What’s On the Cocktail Menu?

Our cocktail bites are crafted to be flavourful, compact, and event-ready. Each item is portioned to be picked up, popped, or enjoyed in just a few bites.

You’ll find:

  • Cold canapés like smoked salmon roulades, tomato-basil crostini, or cheese balls
  • Warm savouries such as mini sliders, truffle mushroom tarts, or satay skewers
  • Petite sweets like matcha cakes, chocolate domes, and fruit tarts
  • Beverage pairings or bar setups upon request

Everything is curated for movement—guests can hold a plate, chat with a drink, and never break the flow.

When Is Cocktail Catering the Right Fit?

This catering style is ideal when your event:

  • Doesn’t have full seating
  • Includes walking tours or exhibits
  • Involves speeches or live entertainment
  • Focuses on networking or social interaction
  • Requires a light, elegant menu between meals

From press launches to VIP meet-and-greets, cocktail menus make your event feel polished, modern, and elevated.
