Cocktail Party Menu

Cocktail Parties offer an informal and relaxed way to entertain your friends whether it be for a small
number of guests or as many as 200. A special celebratory occasion or a chance to catch-up with friends.

The cocktail party menu offers a selection of hot and cold nibbles. All the Nibbles are finger food so no hireage of crockery and cutlery is required.

Option 1
Charlotte will shop and prepare for your event.
She will cook the food in your kitchen on the day of the event and serve to your guests.
Additional staff can be provided if required for larger events.
Charlotte will clean up and leave your kitchen as she found it.

Option 2
Charlotte can shop and prepare for your event.
She can deliver your food and leave you with final preparation instructions so that you can serve your guests yourself during the event.

Waitressing staff can be supplied at $25.00 per hour
