Talk to me now if you'd like to 'wow' your guests with culinary creativitity. That's createring.

Event audiences demand more from their food and beverage experiences today than ever before. Food and beverage plays a starring role in the creation of an overall event experience and in the lasting impression a brand makes on its guests. Tom has single-handedly turned on its head the way food and beverage for events is designed, purchased and delivered and can apply his winning formula anywhere i

n the world. Tom is not a caterer; he uses his 40+ years’ experience as a chef, producer, business person and creator to work with event producers to buy on their behalf food and beverage experiences for their events. Tom’s holistic approach commences with the event at its core and then designs a total culinary experience to match. He can look at everything from writing the menu, instructing chefs, creating memorable menu delivery concepts, designing those special wow moments all the way through to determining what the food is served on, the source of the ingredients and the wine list and tasting notes.

🍽️ Calling All Restaurant Owners! 📣

Hey fellow restaurateurs, times have been tough, but I've stumbled upon a game-changer that could transform our businesses. Have you heard about Halo Dining? It's not just a solution; it's a lifeline for struggling restaurants like ours. Did you know that you can earn three times more from the same 8 people who usually dine in your restaurant, all from the comfort of their homes? It's time to shift our focus from traditional venues to the goldmine within our existing customer base through in-home dining experiences.

2023 hit the full-service restaurant industry hard, with an average profit of only 1.6%. We're in survival mode, and Halo Dining is the beacon we've been looking for. No more struggling with poor lunchtime patronage – consider boardroom catering as a viable alternative to keep that cash flowing. The Australian restaurant industry is in need of reform, and we can be at the forefront of this change.

Here's the exciting part – it's now easier than ever to book your restaurant without the hassle of negotiations and discussions. The Menu Maker feature allows us to create menus that truly represent our unique vibe. Let's explore how Halo Dining can transform our lives and boost our income immediately. Reach out, make contact, and let's see how this revolutionary approach can change the game for our struggling restaurants. Together, we can thrive in this challenging landscape! 🚀🍕

Our Story

Known as the ‘createrer’ thanks to his creative catering concepts, Tom has nearly 40 years’ experience in the industry. The world’s most unique caterer, he can deliver unforgettable culinary experiences in any venue in the world, from outdoor picnics to three-star Michelin experiences, for two to ‘too many’. As well as being a disruptor to the catering industry, he also designs furniture, hosts luxury gastronomy and cultural tours to destinations including Russia, Spain and the Napa Valley, is a writer, sailor and a mentor to many.

Tom began his career in 1980 at Le Gavroche in London - the flagship restaurant of French-British chef-restaurateurs Albert and Michel Roux, which was the first in the world to gain three Michelin stars outside of France. After returning to Australia, he created the Truffle Group Catering Company, and was involved in high-profile events, including more than a decade on the legendary Cointreau Ball and launches for Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Hermes. He presented Australian cuisine for heads of state at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games and the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano and was the caterer at the Sydney 2000 sponsor hospitality centre. Other clients included the Sydney Football Stadium, Sydney Cricket Ground and the Sydney Opera House. Since 2008, Tom has been operating a boutique food and beverage management agency, working with businesses, restaurants, clubs, hotels and event producers. His clients have included Foxtel, the Panthers Group, Visy Industries and The Langham, Sydney. For the past three years, Tom has worked with Tourism Australia on the Australian Tourism Exchange, the country’s largest annual travel and tourism business-to-business event. Tom also works internationally and has recently produced four dinners for 500 of guests at three Michelin-star standard for HSBC’s 150th anniversary in Hong Kong.
