The official launch of Catering HW at Altona RSL on 1 October 2025 marks an exciting new chapter in both the venue’s story and the group’s national growth. The opening introduced a refreshed approach to dining, centred on genuine hospitality, quality ingredients, and memorable guest experiences.
At the heart of the partnership with Altona RSL lies a shared commitment to enhancing the consumer experience and setting a new benchmark for food and service excellence. The initiative also represents a significant milestone for Catering HQ as it takes its first step into the Victorian market, following years of success across New South Wales venues.
As Managing Director, Steve Sidd explained,
“The goal has always been to go beyond great food. It is about creating experiences that people connect with. Altona is an outstanding venue with a strong community spirit, and that makes it the ideal place to begin this next phase of growth.”
The dining experience at Altona RSL reflects Catering HQ’s signature blend of approachable sophistication and consistency. The menu combines familiar favourites with contemporary, seasonal dishes crafted from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Each offering is designed to suit a variety of occasions, from casual lunches to family gatherings, while maintaining an unwavering focus on quality and presentation.
Beyond the dining room, Catering HQ operates as a comprehensive hospitality group built on four key pillars: Venues, Wholefoods, Network, and Hospitality Genie. Through these integrated divisions, the business provides not only exceptional food and service but also a complete ecosystem of support for the hospitality industry. From venue management and menu innovation to supply chain efficiency and technology solutions, each pillar contributes to a seamless and sustainable approach that continues to set Catering HQ apart within the sector.
The partnership with Altona RSL represents more than a venue launch; it signals the continued evolution of Catering HQ as a full-service hospitality leader. Through integrated systems, supply networks, and operational expertise, the group continues to redefine what community venues can deliver to their members and guests.
With Altona RSL now part of the Catering HQ portfolio, attention turns to building a consistent and enduring presence across Victoria. This expansion is designed to bring the same standards of culinary excellence, operational efficiency, and genuine hospitality that have become synonymous with the brand in New South Wales.
This milestone marks the beginning of a broader journey that combines local character with professional polish, ensuring every guest feels welcome, valued, and inspired to return. Altona RSL stands as both a celebration of community and a statement of what is possible when passion for hospitality meets precision in execution.
