Selection of 6 - 8 different items should be plenty, with the following make up:
- 2x Mini Baked Treats or Mixed Platter - Muffins & Friands

CANAPE EVENT
Catering for canape events can be the trickiest, usually due to the many factors to consider. Over the years we have catered to several corporate events and we recommend getting a quote from our management team.
To provide the most accurate quote, we need to know the following information:
- Number of attendees expected
- Will alcohol be offered (we have a catering license and can offer this service)
- How long is the event planned for
- Will there be any speakers/presentations during the event
- Do you need our staff on hand to serve
