Afternoon Tea Catering, UAE

Afternoon tea is a light meal in England and Europe that goes with tea between 3 pm and 5 pm. Mint, mango, apple-flavored tea — it doesn't really matter. Although traditional afternoon tea requires a selection, or at least one tea, people, of course, may prefer other beverages like coffee with cream or lemon.

So, what is the food that complements afternoon tea? These may be finger sandwiches, toast with strawberry jam, a cheese platter, bread, sweet pastries, chocolate scones, and so on. The purpose of afternoon tea is to allow for a light, refreshing break during the day. Afternoon tea catering can deliver these meals to you without you needing to interrupt for cooking.

Why Hire a Professional Catering Team

The undeniable advantages of hiring catering specialists encompass the following:

Menu flexibility

If your guests have special dietary requirements or preferences, you may struggle to find a restaurant menu that would match them. Moreover, in the case of cooking yourself, there's a risk it gets too challenging and time-consuming. For instance, if you have never cooked gluten-free meals, you're likely to make mistakes on the first try. Afternoon tea catering services are the solution to these problems.

Free choice of location

Not confined to the restaurant’s space, you can arrange a team party outdoors, in a cozy garden or picturesque park. Imagine beautiful serving ware with dainty finer foods or delicate cupcakes laid out on the masterfully served table among the trees.

Free of stress

Food caterers handle the bulk of party preparation, so you don't have to do it yourself. The essence of catering is that we make food in-house, all according to your requests, and deliver it to your venue. It may involve help with venue preparation, renting and arranging utensils, and some decorations.

Time savings

Instead of going to a grocery shop, preparing food, and serving it in a visually appealing manner, you can hire a team of specialists, allowing you to focus on the event. When it comes to large parties, such help is priceless.

Quality of food and service

We make sure that if basil and dill go into salads, they're super fresh and that our dishes have good packages that prevent loss of taste or prime appearance. We plan portions and utensils considering the guest quantity, manage logistics, and tackle scheduling.

To sum up, your afternoon tea is safe with us, as Canape takes care of essential aspects of food management and offers tailored menus for all palates.
