Courgette Candles

Canapés are the perfect way to greet and impress friends, colleagues and customers, at any informal event, whether at your home or business premises. They are little bundles of flavour presented on serving platters, usually handed round to guests who take one and pop it straight in - maximum 2 bites is the rule. They are great ice-breakers too!

Canapés can be hot or cold, meat, fish or vegetarian, or based on a particular cuisine (Spanish, Indian...). Usually a balanced mixture of canapés will be put together to your requirements and budget.

Prices start from £4 per person, which would provide around 6 canapés each, suitable as light nibbles with drinks. If you are having an open evening and are not sure of the numbers attending, then you can simply order a set number of items, from around 60p per item. I will cater for much smaller parties than the big boys, who typically only cater for 50 people upwards.

For a full canape "buffet", requiring 12-14 items per person, the cost would be £8-£12 per head, depending on the dishes selected.

The canapés will be assembled and served at your home or office, with hot items cooked on the premises. Don't worry if you don't have cooking facilities, as long as you have an electric socket I can cope! I can also provide waiting at extra cost (£12.50 per hour). I am based in St Ives, Cambridgeshire, and so am well placed also for Huntingdon, Peterborough, Cambridge and holiday cottage in Norfolk. See my prices page for more details.

Please note: although I now have limited weekend availability up until Christmas 2011, if I can't personally cook and serve at your event I am happy to prepare and deliver canapés for your function in advance. Please get in touch to discuss.
