Canapés are the perfect way to greet and impress friends, colleagues and customers, at any informal event, whether at your home, office or premises. They are presented on serving plates, 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 70p per item. I will cater for much smaller parties than the big boys, who typically only cater for 25-30 people upwards.

For a full canape "buffet", requiring 12-14 items per person, the cost would be £10-£15 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 am based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, and am well placed also for Derbyshire and the Peak District. See my prices page for more details.
