Authentic Spanish paella in Frankston — 17km from our kitchen, $60–$80 travel fee, full setup included.
Frankston sits at the southern end of Melbourne's southeastern rail corridor, right on Port Phillip Bay, with a coastal energy that's shifted noticeably over the past decade. The pier precinct has been upgraded, the Frankston Arts Centre brings events down from the city, and the suburb's food and hospitality scene has grown alongside a community that now hosts more seriously than it used to.
We travel to Frankston for private parties, corporate events, and community functions. The beach proximity means outdoor events here benefit from the same natural setting that makes Melbourne's bayside suburbs so good for paella — warm evenings, salt air, and guests who are already relaxed before the food arrives. Frankston also gives guests from the Peninsula a reason to stay local rather than driving to Melbourne.

Frankston Arts Centre is one of the peninsula's premier event venues and regularly uses external caterers for functions — worth contacting directly if you're looking for a managed venue rather than a private garden. The pier precinct and Kananook Creek Reserve are also popular outdoor event spaces for permit-based events.
Private garden events are common in Frankston's residential streets — the suburb's block sizes are generous, and the coastal atmosphere means outdoor entertaining here carries a natural energy that suits live cooking well. We've set up in gardens within walking distance of the pier and in quieter residential areas further east.
Frankston has a genuine local community character, which means our most popular bookings here are private milestone celebrations — 40th and 50th birthdays, end-of-year gatherings for local sports clubs, and community fundraisers. We also cater for corporate groups from the Frankston Business Precinct and nearby Seaford and Carrum Downs industrial areas.
The suburb's Peninsula Gateway position means guests from Mornington and Mount Eliza can attend Frankston events without the drive into Melbourne — which makes it a practical central point for events where your guest list is spread across the south-east.
