A Guide to Cocktail Party Catering | Melbourne Finger Food Catering

by Ecco Catering Premier Catering Services Melbourne | Ecco Caterin

We frequently chat with event planners who want a more informal cocktail party/stand-up, finger-food typestyle for their event but are concerned about ordering enough food to keep their attendees pleased.


The sort of finger foods you need to arrange for will depend on the type of party you are catering for. You will not have the same menu for a child’s party as you would for Healthy Food Catering, so keep this in mind when communicating with your clients. Let us offer some party food catering suggestions to help you organize a great event.

As a r
eference, we have compiled some brief suggestions on how much food is ideal in cocktail party catering and the requirements to guarantee your party attendees depart fully and satisfied.
  • A 2-hour cocktail party

The amount of finger food offered during a 2-hour cocktail party is also determined by the time of day. This is a crucial consideration since, for example, if your guests are coming right from work at 6.30 or 7.00pm start, they will undoubtedly be hungry!


On the other hand, if you’re throwing a cocktail party shortly before dinner, you should carefully consider your catering options. For a 2-hour cocktail party, we recommend at least 6 to 8 pieces of finger food (including hot and cold canapés).

We recommend ‘heavier’ or more substantial finger snack options for supper hour cocktail gatherings (including pies, tarts and sandwiches).

  • A 3-Hour Cocktail Party

We propose adding extra finger food items and maybe one or two bowl food dishes for a 3-hour cocktail party. More substantial foods, sometimes known as ‘bowl food,’ are tiny, hand-held versions of main dinners such as spaghetti, salads, and the ever-popular fish and chips. Bread products like pork sliders or tiny Turkish schnitzel buns are also excellent ‘more substantial’ options to provide.

  • A Cocktail Party for 4 or 5 HoursThe more finger food items you will need, the longer the duration of your gathering. For lengthier cocktail parties — 4 to 5 hours — start with a range of hot and cold canapés, followed by various hand-held substantial meals. It’s also ideal to think of sweet finger foods as dessert. Our Street Food Stands are a great complement to your finger food menu for lengthier cocktail parties and bring color, joy, and taste to all types of special occasions.


If you want to start a successful catering business, you may organize the ideal setting for cocktail catering, bowl food catering, or Finger Food Catering Melbourne.
