Based between Sydney and the greater Hunter region, Howard and Co is a culinary project born from a passion for food, friends and events. I believe food is a true reflection of your personality and that of your event. I work with clients to create a menu which not only encapsulates your message, but bears a personal touch. I also consult with existing businesses to help update their menus to keep them on trend, in season and profitable.
