We bring the restaurant
to you.

From quick-turnaround corporate brunch to a long-table feast for 100, Wan Maus delivers freshly made, properly cooked food with the kind of care and professionalism that people actually remember.

We've catered events across Goroka — independence day BBQs, expat Christmas parties, school lunch days, corporate product launches, private birthday dinners, multi-day mission retreats. Each one handled the same way: with real ingredients, clean technique, and no shortcuts.

Every menu is built around your event. Tell us what you need — style, guest count, dietary requirements — and we'll come back with a quote and a menu that works.

  • Spring rolls, pork red curry, pad thai, green banana curry, crying tiger steak, satay, karaage, larb cups, mango sticky rice.

  • Flatbreads & dips, osso bucco, Portuguese chicken, Greek lamb kebabs, seafood paella, pasta, tiramisu & fresh salads.

  • Smash burgers, fried chicken, pork ribs, BBQ lamb, slow-cooked sausages, potato wedges, coleslaw & banoffee cups.

  • Mini bagels, cocktail spring rolls, chicken wings, pork satay sticks, kau kau chips & guac, fruit platters, donut balls & money bags.

Our menus draw on Thai, Mediterranean, European, and Asian cooking traditions — always built around what's fresh and what suits your event. We don't hand you a fixed menu and ask you to pick from a list. We talk about your occasion and design around it.

Multi-day &
residential catering

Wan Maus is experienced in catering across multiple days and meal periods — whether that's a conference breakfast followed by a formal dinner, or a week-long mission retreat requiring full daily service.

We plan, shop, prep, cook and clean up across every service. You don't need to think about food once we're engaged.

Coffee & beverages

We offer a full arabica espresso ground coffee service for events — including equipment, milk, sugar, cups and service.

We also make fresh-pressed juices and can design bespoke cocktails or mocktails for your occasion (Pineapple Old Fashioned, Lime Drop, Espresso Martini and more).

How it works:

  • Contact us with your event date, location, approximate guest numbers and the style of occasion

  • We'll respond with menu suggestions and a quote — usually within 24 hours

  • Confirm with a 50% deposit and we'll lock in your date

  • We arrive, set up, cook and serve — you focus on your guests

  • We clean up and leave the space as we found it

For off-site events with no kitchen facilities (offices, outdoor venues), we handle all prep off-site and arrive with everything ready to plate and serve. We've done it many times — it's no issue.
