Simon Wallace
CEO
FOOD IS MY PASSION
Being in the industry as a young lad in a family business, my passion grew, leading me to study to become a chef. I completed my apprenticeship at the Watermark Restaurant in Balmoral Beach, Sydney and The Menzies Hotel in Sydney. This took me on a journey of travelling worldwide, expanding my skills and building my passion. Developing my experience and enthusiasm from working in hatted restaurants in Sydney, 5-star hotels and a 7-star cruise ship worldwide. Developing my skills and climbing the senior ladder to become Sous Chef & Head Chef led me to work with some of the best-named chefs in the industry.
My vision
Bringing people together and making a positive impact on our customers, team, environment, and community is at the core of our purpose. We aim to establish an exceptional reputation by consistently exceeding expectations in every service, dedicating ourselves to the success of our customers’ significant moments and crafting unforgettable events.
Jilly Wallace
Director
Originating in the UK and embarking on voyages aboard luxury cruise ships and backpacking adventures worldwide, I gained a profound appreciation for the diverse experiences shaping my life and illuminating the value of life’s smaller pleasures. The fresh outdoor air, the countryside, and the embracing environment became things I truly treasured.
My encounter with Simon during our time on cruise ships eventually led me to relocate to Noosa on the Sunshine Coast, where I started my very own family. I delved into studing interior design. This path naturally led me to become more aware of our environment and use natural quality Australian products, creating less waste.
Witnessing Simon’s hunger for his craft to grow, we jointly embarked on a new venture: establishing a café and bar, Benchmark.
While Simon’s passion for catering was always a driving force, gleaned from his experiences in grand hotels, we eventually took the leap to close that chapter and pursue our dreams. Good 2 Eat Catering was born. My role encompasses establishing Good 2 Eat Veggie Garden & being the visual identity of the business and guiding our team to excel in their respective capacities.

Gonzalo Marca
Sous Chef
My culinary journey and my profound passion for food found its roots in my early years. Growing up within a tight-knit family, dinnertime emerged as a pivotal “Social event,” a cherished tradition. I would often find myself captivated, observing my Grandmother’s culinary prowess as she skillfully crafted homemade pasta and other delectable dishes that brought everyone immense joy.
At the age of 18, I embarked on a journey to Spain, where I was presented with the opportunity to work in various restaurants. This experience not only solidified my culinary skills but also deepened my love for the art of food preparation. After five enriching years in Spain, I returned to Argentina, where I dedicated myself to studying as a Professional Chef.
My journey then led me to New Zealand 18 years ago, where I forged a new chapter by starting a family with my marriage and welcoming two daughters.
The thrill of travel, the discovery of diverse cultures, and the exploration of distinct culinary methods have remained a constant source of fascination for me. Continuously seeking novel ingredients, experimenting with innovative flavors, and crafting new dishes have become my perpetual pursuits.
