Thai flavours work brilliantly in bite-sized form: sweet, sour, salty and a little heat in one mouthful. These trays show some of the canapés we serve at drinks receptions, launches and weddings.
About this reception
The photos show canapés laid out ready to go: green papaya salad (som tam) served in little pastry boats, mini hand-rolled vegetable spring rolls, chicken satay skewers and crispy bites finished with edible flowers. Each one is one or two bites, so guests can eat with a glass in the other hand and keep talking.
What we served
- Green papaya salad boats
- Mini vegetable spring rolls with sweet chilli
- Chicken satay with peanut sauce
- Nok's golden fish cakes
- Crispy bites with edible flowers
Served or set out
Our team can hand canapés round on trays, which keeps guests mingling and works well for receptions and launches, or we can set them out on platters for people to help themselves. Vegan and gluten-free canapés are made and labelled separately.
How many canapés do you need?
For a reception of an hour or two before a meal, allow six to eight canapés per guest. If canapés replace the meal, allow ten to twelve, ideally with some bowl food. Canapés start at £2 each, so six per guest starts at £12 per head, with a £750 minimum spend. Canapés also pair well with a Thai buffet or food stations later in the evening.

What our clients say
Every one of our 66 Google reviews is five stars. A few of them, in our clients' own words:
“They tailored their menu to us completely, adding a curry dish that is meaningful to us, and making sure the starters were vegan so all our guests could enjoy them… Most of our guests commented on how much they loved the food.”
“I booked Mihai and Nok for my mum's 60th birthday… they adapted their starters into canapés style plates for our casual dining event. Everyone was raving about the food and we didn't have any guests going hungry!”
“We had 80 guests and started off with canapés of spring rolls, satay sticks and papaya salad, followed by massaman curry, with vegan/vegetarian options for all of the above… honest about what would be a suitable amount of food.”
