In the ever-evolving landscape of event catering, one trend has been making waves across Sydney – roaming canapés. This modern approach to catering is redefining the way we think about party food, offering a blend of elegance, convenience, and social engagement.
What Is Canapé Cocktail Catering?
Canapé cocktail catering, often referred to as roaming canapés, involves serving bite-sized, gourmet dishes to guests as they socialise with friends, family and work colleagues. Instead of traditional sit-down meals, guests can enjoy a variety of delicious canapés presented on platters by waitstaff. This style encourages interaction and movement, creating a lively and engaging atmosphere.
Why Are Roaming Canapés So Popular?
The popularity of roaming canapés at an event can be attributed to several factors:
Social Atmosphere: Guests can move freely, engage in conversations, and enjoy a dynamic event experience.
Versatility: Suitable for a variety of events, from corporate functions to weddings and private parties and dinners.
Efficiency: Eliminates the need for extensive table setups and allows for smoother event flow and better use of event space.
Aesthetic Appeal: Beautifully crafted canapés add a touch of sophistication and are often Instagram-worthy.
Benefits of Canapé Catering:
Opting for canapé catering offers numerous advantages:
Minimal Equipment: Reduces the need for tables, chairs, and extensive kitchen setups.
Cost-Effective: Lower rental and setup costs compared to traditional catering methods.
Customisable Menus: Allows for a diverse range of flavours and dietary accommodations.
Enhanced Guest Experience: Creates a relaxed yet elegant environment, encouraging guests to socialise and enjoy the event.

Google Reviews From Our Clients
We have now used the CBM team for both our business’s corporate events (product launch), and our private events. Most recently, we had catered by Matt’s experienced team cater our daughter’s engagement party. We had 110 guests and they organised everything! They got equipment hire quotes for us and organised the delivery and removal of it all. They also organised the creativity project to do our bartending. The creativity project perfectly complemented the CBM team (we would highly recommend this duo for your next event). Thank you all again, it was amazing from start to finish, it was a truly memorable experience! Jennifer Sams
We hired a venue in Mosman and had roaming canapés and champagne served to all our guests for 4 hours. The team’s awareness and professionalism were nothing short of amazing. However, the biggest shout-out goes to Billie, the team’s admin. Her communication and forward thinking helped us plan an event we will never forget! Andrew R
I booked The Catered by Matt team to cater for my 50th birthday party on Saturday night. The whole process from planning to execution was easy and friendly. On the party night the staff (chef Vinny and 2 wait staff), food and service were exceptional! Everyone loved the food! I would highly recommend Matt and his team for a great catering experience. – Grethel Lockhart
