SANDWICH/FINGER BUFFET MENUS


Cold buffets are the most versatile of all types of catering, enabling flexible eating times and can be prepared in advance to enable a great balance for a variety of food. I can cater for many numbers in this style and have put a selection of menus below. I have also put some Tapas style menus below which are great sharing dishes, working great for buffets.

"The food was delicious and you received lots of compliments. Particular hits were the sandwiches and wraps which were completely demolished along with the home made sausage rolls and quiche. We would be happy to recommend you to other friends and family"
Lisa Hickman, Hampshire.

  1. Crispy duck rolls, sweet chilli sauce sounds delightful. Smoked salmon cream cheese, rocket and spinach wraps too is a flavoursome combination.

    Great photos Gary - I don't know if you're willing to share who does your food photography?

    Thanks.

    David.

    1. Hi David,

      Thank you for your comments. I take all the food photos myself> I purchased a great Nikon and took lessons with Julian Porter in Southampton.
