Canape caterers & staff for Xmas house party Post Reply

[Tigger]

Morning all,

Does anyone know a local company (or individual) that can do canapé style catering for about 60 people at a Xmas house party? We will also need two or three serving/waiting staff.

We live just off Northcote Road and would like to find someone locally that will appreciate the business rather than some huge catering company for whom we'll just be a number!!

Any helpful suggestions of who to talk to (or indeed who not to talk to!!) gratefully received...

Dear Tigger,

Funnily enough, we have just started working with a local caterer (in Tooting) who has catered for many different events including weddings, parties, etc. Also, us House Elves have organised parties and waited on people with Champagne and canapès in similar sounding jobs.

If you wanted to give us a call, we would be more than happy to talk through what you needed and offer a free, no-obligation quote. Our number is 07512 319048. Alternatively, email us at info@houseelf.co.uk and we will call you straight back.

Check out our website at www.houseelf.co.uk for a full list of services we offer.

Kindest regards

Jake.

Hi
I've used a fantastic catering company based in Wandsworth a number of times for canape, buffet and drinks parties. They're amazing and their staff are so friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. - can't recommend them highly enough! They have a website... http://www.penniblack.co.uk/ and you can get a quote online too.
Hope that helps!

Hello Tigger,

I think I might be just the person you're looking for! My name is Ruth Weighill, I'm a Leiths-trained chef and have recently started my own local catering company, Forkful Food. I live and work in Wandsworth, love doing canape parties, have lovely staff (who tend to be on-the-ball local teenagers), and would absolutely love to talk to you about your party. Do get in touch -my website (currently being built) is http://www.forkfulfood.com.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Why don't you try Gorgeous Gourmets? They are a lovely friendly company based in Wimbledon and specialise in private parties (although they do do the catering for the Affordable Arts Fair and the opera in Holland Park, but these are their only public functions). Tel 0208 944 7771 or www.gorgeousgourmets.co.uk

We recently did a party at home for 60 people. We used Foodology (07876298375)- Nicola is the chef and his wife Taryn oversees the whole thing. They were AMAZING. I simply can't recommend them highly enough. All the thank you letters we've had about the party talk about the incredible canapes and we felt the caterers really made the party. As well as Taryn, they also organised two waiting staff for us, so we didn't have to lift a finger and were able to really enjoy our party. If you want to talk to me about them, send me an email and I'll pass on all the details and chat to you about it all.

We had a party on Friday night for 55 people and asked our nanny's husband who is a professional Thai chef to do the cooking. It was wonderful Thai food and he is now keen to do more private parties. Please let me know if you would like his details.

For Wine and Champagne you could try North and South Wines on Broomwood Road, local and happy to deliver bespoke tastings on hard to find fab wine with sale and return on your drinks needs.

Not completely local, but Caper & Berry (www.caperandberry.co.uk) are fab

Hi, I know this was posted back in November, but I am a caterer and specialise in 'drop off' dishes - anything from canapes, to three course dinners to freezer fillers. I have run my own catering business for a couple of years and have many references to offer so if anyone ever needs some help with a party or dinner or just to get the freezer full, give me a call 07713 259754 or email Caroline at carolineuzielli@yahoo.co.uk. My business is called Your Undercover Cook and the website is nearly ready.
