Plan Your Party

Perfect crowd-pleasers for your party

Every party starts with your vision. Let us know who's celebrating, how many guests are attending and where it's happening (at home or at a venue), and we'll build a menu to suit you and your guests. And if you have an ambitious idea for a dish we haven't made before, we'd love to try it.

Finger food & canapés

Finger food & canapés

Perfect for cocktail style birthdays, engagements and going-away parties. Mix crowd-pleasers like Homemade Sausage Rolls and Sliders with something special, such as Lobster & Prawn Brioche.

Seated dinners

Seated dinners

For the parties that go into the night with speeches and a toast. Home-cooked mains and seasonal salads, from Syrian Chicken to Ancient Grain Salad, with our team on hand to serve if you'd like.

High tea

High tea

A lovely way to mark baby showers, hens parties and birthdays. Plenty to share, and a little bit fancy. Treat yourselves with light savoury pastries and sweet treats that pair perfectly with a cup of tea or glass of champagne.

Grazing tables

Grazing tables

A generous spread guests can keep coming back to, perfect for backyard gatherings and relaxed afternoons. These are made to order, so let us know what you have in mind and we'll build one around your party.

Testimonials

"I celebrated my 21st Birthday with Avoca and was thoroughly impressed. They offered complete freedom, allowing me to customise the finger food to my liking, and Denise's expert guidance ensured we had ample to satisfy everyone. My guests couldn't stop praising the delicious food. Highly recommend!"
