Ready to order finger buffets?

Read on for our guidance on the ordering process – everything from choosing a menu to pricing, delivery, and collection.

Who orders finger buffet catering?

Finger buffet catering orders come in from all over London and Kent. We deal with corporate events managers, PR agencies, large private events and institutions, and smaller companies. 

Our “bread and butter” clients are corporate and large events. But we also deal with private individuals and party planners. Finger buffet catering is popular, with opening days and more. 

What kind of events do we cater for?

Given its flexibility, finger buffet catering is great for all kinds of events. It’s just as well suited to an all-day corporate event or conference as it is to an evening reception. We also frequently cater open days (e.g. universities), exhibitions, product launches, and so on. 

Many organisations love the ease of finger buffet catering for meetings and training days too. Alternatively, it’s a good everyday working lunch option.

At the other end of the spectrum, we supply finger buffet catering for parties both large and small. From laid-back summer boat parties to formal wedding receptions, we do it all.

Convenience

  • Freshly made and ready to serve, all you need to enjoy our finger buffet catering is a plate and a serviette. Both are supplied, of course, along with anything else you need.

Experience

  • The sheer variety of past clients – and therefore venues, event types, etc. – has allowed us to hone our craft. Nowadays, this experience is why we’re sought out – especially for larger events.

Ease

  • In the corporate catering sector, ease is of the utmost importance. That’s why we’ve streamlined our ordering process. It’s now entirely online

What kind of finger buffet do we offer?

A mix of cooked buffet items and usually sandwiches (one sandwich per person as standar

All our menus are fresh on the day and delivered “dressed out.” In other words, they’re presented ready to serve. 

Named in honour of London’s great markets, each showcases the finest produce the city has to offer. We only work with suppliers who share our high standards. 

But while each menu (and pricing tier) is balanced to maximise value, you’re free to mix and match your own. Just let us know and we’ll price it up for you.

How do you order?

Once you’re happy with your menu selections, you can place your order online. Just let us know any special dietary requirements, as allergens aren’t always clear from the menus.

The ordering process is simple:

  1. Make sure you’ve reached the minimum order of 40 people 
  2. Pay a 50% deposit seven working days before your event – unless you have an account with us. (The balance is then payable in the next 30 days.)
  3. Give us your final guest count by noon two working days in advance.

Other things to consider

That’s pretty much it for standard finger buffet catering. Depending on your needs, though, you may also want to think about the following.

Where do we deliver finger  food?

We deliver to venues throughout South London (plus Southeast/west) and Greater London, including Surrey and Kent.

The fee, calculated by postcode, must be finalised by 12 noon three working days before the event. If your needs change after this time, we’ll increase the fee to match – but it cannot be lowered.

As standard, your menu selections will arrive on disposable black platters ready to serve. If hiring crockery from us (or other extras/equipment), there’ll be a collection charge as well as the delivery charge. This is also calculated by postcode.
