Food & Coffee Catering at the
Mudgee Small Farm Field Days

CATERING TENDERS OPEN and CLOSE in MARCH
Applicants will be informed whether they’ve been successful or not by mid-April.

The Mudgee Small Farm Field Days has a mix of caterers that include local community groups, commercial catering businesses & coffee vendors.

The total number of caterers and coffee providers are restricted so that those providing these services can expect a reasonable return for their efforts.

To apply to be a caterer at the event you need to complete the Caterers Application Form not the regular exhibitors application form. These forms are sent out in March, so to register your interest please email us prior to this.

Caterers are selected through a tender process, with consideration given to their menu, ability to deliver adequate quantities among other criteria.

Caterers are separate to regular exhibitors and a different set of rules apply.
