At Catered by Matt, we don’t settle for average. Our Northern Beaches finger food catering is part of our premium Sydney catering offering. Impressive menus, effortless service, and food your guests won’t stop talking about.

“We hired Matt and his team for a joint 50th for 80 friends at our home in the Northern Beaches and he’s a rare find. From the first phone call to picking up the glasses the day after, the team were professional, flexible, and full of good ideas. Everyone LOVED the food and cocktails, the kitchen was left spotless, and we’ll absolutely use them again.”
“Living in Manly, we wanted to use a local caterer for our first canapé event and Catered by Matt over-delivered. Insanely fast responses, really helpful planning, and the team on the night put on a show that my friends loved.”
“I have attended three Catered by Matt events in the Northern Beaches. The whole team brings a bespoke approach from friendly wait and bar staff to delicious canapés like the Peking duck. Highly recommend for any corporate or personal event.”
Canapés offer a stylish, social way to enjoy delicious food without the formality of a sit-down meal. Perfect for cocktail parties, corporate events, and private celebrations, gourmet canapés are easy to serve, encourage conversation, and deliver bold flavours in miniature form. They’re a favourite for hosts who want to impress with a creative, customised menu that reflects the style of their event.
Canapés can be offered in two ways: by roaming waitstaff or set out as elegant grazing platters. Our professional staff can circulate among your guests, offering warm, beautifully presented canapés, or we can create a styled finger food grazing station. We’ll help you decide what best suits your event flow and style.
Absolutely. Our canapé catering menu is fully customisable.

Canapés are perfect for a wide range of occasions, cocktail parties, milestone birthdays, weddings, business launches, and even corporate dinners. From intimate private gatherings to large-scale business functions, we create memorable experiences for Sydney clients who want exceptional food and flawless service.
