Award-winning food and wine

We understand how important food is for your event. That’s why we’ve taken the time to ensure our food is the absolute best. We work with you to tailor a menu specific to your event, assembled in our kitchen from locally-sourced food and wine.

  • keep it fresh

    The fresher, the better

    You know what makes the world’s best restaurants the best? It’s simple – they prepare their dishes in their own kitchen from scratch. We’ve taken this principle to heart. Everything from our pastries to our marinades are prepared by our chefs in our kitchen.

    Our philosophy – fresh and local

    Our food and wine philosophy is simple. We think local and support Victorian producers and suppliers that are sustainable. This means we reduce the emissions associated with transport while supporting producers who share our vision for a greener world.

    From Farm to Fork

    Visiting farmers, producers and winemakers across Victoria our chefs will bring you stories from the farm to the fork: their recipes, a sneak peek at dishes prepared in MCEC’s kitchens and an introduction to local Victorian producers, farmers and winemakers. It will all be served in our food and wine blog From Farm to Fork in the freshest, simplest and most sustainable way.

    Wine selection is a sought-after skill in the catering industry. And we’ve put a lot of work into being the best. Whether it’s a Elgo Estate Chardonnay from the Strathbogie Ranges for a cocktail party or Austins Pinot Noir from Geelong for a gala, we can help you pick the perfect wine for your event.
