Experience the art of exceptional events with Peter Rowland
The Peter Rowland Group has been a leader in the Australian catering and events industry for over six decades. Established in 1962, what began as a boutique catering company in Melbourne has since grown into a multi-faceted food and experience business, with offerings that span private event management, major event catering, venue management, hotels, restaurants, bars, cafes, large-scale retail environments, and e-commerce delivery. Our services are now available in both Melbourne and Sydney.
At Peter Rowland, we pride ourselves on offering exceptional five-star service, 100% of the time. Our team of highly skilled and dedicated professionals has catered some of the nation's biggest events and is here to assist you every step of the way. We believe that a great caterer possesses the taste of a chef, the imagination of an artist, and the timing of a conductor, and we strive to embody these qualities in everything we do.

Two Good Charity
We are proud to partner with Two Good, a social enterprise that supports women fleeing domestic violence through a buy-one-donate-one system.
