Peter Rowland Catering at NGV International has been awarded Victoria’s Best Venue Caterer by the key industry body, Restaurant and Catering Australia.

NGV International is one of the many acclaimed venues for Peter Rowland catering events

“Our approach is to make every event a memorable occasion,” said Brian Leyden, Chief Executive Officer of Peter Rowland Catering. “At NGV International both the Great Hall and the restaurant, Persimmon, are popular for events”, he said. “We regularly cater for product launches, gala dinners, awards nights, weddings and cocktail functions for as few as 30 through to more than 2000.” It is Peter Rowland Catering’s level of excellence that has been recognised by the Restaurant and Catering Australia judges.

Leyden said Peter Rowland Catering, which is in its 50th year of business, is proud of its partnership with NGV International and The Ian Potter Centre : NGV Australia and congratulates its NGV team on winning this Award.

Peter Rowland Catering manages all dining outlets at NGV International and The Ian Potter Centre : NGV Australia, which offers a choice of options for NGV visitors and the general public. The Tea Room at NGV International, famous for its macaroons and exquisite cakes, has a very loyal clientele. One of NGV International’s hidden gems, Persimmon, is quickly becoming a popular lunch restaurant for the city and Southbank business trade and Melbourne’s lunching community.

 “2011 is the NGV’s 150th anniversary and is a year of celebrations. Congratulations to Peter Rowland Catering and the team at the NGV on this significant achievement,” said Nick Palmer, executive director NGV Foundation.

Peter Rowland Catering has recently launched its new functions menus and is experiencing strong enquiries for functions, weddings and Christmas bookings.
