Howler Monkey Catering at Mt Barker SA
Our Culinary Story Comes Alive
Our Passion
Jacob Pierce, owner and operator is a proud Kaurna and Nurrunga man with a sharp wit and contagious sense of humour. Through Howler Monkey Catering he is reclaiming his cultural identity, honouring his ancestor's tradition of cooking for community for over 2500 generations.
Howler Monkey Catering provides a small but flavourful selection of dishes, including vegetarian and international influences.
Howler Monkey Catering is also so much more than honest, wholesome cooking...it is also the opportunity to connect, share a laugh and slow down, even just for a moment. Everyone is welcome and can collect Jacob's food from Jacob himself and have a yarn in a safe community space that values diversity and inclusion.
In a fast paced world Jacob actively chooses to cook slowly with attention to detail and respect for the ingredients and the planet. He is committed to low-waste processes and environmentally friendly practices, only using locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.
A percentage of profits also go to Canteen, an Australian charity that has provided free and tailored support to young people impacted by cancer for almost 40 years. So you’re not only getting great food but also contributing to something bigger!
Pre-Made Meal Offerings
Jacob brings his creative flair and love for cooking together once a month to make a seasonal, fresh, homemade meal for the community at a very reasonable price. There is a different meal on offer each month. Enjoy delicious dishes without the stress of cooking or having to dine out.
They can be eaten fresh to enjoy later by anyone wanting a healthy meal:
-
worker's pre-made lunches
-
families for a quick dinner on sport night
-
busy singles
-
individuals living in supported living arrangements
-
NDIS participants
