Glossary
Cool Canapes These are the lighter options to kick your event off. With no cooking required onsite, these are assembled by your chef & designed to get your guests talking.
Hot Canapes These include a mix of either oven cooked or fried menu options which are cooked onsite at your event. Though a little more filling than cool canapes, they are still designed to be about ‘2 bites’ in size.
BBQ Canapes These are fresh, lean proteins cooked on a BBQ in front of your guests. Packed full of herbs & spices as soon as these hit the grill plate – everyone will know about it!
Substantial Canapes These are a real step up in portion size & usually fly off our platters the quickest – they are more like ‘4 bites’ in size.
Bowl Food The name really says it all, these are served in small bowls with a fork or spoon and are designed as a mini meal. These are brought out during the night to maintain a steady variety of filling options.
