FAQs

How many canapes do you need per person?
For a drink's reception, plan for 4 to 6 canapes per person. If you're serving your canapes over 2 to 3 hours along with drinks, plan for 6 to 8 per person. Plan for 8 to 10 per person if you want to substitute a light lunch, and 12 to 14 per person if you want to substitute a full meal. Rather than relying on just headcount, we evaluate how much food to bring based upon the style of your event, its length, and what time it takes place, and we will advise as to exactly how many so that your guests never run out.
Can canapes replace a full meal at an event?
Yes. When properly planned and offered in sufficient quantities (usually 12-14 substantial canapes per person), canapes can be used as a substitute of a full meal. Less often, but still acceptable, 6-8 canapes per person may suffice at shorter receptions. We create menus using a combination of heavier, more filling items and lighter, fresher items so that guests will feel satisfied, yet not overly stuffed.
Do you offer vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free canapes?
Yes. Owen Brothers Catering provide vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and other dietary-conscious canapes and all our menus can be modified to meet the needs of guests who suffer from food allergies or follow specific diets. Please inform us of your guests' dietary restrictions when ordering and we'll create a well-rounded menu that meets their needs.
What types of events are canapes best suited to?
Our canapes are perfect for drinks receptions, office parties, product launches, client receptions, networking events, award dinners and corporate celebrations. Canapes are most useful at events where guests mingle and move about versus sitting at a formal table eating a meal. As such, they are great for both business and social occasions.
How far in advance do I need to order canape catering?
Minimum 48 hours prior to the date of the event, please notify us of your canapé requirements. Larger corporate events or customized menus during busy periods should be booked one to two weeks prior to confirm availability. If your event has changed timing, we can make adjustments to the services provided on the day which is typical of corporate and production-based events.
How do you keep a canape menu varied and interesting?
Each of our canape menus is built with a balance of different textures, Flavors and temperature combinations; e.g., hot/cold and/or sweet/savoury. These contrasting elements ensure that each menu is engaging from start to finish and provides variety through-out the course of the event.
Do you deliver canapes across London?
Yes. Our company delivers freshly prepared and professionally displayed canapés anywhere in the city of London for office parties, corporate events, and employee functions. Each order is carefully wrapped and delivered in readiness for presentation regardless of whether your event is large or small or located anywhere within the city.
What’s the difference between standing canapes and a plated canape collection?
Standing canapés are displayed on platters allowing guests to take whatever number they wish while mingling. On the other hand, a plated canape collection represents a carefully selected assortment arranged specifically for each guest providing a more sophisticated and elegant seating-style luxury experience.
