Melbourne’s Spring Racing Carnival is our favourite time of year. The excitement, the fashion, the celebs, the food – it’s a party from start to finish! If you’re planning to capture the buzz of Flemington on your own turf, with a party at home or at work, our beautifully presented delivered canapé offer is sure to impress your guests.

While you’re busy sourcing race-themed decorations, organising a sweep and finding the perfect race day outfit, we can take care of your catering needs to help transform your party into an unforgettable event.

This year, for the first time, we’re delivering in both Melbourne and Sydney, which means you can experience the glamour of a Peter Rowland event at home or at the office, by ordering the limited-edition Peter Rowland Spring Racing Canapé Box.

Set to be a race day favourite, the Canapé Box features a selection of six of our most famous party canapés (leg ham and leek quiche, daikon rice paper rolls, prawn rolls with lobster mayo, truffle and chestnut mushroom frittata, chocolate raspberry tartlets and of course, the famous Rowland chicken sandwich), and is delivered to your door in our beautiful 100% sustainable catering boxes, which double as a serving tray.

Just open the box and add champagne for an instant Melbourne Cup day party.

Fabulous food is an essential ingredient for any celebration, according to our Executive Chef, Matthew Haigh, and especially so for the Spring Racing Carnival. “Peter Rowland has been feeding people at the Melbourne Cup since 1962 and we love it. It’s a chance to enhance an amazing day with delicious canapés and gorgeous desserts.”

“Catering for the Cup is all about small portions of something special that you can hold in one hand, while you hold a Champagne flute in the other,” explains Matthew. “You want it to be chic. Our chicken sandwiches are iconic – not just because they’re delicious, they’re also easy to serve and fit perfectly in one hand.”

If you’re looking to provide a more substantial spread for your guests, our Delivered Catering menu features classic Peter Rowland options – all delivered to your door anywhere in Melbourne or Sydney, with 48 hours’ notice.
