Corporate canapé catering with us typically starts from £30 per person. This covers kitchen staff, food and all of the service items. Service staff are also available, but the amount depends on the type of event and the type of drinks being served, so they are charged on a event by event basis. Tell us your event details and we’ll send an itemised quote.
We cater corporate events from 10 guests up to 500+. Our minimum for a fully staffed event is 10 for a sit down meal and 25 for canapés.
We recommend 12 weeks for larger events, but due to the size of our team, we can regularly take shorter-notice, last-minute and same-week bookings when our diary allows. If your event is soon, contact us and we’ll confirm availability.
Often, yes, but subject to availability. Call us on 02080508577 and we’ll tell you straight away whether we can cover your date.
Yes. Every menu can include vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free canapés, with a clearly laid out allergen sheet provided. Share your guests’ requirements when you book and we’ll handle the rest, including allergy management. See our terms and conditions provided at booking for full allergy and disclaimer information.
We provide professional service staff who set up, pass canapés throughout your event and clear away afterwards typically around 1 staff member per 10 guests, but this depends on the type of event. To prevent clients from paying for staff they don’t need, waiting staff are charged separately on an event by event basis. All kitchen staff (chefs, cleaning staff and assistants) are already included in the per head price.
Food, kitchen staff, serving equipment, setup and clear-up. We do not provide glassware, table linen or napkins and serving staff are charged on an event by event basis.
Yes — canapés work well alongside other menus for longer receptions. We’ll help you build the right combination for your timings.
Canapés are small, single bites passed by staff, ideal for receptions where guests stand and mingle. Bowl food is a small, more substantial dish eaten with a fork, good when you want something more filling without a sit-down meal. Many corporate events use both: canapés on arrival, bowl food later.
Yes. We issue invoices and work with company purchase orders. We’re set up for corporate booking processes.
We’re based in and focused on London events, but we also cover some areas of Surrey and Kent if the event meets spending requirements.
Offices and boardrooms, private members’ clubs, galleries, studios, rooftops and licensed event venues across London. We’re experienced with corporate venue requirements, not just private homes.
We understand corporate numbers move. You can adjust your final guest numbers up to 7 days before the event (as long as they do not move below the minimum), this number then becomes the minimum payable amount. however we can usually accommodate most common changes even up to and on the day of the event. It is very common to have drop outs or add ons at the last minute.
