Over the past few months, we have had a massive increase in canapé events. We are catering an average of 5 canapé events every single week. Until now, we have not offered any tastings to allow our potential clients to try our canapés before booking an event. This wasn’t something that ever occurred to me (Matt) that we should offer. But, after, a lovely client (Hellen) got talking to me at an event and mentioned it would have made the booking process a lot more comfortable for her if we had offered a tasting first. I sat down with my team and we found a way to make it happen.
The challenges we faced when creating this service were endless:
- We don’t have the space to offer 20 guests canapés all at the same time.
- How do we make it personable with 20+ guests?
- Do we have enough availability to offer this every week?
- How much should we charge for this service?
- Which staff would be the ones doing the tastings?
However, we found answers and made a service that is not only accessible, personable, and easy to enjoy but also completely FREE.
So, I have some exciting news!
We are now offering a fortnightly canapé tasting at our HQ in Manly Vale. This canapé tasting will be free, and available to anyone who is considering booking an upcoming event with us. The tastings will be held inside our kitchen and will accommodate six guests per tasting. The duration of the tasting will be 60 minutes, and we will offer 3, one-hour tastings every second Sunday.
Upcoming tastings:
23rd of February
9th of March
(Exact time slots are made available upon enquiry).
At our tastings, you will:
• Receive 5-6 of our most popular canapés
• Watch each canapé be prepared and served by Chef Matt
• Be able to ask Chef Matt any questions about your upcoming events
• Receive a physical copy of our menus for reference
• Be able to see where and how our canapés are created
Menu for the first two canapé tastings:
• Pork and chives dumplings, sweet chilli, soy sauce
• Peking duck, cucumber, parsley, plum sauce
• Arancini, portobello mushroom, pesto aioli
• Pork sausage rolls, served with tomato sauce

If you are interested in attending an upcoming tasting, just pop an enquiry in, and I will give you a call to discuss your upcoming event and help you begin planning by creating a quote. I will also get you booked in for your tasting.
I am incredibly excited to offer this to our guests and hope to see you at an upcoming tasting.
