UQ’s showcase Brisbane CBD venue, Customs House has won another two highly feted hospitality awards.

At the recent Savour Australia Restaurant and Catering awards in Excellence, Customs House won national awards for ‘Caterer of the Year’ and ‘Function/Convention Centre Caterer’.

Customs House Director Brian Roberts said there were multiple factors behind the landmark venue’s continuing acclaim.

“We’ve been awarded Caterer of the Year for the past two years,” Mr Roberts said.

“Our staff’s commitment to excellence is complemented by a willingness in the kitchen to incorporate sustainable local produce and flavours from south-east Queensland into menus,” he said.

“Combined, a fresh approach to food, breath-taking architecture and excellent service creates a truly memorable experience for our guests.”

Customs House caters for more than 66,000 guests at about 60 weddings and 700 other events each year. Its restaurant also serves 25,000 diners a year.

Mr Roberts attributed the popularity of Customs House to the quality of its food and the determination of its staff to exceed guests’ expectations.

“Guests can be assured of excellent food, fantastic river views and friendly professional service,” he said.

“The cuisine is modern Australia, with ingredients sourced locally and organically as much as possible.

“We are well-known for our unique functions for clients who want to add the elegance of Brisbane’s heritage to their contemporary event,” he said.
