Classic and modern canapés with staff to serve to enhance your event, both sociable and stylish. 

Sometimes though canapés are too small and finger food too predictable. We‘ve noticed a need for something less formal and a little more sociable.
aperitivos are the Italian answer to early evening nibbles - something to go with prosecco or a cold beer. We‘ll serve these like canapés.
we‘ve mixed them with a smörgåsbord menu (please contact us for details), served buffet style, for guests with an appetite!
