The Story Behind BLAKEAWAY: A Family Kitchen That Never Closed

The Story Behind BLAKEAWAY: A Family Kitchen That Never Closed

Some businesses are born from a big idea. BLAKEAWAY was born from a pandemic, a family, and a kitchen that refused to go quiet.

From Blakes Feast to BLAKEAWAY

Before BLAKEAWAY, there was Blakes Feast; a Melbourne catering company built on the belief that really good food, made properly, brings people together. When the pandemic shut the doors on events and catering across the country, father and daughter Andrew and Neredah faced a choice: stop, or find another way.

They found another way.

Glenby was in the kitchen making lasagnes. Kasey was on the phones. Jen Jen and Neredah were packing the food. And the entire team were right there with them...because that's what this family, and this team, does.

That spirited, all-hands-in moment became BLAKEAWAY: a chef-made meal delivery service built for everyday life.

Chef-Made Meals, Delivered to Your Door

BLAKEAWAY exists for one reason: to put really good food on your table, without the effort. Every meal is prepared by our chefs using quality ingredients - no shortcuts, no compromises.

Whether you're a busy professional in Melbourne's CBD, a family looking for easy weeknight dinners, or someone who simply values food made properly, BLAKEAWAY was made for you.

We now have six locations across Melbourne, and we deliver chef-prepared meals across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, and the ACT, bringing the BLAKEAWAY kitchen to your door wherever you are on the east coast.

NDIS Meal Delivery & Support at Home (SAH)

Good food should be accessible to everyone. BLAKEAWAY is proud to support participants through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and Support at Home (SAH), providing nutritionist-approved, chef-made meals that meet the needs of participants and their care coordinators.

Our NDIS meal delivery and SAH-approved meals are available across Melbourne and through our delivery network spanning VIC, NSW, QLD, SA, and ACT — making it easier for support coordinators, care professionals, and families to access quality meals as part of a funded care plan.

The Mission Hasn't Changed

Six Melbourne locations. Delivery across Australia's east coast. The faces behind it haven't changed - well, it did age us a little. But the mission hasn't: feed people well, the way we always have.

This is our story. And we're so glad you're part of it.
