Bowl food has been strongly influenced by Spanish tapas and Greek meze but also lends itself to cuisine from throughout the world.

It consists of miniaturised classic dishes served in small rice bowls at drinks parties in place of a buffet. Bowl food does not replace canapes but the difference is that you feel you have eaten a substantial meal. This style of catering offers an informal alternative.

It is the ideal for meetings where time or space restrict the serving of a more formal meal and where you desire an exciting alternative to sandwiches. It is also a must for parties where the guests will be staying for several hours.
