Further to my request for recommendations above I just wanted to say I used the wonderful Caroline from 'your undercover cook' and I simply cannot recommend her more highly. The food was an absolute triumph and the whole thing worked so seamlessly. She dropped off the canapés ready to go an hour before the party started and then provided two brilliantly conscientious and charming waitresses who made the whole party run smoothly. I also have to say I thought that the prices were very reasonable compared to other quotes I received and the food and service could not have been better. She also does smaller events such as dinner parties which means I may fear I may be hanging up my apron altogether!!

And a big thank you to Jill from swfitmums for the fabulous recommendation. I am definitely in need of some more of your classes after all the deliciousness!

This might be a bit late but I highly recommend Jackie Filmer http://www.jackiefilmercatering.com

She did canapés and "bowl food" for our engagement party and then went on to do our wedding! I still dream about their arancini balls

Her kitchen is based between Battersea park and Lavender Hill

We do South Eastern Asian Canapes.. check out our website www.mypopupkitchen.com

Ruth Weighhill of Forkful Food 07711 034 928 , http://www.forkfulfood.com/
is frankly brilliant.

Ruth lives on the Magdalen Estate so could not be more local. :D

Does anyone have any recommendations for a local caterer for a drinks party? Canapés etc rather than anything too complicated. Any ideas/recommendations v welcome
