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.
