    Smith’s canapés menus vary widely in requirements and therefore cost. Delivery, equipment hire for hot canapés or corporate event canapés (incl. service equipment, cocktail/drinks tables, glassware, linens, marquees, etc.), staff, and other extras are quoted by event.

    50% deposit (for non account clients) 7 working days before the event and balance payable within 30 days is required.
