Finger Food

Appresso has created a selection of fingerfood to cater for all your requirements, whether you are holding a private cocktail party, corporate event or an elegant wedding.

Our latest list of tempting canapes. Some of these items require a chef to be on site to prepare them. Others can be dropped off already assembled, but we do insist on adequate refrigeration to keep them in perfect condition. All of these canapes have a minimum order of at least 12, others slightly more, so please contact us if your order is a small one.
