PRIVATE DINING

by

STEELE

My obsession for food is something that has been with me from a very young age. This passion led me to throwing myself into some of Townsville’s most awarded restaurants and now my own private dining business. My goal is to share my love for food with you and your guests in the comfort of your own home, office or venue of choice, delivering you a unique dining experience.
My food is Modern Australian fine dining with global influences, showcasing the beauty of native Australian ingredients and harnessing raw flame to deliver elegant dishes with unique flavours. 
Whether you are planning a special occasion, function, or just feel like treating yourself to a long lunch with friends, I would love to create it with you.

  • Private Dining by Steele is a decadent and sophisticated experience. With such attention to detail, Steele creates the most delicious and mouth watering moments. Steele is passionate about creating memorable dining events.

  • My experience with Private Dining by Steele was outstanding. The food was absolutely amazing and I recommend this unique experience to everyone. 10/10 and cannot wait to book again!

    Harriet H

  • An experience I will never forget. Steele was very helpful, his food was like nothing I have ever experienced. The entire experience from start to finish was flawless.

    Emma Robinson

  • A truly unique and intimate experience, Steele created theatre through dining. The artistic food presentation to the elegant table decor, it all takes a backseat to the flavours and passion he presents in every dish. I tried new foods and flavour pairings I never would have selected outside of this experience as the entire menu and 'performance' is honestly so captivating. Its hard to go out and enjoy fine dining again and feel like an 'adult' with young kids, so having an affordable option in my own home, while the kids slept is so great! I recommend EVERYTHING and you can be assured I'll be booking again (and again).

  • Recently, I scored a seat at a table of 8, to experience a night that was so much more than the tasting menu on offer. We were all quick to realise, that it wasn't just about the laughter and the stories from around the table and it wasn't just about the food prepared right before our eyes. It was the combination of the setting, the company, the feeling and ambience which was all about Steele working right there just feet away. The anticipation of what was coming from the kitchen next, was exciting and like being part of a show. Yes the food was seriously good but it was way way more than just the food. A perfect evening!

    Giulian Fichera

  • Absolutely amazing experience and food! Being able to have an intimate dining experience in the comfort of your own home makes for such a memorable and enjoyable evening. It also helps that the food is next level! Can’t recommend highly enough and will definitely be booking again.

  • When recently planning a luncheon for friends, I contacted Steele to see if he was available (at short notice) and to discuss a menu suitable for our selection of wines. Dealing with Steele was absolutely effortless and in no time, we had a mouth-watering menu selected and the booking was locked in. Steele arrived with everything! –plates, cutlery, linens, table decoration and professionally printed menus, and proceeded to set the table before moving into the kitchen to prepare our meals. We were all absolutely delighted, and completely and totally elated with the flow of the luncheon, presentation and taste of every course presented to us. High quality produce, expertly prepared and presented, set the luncheon in high esteem and has left us all wanting MORE! Without fuss or ‘noise’ from the kitchen, Steele cleaned and packed away, such that the kitchen was as clean (if not cleaner) as when he arrived. I would have no reservation in recommending Private Dinning by Steele for any occasion or event …he is professional, organised, skilled and sets an extremely high standard in catering, that is almost impossible to match!!!

  • Steele was very professional, organised and produced high quality food. We got to have amazing fine dining in our own home which was so reaxed and.enjoyable. Would highly recommend.

    Amelia Edwards

  • What an amazing experience! I can't recommend Steele highly enough. Can't wait for another excuse to experience his cuisine again.

    Dominic Fichera

  • Steele was an absolute dream to work with on a 'baby shower banquet' where an Asian inspired menu was requested by the mum to me. The food Steele produced was absolutely delicious and we were all very jealous that the host got to keep the leftovers. I have already booked Steele for another two events. Highly HIGHLY recommend.

  • I recently had the pleasure of experiencing "Private Dining by Steele" and I must say it was an extraordinary culinary journey. Steele's personalised dining service brought a touch of luxury and sophistication to my own apartment, making it a truly memorable evening. From the moment Steele arrived, his attentiveness and professionalism were apparent. He seamlessly navigated my space, ensuring that he respected our privacy and blended into the background, allowing us to fully enjoy the dining experience. His unobtrusive nature created a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the sensational seven-course meal that Steele crafted. Each course was a work of art, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavours and served in perfect timing. Not only did Steele showcase his culinary expertise, but he also left my apartment spotless. However, what truly set Steele apart was his friendly and engaging demeanour. He struck the perfect balance between being personable and professional, making the evening even more enjoyable. Steele's knowledge and passion for what he did shone through in his conversations with us and I loved hearing how sometimes his Grandma helped with his desert selection. Our evening with "Private Dining by Steele" was an absolute delight and I look forward to the next experience that I have already booked.
