How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is served at its best. Sunset in West Wycombe is around 9:25pm in June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- First, we check availability.
- You choose canapés, table tapas or both.
- We set up on arrival.
- We serve the spread.
- Afterwards, we clear up.
How to prepare
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable

- How many guests are eating
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before booking.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and when you want to eat
