About Us

Our Story

Two Bellingen mates, a wood-fired oven, and a belief that the best food is shared.

Founder Story

From Bellingen to the World — and Back Again

Bello began with two mates from Bellingen who took very different paths after leaving home. Years later, Callum and Ollie caught up on the other side of the world in Barcelona. Somewhere between there and a few quiet days on the Costa Brava, a conversation began about what it might look like to build something together back home.

The idea followed them home and, over time, became Bello Catering Co. Today, those different paths are a big part of the business — Ollie bringing years of professional cooking and Callum bringing a varied background across business, hospitality and life overseas, with a shared appreciation for the experience created around food.

Two mates, back where they started, building something they are proud to call their own.

The Team

Meet Oliver & Callum

Callum

Callum's path to Bello has been anything but traditional. Years spent travelling, working across different industries and eventually living in France shaped much of his outlook on food, hospitality and bringing people together.

It was in France that this appreciation really took shape. Long meals, aperitifs, shared tables and the importance placed on making time for family and friends around food left a lasting impression.

After a pretty varied journey, Bello has become a chance to bring those experiences together and build something meaningful back home in Bellingen with one of his oldest mates.

Oliver

Oliver developed his passion for food and refined his culinary skills in the kitchens of London, Sydney and Melbourne, working across high-end Italian and French restaurants. His travels through Central and North America, along with extensive time spent exploring Asia, have had a lasting influence on his cooking. Those experiences are reflected in Bello's menu — bringing together classic European technique, bold global flavours and a genuine love of creating memorable food.

Why We Do It

What Drives Us

We started Bello because we believe food is how people connect. Not the Instagram version of food — the real version. The kind where everyone's reaching across the table, asking what's on that pizza, going back for one more slice.

That's what we're building: a catering company that treats every event like it matters, because it does. Local ingredients, cooked with fire, served by people who actually care whether you had a good time.
