✨ WHAT. A. NIGHT! ✨

What can we say… it was an absolute pleasure and honour to be the caterer for such a special celebration — 150 years of Cairns Regional Council and 100 years of our good friends at Underwood Party Hire & Event Specialist! 🎉

A night filled with history, storytelling, celebration and plenty of good times, all set against the beautiful Cairns Esplanade. 🌴✨

And of course the incredible fireworks display 🎆

490 guests enjoyed a selection of canapés followed by a two-course alternate drop dinner, with our Ochre team proudly looking after every detail.

It was pretty special to be part of a night celebrating not only the incredible history of our city, but also a local family business that has been part of Cairns for a century.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in bringing this incredible event to life — and to our amazing Ochre team who worked tirelessly to make it happen. 💛

150 years celebration of Cairns. 100 years of Underwood Party Hire. One unforgettable night.

We are very proud to call Cairns Home 🥰

🎉 WE’RE CLOSED TODAY — BUT FOR A VERY SPECIAL REASON! 🎉

Today, the whole Ochre team is swapping the restaurant for a very special celebration as we have the absolute honour of catering for Cairns’ 150 years, in conjunction with Underwood Party Hire’s 100 years! 🥂🎂

With 500 guests to look after, we need the whole Ochre crew on deck! 👏

It’s a huge honour for us to be part of such a special milestone for our city — and we’re incredibly proud to be showcasing our food, our team and a taste of Far North Queensland at this celebration. ❤️

We do apologise for closing the restaurant today and any inconvenience this may cause, but we promise it’s for a pretty special reason! 😉

We’ll be back open on Monday as usual — see you soon! 🌴🥂

✨ Look who’s had a makeover! ✨

Our Front of House team have NEW uniforms, and we’ve taken it right back to Ochre’s early days! 💛

Swipe across to see then & now — from the early days of Ochre to our team today, proudly representing that iconic Ochre colour. 💛

A little bit of nostalgia, a fresh new look, and the same Ochre spirit we’ve had for 32 years!

What do you think of the new look? 👀

✨ A night that was First Class! ✨

We had the pleasure of catering for 140 guests at the stunning Tanks Art Centre — this time taking over Tank 5 for the First Class Financial Conference. 🍽️🥂

Guests enjoyed an alternate drop entrée, followed by a generous banquet main and banquet dessert, all showcasing the quality and creativity of Ochre Catering.

Add in an evening packed with live performers, awards, Australian beverages and plenty of celebration, and you’ve got one unforgettable event! 🇦🇺✨

A fantastic night in an incredible venue — and another great event in the books for the Ochre team! 💙
