Finger food
Finger food is our specialty. Hot or cold options – or a mix of both – will delight your guests.
Allow us to treat your guests to flavoursome delights while they mingle and enjoy themselves.
We’ll supply a chef to prepare the finger food at your function. You can also have another pair of hands to help serve food and beverages (add $198 per additional staff member – 3 hour minimum).
Our finger food menu is charged by the number of items per person. You’ll find our servings generous in size, but as a guide, to replace a meal, each person needs at about 7-9 items.
