Finger food means food eaten standing up, with your fingers or a small fork, without tables. It is the right format for openings, presentations, wedding drinks receptions, house parties with little space and conference breaks. But good finger food is harder than it looks: it has to stay looking good for hours, not drip, and come in one-bite portions.
Ask the caterer for real photos of their finger food, not stock images, and for a menu with the weight or number of pieces per person. Look at the variety: cold and hot, savoury and sweet, some vegetarian options. If there are guests with special diets, their pieces should be served separately and labelled.
The price depends on the number of pieces per person, the complexity (a canapé costs less than a single portion of raw fish), whether there are hot dishes, and the service. Finger food delivered on trays costs less than finger food served by waiters circulating among the guests. Always ask how many pieces are included: comparing two per-person quotes without this figure makes no sense. Read the guide how much catering costs in Rome.
The right quantity depends on the time and duration. Welcome finger food before a dinner needs only a few pieces; finger food at lunch or dinner time has to replace the meal, so you need many more, with something hot and a dessert. Tell the caterer when the event starts and how long it lasts, and ask for their proposal. For a full evening format, see also the catered apericena.
For an outdoor or long event, ask the caterer to serve the pieces in waves rather than all at once: they stay fresher, the buffet looks better and less goes to waste. Keep a few trays aside for latecomers, too, and ask whether leftovers can be left with you or donated.
Have the number of pieces, the types, the delivery time and whether service is from trays or a buffet put in writing. Ask whether trays, napkins and small plates are included, whether there is a collection charge and how they label allergens. Then request up to 3 quotes.
It depends on the time and duration: a welcome before dinner needs few, finger food that replaces a meal needs many more. Ask the caterer for their proposal for your duration.
The price depends on pieces per person, complexity and service. Only compare quotes with the same number of pieces.
Yes, especially for the welcome drinks or a standing reception. For a full wedding lunch it is usually paired with a served menu.
Many caterers make vegan or gluten-free pieces. Ask for them to be served separately and labelled, especially for guests with coeliac disease.
Usually yes: it arrives on trays ready to serve. Some hot pieces are reheated on site, so ask whether a power socket is needed.
