Linda and Colleen first met over 30 years ago when they began their careers in the banking industry together.

Over those years, they’ve shared a passion for food and love sharing their culinary delights with family and friends.
Linda and Colleen always had a vision of running a catering company together but logistically, until now, it wasn’t possible.

 

 
 

Colleen

After leaving the bank to start a family, Colleen successfully ran her own catering company from home.

Colleens love of baking saw her cakes served on the menus of various restaurants in Warrnambool such as Beach Babylon, The Grand Hotel and The Saltmarsh Studio. Her signature Lemon Meringue Pie was always a sell out.

Colleen has spent the last decade working in a popular Warrnambool cafe. Having a love for coffee, it was the perfect environment for her to develop her skills as a barista.

Colleen Dickson catered our wedding in 2005 and people still talk about the food to this day!! Imagine that talent times 2!!

Linda Robinson

In 1997, Linda married, left the bank and moved to 'Kuleah' a beef and sheep property north of Warrnambool.

Looking for a challenge whilst raring her children she started ‘Linda Robinson Catering’. Catering for all the Western District Farming Families around Dunkeld, Hamilton,  Caramut, Port fairy and as far as The Grampians. Weddings, Special birthday parties, Dunkeld Race Marquees were a few of the many events she catered for.

Linda retired from catering in 2015 and moved with her family to Warrnambool. 

We can’t thank Linda enough for all her hard work in the lead up to, on and after our wedding day. Her food was just outstanding – we had so many positive comments- everyone loved it!

And now, after last working together 25 years ago, Linda and Colleen have reunited to create A Passionate Pear.
