A positive thought can change your day: "Just one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day"

I discovered my passion for cooking in New Zealand, where I trained to be a Chef. Following this, I went on to work in some of Sydney’s and Brisbane’s top restaurants, and in France and the UK too. As well as this, I previously co owned and was the Executive Chef of Evans pub group, with my Uncle, Chris Evans of Virgin radio and the television series TFI. I bring a wealth of 25 years experience and knowledge to your special day!

What a day! Everyone, and I mean everyone complimented the food. It was the perfect amount to ensure all our guests were fed throughout the day without over indulging. The canapés were incredible, my fav was the lamb kofta, and I know the satay chicken got rave reviews. My personal favourite throughout the meal was the chicken, probably the best chicken I’ve ever tasted.

Man with a pan catered our wedding in June 2024 and were excellent from start to finish. So many guests complimented the food and the front of house team dealt with a last minute room turnaround seamlessly. So glad we chose them!

We had a wonderful time and were thrilled with Man With a Pan's food and service. We had countless comments on the excellent quality of the food. The paella was both a great experience and tasted amazing! I only wished I had eaten more! The canapés were highly popular, extremely tasty, and the perfect size, and the lat night meal, quesadas were a massive hit. Additionally, the whole team was extremely professional and helpful. I truly felt taken care of. I was blown away by the level of service

Could not recommend Mark and his team enough. We had a wedding of 150 people and Mark and his team ran our reception drinks, canapes, main meal, evening food, cocktails and evening bar. The food was phenomenal and guests have been commenting on it since. Working with Mark in the build up to the wedding was really easy, the tasting session was great and nothing seemed too much for him and the team, super easy going while being really professional and made sure the day ran so smoothly

Mark and his team recently catered our wedding, which had 160 guests, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. The food was outstanding, delivered promptly, and served by incredibly organized and friendly waiting staff. In addition to catering, Mark's team also managed our evening bar, even going the extra mile to organize all the empties into neat piles. Their attention to detail and friendliness were absolutely flawless. Our guests remarked that it was the best food they had ever had!

We used Man with a Pan for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made. All the food was absolutely phenomenal, with guests praising it time after time, especially the garlic prawns! Mark was great at providing advice and wisdom in the run up from his experience of the job, and the staff were all fantastic on the day. All in all, I would definitely recommend them 🙂

Happy couple married in October

We had a garden wedding and chose Man with a Pan to cater for us and what a choice! We have been overwhelmed with compliments and everyone loved the food! Mark was so helpful when we were building our menu, he guided us through considering dietary requirements and made great recommendations from the extensive menu he offers to create something that suited everyone. The choice, food and team were amazing!

Happy couple married in November

Mark and his team catered our wedding back in August and wow o wow he was amazing!! We are still getting compliments on how delicious the food was months later. We had a sit-down meal for 140 with a combination of delicious canapes, sharing starters, plated mains and sharing sides which worked amazingly to have that communal 'dinner table' vibe but presented beautifully. His team served amazingly keeping up with the canapes, tables and serving our bar and evening food super smoothly.
