Whoa, you're on fire!
We love your enthusiasm, but that's a lot of enquiries sent today which means a lot of responses coming your way...
Don't worry, you've done nothing wrong but just so that you don't get overwhelmed with suppliers contacting you over the next few days, we limit the number of enquiries you can make per day.
Victorian Golden Roast
Annelise,
Good question, the answer depends on what sort of catering (overall) that you're planning, and what time the food will be served. If the canapes are the only food you're planning on serving, then you'll need to serve more. Again, this depends on the time of service; if you're serving at say, 3pm then you don't need to serve a 'full meal' as guests will assume they will need to have a meal later on. In this case, you can serve only perhaps 3 -5 portions per guest.
If you're serving at say, 7pm, then guests are going to treat it as a meal, and you're going to have to serve more; 8 - 10 portions per guest. If you're serving at 7pm but planning to also serve a meal, then you only need 2 - 3 portions per guest. Hope this helps!
