Retreat Catering

Soulful food, wherever the journey takes you...

Crafting food on retreat is an opportunity to nourish both body and spirit.

At Cosi, we prioritise fresh, wholesome ingredients to create meals that foster connection and presence among guests. Through mindful cooking practices and simple, seasonal recipes, we help cultivate an atmosphere that enhances the retreat experience.

Led by chef Stacey Tarleton, our produce-driven menus are inspired by place—sourcing local, organic, and seasonal ingredients wherever possible. From the coastlines of Noosa to the wilds of Patagonia, every dish is infused with care, creativity, and a deep respect for the land.

Taste, presentation, and communal dining come together to elevate each gathering, encouraging meaningful conversation and shared memory. From rustic outdoor barbecues to cosy indoor feasts, our offerings reflect the rhythm of the retreat and support a deep sense of well-being and community.

Whether we're providing full-service catering or helping you with key moments, we bring ease, warmth, and intention to the kitchen. Let COSI hold space for you—with food that feels good, and feeds the spirit.

Get in touch—let’s shape a culinary experience that’s as thoughtful and unique as your retreat.
