King’s Catering is proudly part of the much-loved Country Life Café, a Warrnambool institution focusing on meals that are nutritious, easy to eat, familiar and comforting, particularly for older Australians with Support at Home packages.

King’s Catering is proudly part of the much-loved Country Life Café, a Warrnambool institution that has been serving the community for more than 85 years. Rob took ownership in 2004, bringing with him a strong background in healthcare food services, having worked as a chef in a private hospital overseeing food preparation for patients with diverse dietary needs. Rob has continued the café’s long tradition as a working-class, ready-to-go meal venue that older locals, tradies and workers rely on for hearty meals.

Supporting Older Australians

King’s Catering began supporting Home Care Package and Support at Home in 2020. The service grew rapidly, and the team now supports 70–100 clients weekly.

Rob credits his healthcare background for shaping how he cooks for older Australians – focusing on meals that are nutritious, easy to eat, familiar and comforting. He genuinely loves looking after older people, values their feedback, and understands just how important accessible meals are for them.

Meals Loved for Generations

King’s Catering proudly continues many recipes that locals have enjoyed for decades. Their most popular dishes include:

  • Curry Sausages – on the menu for over 35 years

  • Chicken & Vegetable Soup – made fresh multiple times a week

  • Hearty Homemade Soups – always available and always popular

  • Cottage Pie – traditional, comforting and generously portioned

  • Lasagne – a long-time favourite made with rich beef sauce and creamy layers

  • Beef Casserole – slow-cooked, tender and perfect for easy eating

  • These are true homestyle favourites – the kind of meals older Australians know and trust.

A Simple, Reliable, Local Service

While delivery isn’t currently offered, King’s Catering provides a convenient and consistent pickup service from the café. With 85 years of history, decades of catering experience and a deep commitment to supporting older Australians, King’s Catering continues to serve the Warrnambool community with warmth, tradition and reliability.
