask for?
Hi Michelle, Fantastic feedback from everyone who attended. I had many requests for details on who the catering company was so that they could use you as well. The food was superb and portions perfectly sized, the supplied furniture was very low fuss and spot on, the supplied cutlery, crockery and glassware were perfect, the estimated drink supplies were spot on, and service was impeccable – both friendly and professional. I will certainly be recommending your organisation to anyone who asks and would definitely be using you again.
Innovations Catering are a professional and friendly team that deliver every time. Our clients love their catering selections which make their Events extra special. I would highly recommend Innovations to any of our new clients.
Innovations handle our catering needs in a professional and efficient manner. The menus are excellent and our clients have nothing but good things to say about the Events that Innovations cater for commenting on their “yummy” menus and great service. They are also a delight to deal with.

This is the third time we have used Innovations Catering for a private function catering and have been delighted each time with the quality of food, staff and with the whole booking and planning experience. All our guests praised the food highly. We recommend them!
Michelle Park was my event organiser for my wedding. Her open communication made our reception seamless. I cannot sing more higher praises for the chef and the food as it was amazing. The bar and wait staff were equally as fabulous. I will happily recommend Innovations Catering to anyone!
Excellent evening only possible due to the amazing team at Innovations Catering – highly recommended.
I’d like to share a really good experience with Innovations Catering. We asked them quite last minute for a very important formal function and they did a fantastic job. The menu requirements were quite difficult: vegetarian, vegan, several different sorts of allergies etc, but they managed to sail through all that with beautiful canapés, a brilliant consomme, beautiful main and delicious desert. Staff was very flexible, professional and friendly, and the whole process was managed smoothly.
Thanks Jeanette and team. Everything was excellent and well presented and tasted fantastic.
We have always found Innovations Catering to be extremely easy to deal with, great food at competitive prices. We have used Innovations in the past for both business and personal celebrations. When it came time to find a caterer for our son’s recent wedding we didn’t hesitate to contact Michelle and the team. We have always found them to be extremely easy to deal with and nothing seems too much trouble for them. The food is amazing, and the staff very professional. We had nothing but compliments. We highly recommend innovations for a small cocktail party up to 140 wedding guests…outstanding!
I highly recommend Innovations Catering. Both food and service are outstanding.
