Thinking outside the square has paid off for Greg Bookallil, the sought out caterer and owner of Sydney’s Box Catering. Based in sunny Lane Cove, Greg and his dedicated team make dreams come true for their extensive and diverse clientele base, providing a wide variety of delicious catered options with a personalised service to match.

In addition to his wildly successful catering company, Greg is also the proud owner of the Longueville Hotel in Sydney. Known simply as, ‘The Longy’, the hotel has been a Lane Cove icon since 1929. Major renovations were completed in 2006, transforming the venue into a beautiful, welcoming establishment, renowned for their excellent service and fine pub grub. Greg juggles his time between managing the hotel and Box Catering, which has been operating within the hotel’s premises since 2009.

Although the two businesses were able to share the majority of their commercial kitchen equipment, the best caterers know you can’t be without a quality and durable food transportation system, as Greg explains.

“At Box Catering, food safety is one of our highest priorities. All food we cater for must be delivered to our customers in a temperature controlled environment to meet food safety standards. Not only that, we also take great care and pride with the quality of the food we deliver.”

In order to ensure their food transport and holding products were up to scratch, Greg underwent a rigorous 3 month trial of various product solutions.

“When we initially came up with the idea, we knew food holding and transport would be paramount to the success of the business. We did many months of testing with various brands of food holding and transport equipment. At the end of the 3 months trial, we were convinced that Cambro hot boxes were the only solution for our catering needs.”

The results have been better than anticipated.

“We now have 14 Cambro hot boxes that gets loaded and transported to clients with hot, fresh and delicious food daily. These hot boxes are vital to the daily operation of Box Catering. Whether we need to deliver food down the street, across town or hours away, we count on Cambro to keep soups hot in winter and salads crisp and cool in summer.”
