Canapes parties

Canapes parties are now one of the fastest growing sectors of the of the events market throughout London, Surrey and the South East. They are widely used by companys to entertain business guests as the food is light, small and easy to eat. However, private parties are increasingly using canapes also.

There are many suppliers available on the net to service this growing need but one should be careful when selecting a company as prices vary enormously. Equally, some companys will want to send in their own waiting staff and chefs. This of course all adds to the overall cost.

It is often better to source an event management services company to help select and buy the canapes then manage the whole event from start to finish. This company will also bring in selected alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks plus their own waiting staff at a much more cost effective price. Moreover, this luxury also allows the host to enjoy the event or party themselves without feeling responsible for managing it or tidying up as the evening progresses.

There is a large variety of canapes to choose from and plenty of choice for vegetarians. There are selections ranging from low cost one bite canapes to the super executive three bite pieces. Plates and napkins are recommended but cutlery is not normally necessary. When plating up the food it is advisable to use sterile latex gloves for hygiene purposes and large aluminium platters with doyleys to add to the overall appeal. The waiting staff are advise to clear up as they go and serve drinks as required. It is important to keep the food coming and to re-plate remaining canapes as the platter becomes empty.

It the event is corporate can also be an advantage to have some event decorations such as balloons printed with company logo along with a band or disco as this adds to appeal of the canapes.
