As the home of the Collingwood Football Club, the Westpac Centre has unique “state of the art” facilities ideal for events of all kinds, from small parties, meetings and conferences through to large scale corporate entertainment and wedding receptions.
The partnership between Blakes Feast and Collingwood will ensure that this unique venue will provide the highest standards of food & beverage service.
“We are really looking forward to being able to provide a level of catering commensurate with the superior facility that The Westpac Centre is,’ says Blake. The elite facilities at the Westpac Centre along with its amazing location, set on the banks of the Yarra River, in the shadows of the CBD and just walking distance to the Botanic Gardens, Federation Square, the MCG, AAMI Park and Rod Laver Arena, offer a wonderful opportunity for Blakes to promote and support a wide range of events.”
Collingwood President Eddie McGuire said, “We are delighted that Blakes Feast, one of Melbourne’s finest and most experienced boutique catering companies has been appointed as the exclusive caterer at this iconic venue. It is essential that as we continue to expand our events business at the Westpac Centre, we provide the very best in food and beverage service. Blakes Feast will take us to a new level.”
With over 30 years in the food industry Andrew Blake has been involved in the establishment of many iconic Melbourne restaurants such as Blakes, Stella, Blakes Events Warehouse & Blakes Cafeteria. Andrew joined Blakes Feast (co-owned with ex-wife Jennie) six years ago and today works with his two daughters, Kasey Thompson and Neredah Blake.
Throughout Andrew’s career his commitment has not wavered from continuing to deliver fresh, honest and innovative food. Moving into catering Andrew, wanted to fill a niche in the catering industry by delivering restaurant quality food to any location.
The whole team at Blakes Feast is extremely excited about this new venture and look forward to a long and successful partnership with the Collingwood Football Club.
