Gourmet Finger Food Catering in Melbourne
The ideal solution for events where your guests are standing and chatting without the need for tables and chairs

When it comes to catering certain events, it’s important that the menu complements, to some extent, the nature of the function. For more formal events, a seated three course meal might be the best option. But for events that are possibly a little less formal, where the guests are encouraged to mingle and socialise, gourmet finger food catering is a widely popular choice.
Our tailored finger food menus are perfect for an informal entrée or as a replacement to a main course meal.
Our hot and cold selections can be matched to the season where you may prefer a majority of hot items in winter or cold items in summer.
Our vast choices cater for all guests’ tastes and requirements in particular gluten free, vegan and specific allergies to nuts
Our tasty food is handmade using the freshest available produce from local suppliers & we love to use unique flavours, spices and micro herbs
The finger food style event is just as well suited to a casual 18th birthday or a more formal occasion being a VIP product launch or black tie wedding reception
Our affordable finger food catering service includes a chef to cook and plate up on site and you have the option to provide your own wait staff helpers or you can engage our charming and professional staff to serve your guests. Our waiters will circulate the platters to your guests introducing each item with charm and grace explaining the items and sauces. Allow us to create your next event and make it an occasion to remember.
