Our Small Bites & canapés
Modern Roots offers a convenient solution for drop off & delivery of premium canapés for your event. Whether you're hosting an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, our delicious canapés offer a sophisticated and effortless way to enhance your occasion.

our definition:

canapé - a small, decorative and savory hors d'oeuvre, designed to be eaten in one or two bites often held by hand at cocktail parties or receptions.

small bite - designed to be consumed in two or three bites rather than a single bite, they are commonly served as appetizers.

How it works

Step One

Select your canapés

Choose from hot, cold, savory or sweet canapés to small bites or our popular Boxed Bundles. We also cater for gluten free, vegan and veggie options alongside other allergens and intolerances.

Step Two

Schedule your delivery

Select your delivery window and our team will deliver to your door. Your canapés will arrive in our custom designed recyclable transport trays, reliable, on time and ready to serve. (reheat needed for hot items)

Step Three

Serve

When you are ready simply remove from the box, place on your platters and serve. All packaging is recyclable. An exquisite, beautifully designed canapé catering and delivery service. Bringing people together through food, flavor and a touch of elegance.

(if you are not serving straight away, refrigerate any fish, creme fraiche, mini flowered and micro green items to prevent spoilage and/or wilting)

Re-Heat

some items may require heating and assembly, items will state if reheating and assembly are required. We have many items so if you do not have someone to manage food, (warming and cleaning up) you should stay away from re-heat items to enjoy your event. All items will have reheat instructions where applicable, we always like to say, reheating our appetizer style foods go "slow and low" low temp a little longer, helps make food crispy, not greasy and cheese wont ooze out.
