When people think of event catering, they often picture a large 150-guest wedding. Yet a good share of our requests are for much smaller gatherings — birthdays, christenings, hen parties, housewarmings — where the guest count runs into the dozens rather than the hundreds.
Our event packages work from around thirty guests upward, which is exactly the size of a family birthday or christening. You don't need a wedding to justify polished catering: the same standard of freshness and presentation applies, just at a smaller scale.
For this kind of event, a standing cocktail format is often the best fit: it lets guests move around freely, suits smaller venues (a flat, a garden, a small community hall), and needs less service staff than a seated meal. Our Cocktail Essentiel package, built for this format, already covers the essentials without over-scaling the budget.
On the menu side, smaller events are also a chance to be bolder with the cuisines on offer: for a hen party or a birthday among friends, mixing several of our cuisines (Moroccan, Armenian, Malian, French, Indian, Portuguese) in small quantities lets guests sample several styles without committing to a single menu — unlike a wedding, where family consensus often weighs more heavily on the choice.
On timing, a small event generally needs less advance notice than a wedding: 3 to 4 weeks is usually enough, versus 2 to 3 months during peak wedding season. That's a real advantage if your event comes together on short notice.
Whether your celebration brings together 30 or 300 guests, the process stays the same: tell us about your event, and we'll get back to you with a matching menu and price within 2 business days.
