Our origin was catering from our café, Let’s Eat! at Ashgrove. Due to the growth of both the cafe and the catering business it was necessary to separate them. The catering business was named Plates & Platters Catering and found its new home and purpose designed commercial kitchen at Bardon.
Our commercial kitchen is approved and licensed by the Brisbane City Council and we are public liability insured. These licenses and insurances are requirements that all clients should demand prior to engaging a caterer. (If an individual or organization engages an unlicensed and/or uninsured caterer they may be held partly responsible in the event of illness or injury.)
Our compliance to Food Act 2006 and the most recent legislative requirements (Feb 2008) has been achieved;
“FSS and FSP provisions will commence on 22 February 2008. All licensed Food businesses will be required to have a suitably qualified FSS from this date. Defined businesses required to have a FSP are required to have a FSPin place from 22 February 2008. This applies to on-site and off-site catering activities and private hospitals” Qld Health Food Safety Update July 2007 Issue 29
