Canapé Catering in Sydney

Canapé Packages

Looking for canapé catering in Sydney that gets people talking for the right reasons? The Sydney Catering Co creates elegant, generous canapé menus for corporate events, launch parties, cocktail functions and weddings right across Sydney. Every menu is seasonal, built around modern global flavours, and led by our founder Rob Bellamy — a chef with more than twenty years' experience, from super yachts to private villas across the Mediterranean, cooking for guests who expect nothing but the best. That experience shows in every tray: refined, restaurant-quality canapés, served with the kind of care your guests will remember.

Serving canapés right across Sydney

We're based on the Northern Beaches and cater right across Sydney — the CBD, North Shore, Eastern Suburbs, Inner West and beyond. Being local to the Northern Beaches means we know the venues, the private homes and the corporate spaces in the area well, and we're set up to deliver seamlessly wherever your event is happening.

Canapé catering for every kind of Sydney event

Corporate events and launch parties are what we do best — product launches, office celebrations, networking evenings and end-of-year functions where the food needs to impress clients and reflect well on the brand. We also cater cocktail parties and private celebrations, from milestone birthdays to engagements, plus pre-dinner or full cocktail-style canapé service for weddings. Whether it's fifteen guests or three hundred, we scale the menu and service to match, without losing the quality that makes people ask who did the food.

Dietary options for everyone at the table

Every canapé menu can include vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options throughout, not as an afterthought tacked on at the end. Tell us what your guests need and we'll make sure nobody's left in the corner with nothing to eat.

Frequently asked questions

How many canapés do I need per person?

It depends on your event and how long it's running — which is why our packages step up in size:

Package 1 — six canapés per person. Perfect for a pre-dinner reception or corporate function, served alongside drinks.

Package 2 — six canapés plus a substantial. A little heartier, ideal for longer events.

Package 3 — six canapés, a substantial and a signature bowl (essentially a full meal). Great when the canapés are standing in for dinner.

Package 4 — everything in Package 3, plus a dessert canapé to finish on a sweet note.
