Finger Buffet Catering in London

Relaxed food, thoughtfully made

Not every celebration calls for formal dining.

Sometimes you want guests to mingle, laugh, dance and graze at their own pace. Food that feels relaxed, yet tastes every bit as considered as a fine dining menu.

Our finger buffets are designed exactly for that balance.

Handmade, seasonal and beautifully presented, each piece is crafted to be eaten in two or three bites, with bold flavours and refined finishes. No beige platters or supermarket sausage rolls. Just proper food, thoughtfully made.

Available as delivery or fully staffed service, perfect for wedding evening food, milestone birthdays, house parties and informal corporate events across London.

Why choose a Salters finger buffet?

Relaxed style. Restaurant quality.

A Salters finger buffet isn’t a typical buffet table.

It’s a curated collection of elegant, generously flavoured dishes designed to keep guests satisfied without slowing the flow of your event. Food that looks beautiful on the table and tastes just as good an hour later.

Ideal for:

• Wedding evening receptions
• Birthday and anniversary parties
• Garden parties and celebrations at home
• Office events and networking evenings
• Product launches and informal corporate gatherings

Everything is made from scratch using seasonal British produce, then delivered or served with the same polish you’d expect from our fine dining events.

Because relaxed should never mean basic.
