Bowl Food

All about Bowl Food

More substantial than a canape, bowl food is served in miniature or hand sized bowls where food can be eaten with a fork. Bowl food allows guests to stay standing and mingle whilst they are eating, perfect for a more informal wedding or function as there is no need for designated seating.

Bowl food gives your guests the opportunity to try lots of different dishes, which can be served hot or cold or (most often) a combination of both. And best of all, with so much variety, there will be something for everyone to eat and enjoy!

Below are a few suggestions of different types of bowl food to whet your appetite. If you like the idea of an event with Bowl Food, please give us a call on 01488 638269 or fill out the form below and we will be in touch.

"Just a very quick line on our new posh paper to say thank you so much for everything on 16th Sept. Your wonderful contribution (and cooking!) helped make our wedding the most fabulous day of our lives. We couldn't have asked for more. We have recommended you to a couple of friends who are getting married, so really hope to see you soon."
Brigit & Jon, London

"Foxes Catering is a very personal style of catering in your own home, you never ever feel "you have tasted it before". Guests who may have experienced "Nick and Karen" before are only too delighted to meet Nick and taste Karen's wonderful food again..."

Louise & Nick, Reading

"Just to say a big thank-you for all you did to make my birthday the memorable occasion it was. I realise how much preparation went in to the delicious meal. Feasts like that don't just happen. We have had some super letters from friends all saying how much they enjoyed the magnificent food. We are sooooo grateful."
Pamela & Martin, Kidlington

"...Four months after the wedding we still have people talking about the food that was served at our wedding breakfast! We'd both thoroughly recommend Foxes Catering to anybody that is considering doing something a little different with their wedding reception - you're in safe hands and won't regret choosing them, we're so glad we hired Foxes Catering."
Nick & Louise, Reading

"Everyone who came loved the evening, as we did. The food was totally amazing, as was the overall level of service and your attention to detail. You made 50 people in the house for dinner a wonderfully painless experience! You'll definitely be top of the list when we next need caterers, and I'm also singing your praises to anyone who I think may need caterers at some stage in the future."
Kevin, Longworth

"Thank-you so much for catering for my 70th birthday dinner party. I can think of no greater luxury than a wonderful meal cooked and beautifully served in the comfort of our own home. We really feel that you Karen excelled yourself in creating a superb menu, everything was so delicious and well balanced. All our friends have written expressing the same sentiments. You Nick, are such a good 'Maitre', even finding the time to keep the fire going in the sitting room! It was a joy to find the kitchen immaculate and all the cutlery washed up too. We shall continue, with pleasure, to recommend 'Foxes Catering' to all we meet."
Sheila, Oxfordshire
