When catering an event it sometimes becomes an oversight to think about desserts. However, this course of the meal is just as important to consider. Some may even argue it is even more important as it’s the last piece of the pie (notice the dessert pun) that will be enjoyed during the event. It’s the final touch to sweeten your event as it is the final course that guests will remember - the icing on the cake (yes, another dessert pun).

Grazing tables have become a popular wedding and party catering staple over the last few years. They don’t appear to be going out of fashion any time soon - and it’s easy to understand why! Grazing table catering offers an assortment of fresh and tasty offerings including cheese, charcuterie, breads, dips and other nibbles. They are the perfect solution for a large casual party environment and encourage guests to mingle and nibble together. 

Canapés used to be associated with cocktail style parties. However, in recent years, serving finger food has become an increasingly popular option for catering corporate events, private parties and are a very popular option for wedding food. And it’s easy to see why! Finger food provides a more diversified selection of food during the celebration than a traditional sit-down meal. Ultimately leaving those attending with a flavour smorgasbord while also providing a range of choice capable of covering all dietary requirements. 

An often asked question when catering an event with finger food is “How many canapés will we need per person?” Ultimately, this depends on a range of factors relating to the event itself - such as the time of day the event will be held; the type of party you are hosting; and if any other food will be provided throughout the event.

A great way to know how many canapés to select for your event is to think about when the food will be served. This guide should offer a clear starting point for how many items to select per person when catering with canapés.
