Finger food

Our minimum booking for cocktail parties is 15 guests.

V: Vegetarian
GF: Gluten Free
DF: Dairy Free

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.
