ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear friends
Gateway Fine Foods is no longer taking new bookings for wedding catering.
Over the years we’ve been honoured to be a part of many couples’ special days. We’ve delighted in planning personalised menus, preparing beautifully styled spreads, and serving happy guests at some of the region’s most beautiful venues. Catering a wedding is a detailed creative process and important task, and we’ve loved every minute of it.
However, from the start we've been committed to supporting local farmers, and connecting locals and visitors alike with the joys of food and what the Northern Rivers has to give. Our signature Long Table Lunches and workshops have been the best way to do this and are where our passion truly lies. As we lean into providing even more of these experiences next year, we’re no longer able to give further wedding planning and catering the time and attention your once-in-a-lifetime occasion deserves.
If you were considering booking us for a wedding in 2021 or beyond but had not yet reached out, we’d be happy to recommend you to a number of other fantastic local caterers - please get in touch. All existing wedding bookings are unaffected - we can’t wait for your big day.
Our cakes and catering services will continue to be available for corporate bookings and other private events.
Thank you for your continued support. We can’t wait to share what’s in store.

Annabelle Hickson @annabellehickson and Gillian Bell @gillianbellcake are two Australian friends who share their correspondence and invite us into their lives. Their letters to each other reveal their love of books, gardening, cooking, travelling, and the ordinary pleasures, trials and tribulations of daily life.
Annabelle lives on a pecan farm in the north west of New South Wales. She is a photographer, writer and flower lover. Gillian lives in urban Brisbane, Queensland, with a garden the size of a postage-stamp and a nearby allotment. She is a cake-maker and private cook who travels the world with her whisk to make wedding cakes that have a story of their very own.

How did this happen?
We went from doing basically nothing for 6 months to being fully booked until the end of the year. After many months of uncertainty its great to be back at it again. Thank you for your support and we are looking forward to ending 2020 with a bang.
