Highly Commended For Coastal Food Design

Originating from a passion to work for herself, chef by trade Tara Sobott, established Coastal Food Design, a specialist catering company primarily operated through her food van.

Since setting up shop in 2020, the business has evolved to encompass the food van and event catering, including corporate dinners, parties, weddings, and even the superyachts.

And now in 2023, Tara and the business has been recognised in the Australian Wedding Industry Awards, receiving Highly Commended in the Wedding Caterer category.

“It feels great to be recognised,” said Tara.

“We are a hardworking team who always strives for our best, and it’s great to receive this award.”

Tara believes that what sets Coastal Food Design apart from other caterers is their dedication to their client.

“We love having a great end result, with happy clients and happy guests,” she said.

“They say food brings people together, and we love being a part of that, especially for a fantastic and exciting event such as a wedding.”

Approximately 60 per cent of Coastal Food Designs event catering consists of weddings and the business has flourished, being flexible and open to follow their client’s dream and direction for their special day.

They have found that trends have fluctuated, and wedding parties are favouring simpler menus, featuring canapes, and grazing boards, however a more formal sit-down menu is always a great move in Coastal Food Design’s books.
