Choose Your Experience
No more frozen Party Pies!
How many times have you attended a function and been served dry mini quiches, flaky sausage rolls or partly frozen party pies? It might be a quick and easy meal option but one that can often leave you wanting for more; more flavour, nutrition and love. Our private party catering ensures that this is never the case at your event.
At Talking Turkey we excite your appetite with our signature gourmet canapés – an international selection made from scratch using fresh and local produce. Our presentation is beautiful and artistic, there’s loads of flavour and we make sure no one goes home hungry. Our signature canapé parties are a cornerstone of our party catering repertoire and are a delightful way to win your guests’ hearts. While you mingle and entertain, it is our absolute pleasure to take care of the catering.
Prepared and assembled fresh on site, our canapés will reflect the mood and theme of your function and deliver the ‘wow’ factor in terms of style and taste. Classic favourites and gourmet parcels of goodness will satisfy both the foodies and the fusspots. We also provide great vegetarian and gluten-free options.
Our party catering menus involve canapés that are suitable for all occasions; wedding parties, corporate events, birthday celebrations, baby showers, anniversaries, bucks and hens nights, house warmings, office parties and more.

“….his passion for food was obvious…”
My family recently shared a wonderful special night to remember while on holiday in Noosa. We were there to celebrate my mum’s birthday and upon rave recommendations from a friend, we decided to arrange a surprise dinner party with our personal chef Santosh. As our parents were soon to travel to India we chose an Indian Banquet as the theme His passion for food was obvious, his friendly nature and laugh infectious, and his talent slowly unfolded. We would thoroughly recommend Santosh for a dining experience in the comfort of your own holiday accommodation or home.

Graze your way through…….
The Degustation Menus showcase the best of modern Australian cuisine, utilising gourmet ingredients from the Sunshine Coast Queensland and around the world. Personally designed by Chef Santosh, this is the absolute finest in culinary experiences. We create a tempting menu of up to 10 courses personalised to your taste. Each menu is priced on the selection of dishes and number of guests.
Talking Turkey’s degustation dining has become a popular variety of private dinner parties as it includes small but plentiful portions for guests to enjoy. It’s an exciting alternative to any event or celebration. Our signature seven and ten course degustation menus are carefully and specifically constructed just for you.

Menus are seasonally crafted, offering intricate, contemporary exciting dishes. Our aim is to constantly be inventive, drawing influences from season, flavour, aroma and texture.
“…every course was to die for…”
My family was privileged, thanks to my son’s organisation, to have Santosh from Talking Turkey prepare an unforgettable culinary experience on Mother’s Day at our home in Mooloolaba. I had no idea this was happening until the doorbell rang and Santosh arrived with numerous boxes containing everything required to prepare the 10 course degustation menu we were going to enjoy. I even got to help with some of the prep and learn a few tricks of the trade. Every course was to die for – from the combination of flavors to the amazing presentation – there was nothing that could be faulted.
Involves sampling a variety of chef’s signature dishes in one sitting, which are individually plated and served over 5-7 courses as a formal sit down meal.
This style of menu provides an intimate and high-end dining atmosphere.
Prices include menu consultation, Chef Santosh, ingredients; food prepared and cooked fresh on-site, disposable napkins, cooking utensils, washing and cleaning up.

“His flavours and combinations are 5 star…”
You can taste the passion Santosh has for cooking. His flavours, combinations and presentations are 5 star. Each and every dish has been carefully planned and prepared to deliver the best. I cannot wait to celebrate an occasion at home and for Santosh to come cater. Thank you for such an enjoyable evening!
“We had the best experience with Santosh….”
We had the best experience with Santosh at a private house in Noosa recently. He made amazing tapas dishes for us and then a chicken curry to die for. He made our experience fun and entertaining, he was very professional and he cleaned all the mess and left us with a clean kitchen. Need to book again next year for our annual get together. Thanks Santosh.
“….it was an incredible experience.”
I recently attended a degustation evening with Chef Santosh and I would have to say it was an incredible experience. The food was absolutely delicious as he is able to combine the different flavours in each dish to perfection. Everyone who attended had an amazing time and Santosh was just the most humble and down to earth person you could meet.
“Best idea for a dinner party ever!”
Santosh is a great guy and an awesome chef!! He turned up and took care of everything, cleaning up included!! The food was amazing, hard to pick a favourite but his pork belly is amazing! I could have eaten the whole thing if he let me. This was a first home chef experience for us and I can see now why famous people have them full time. Best idea for a dinner party ever!
