Finger Sandwiches

Finger sandwiches are fun, delicious, neat on a table setting and are suitable for many occasions. They’re a great flavoursome snack that will add a variety of flavour to your table and will sit perfectly next to scones, mini muffins, or smoked salmon pikelets. 

Scones Served with Jam & Cream

Our delicious homemade scones are baked fresh daily and served with jam & freshly whipped cream. They're a perfect treat for a high-tea setting and can be served alongside a few petite finger food options such as our favourite smoked salmon pikelets or even finger sandwiches.

Smoked Salmon Pikelets with Cream Cheese, Capers & Dill

By adding Smoked salmon pikelets to your table setting, you're mixing up with a delicate, hand-constructed, delicious canape to bring some finger food into the mix. 

Homemade Lemon Almond & Mud Cakes

Our homemade mini mud cakes & lemon & almond cakes are a delicious way to plate up some sweet options for your guests. Better yet, they’re gluten free and filled with flavour that can also cater to a number of dietaries.

Friands & Mini Muffins

Friands and mini muffins are always a favourite! Baked fresh each day, our muffins always taste amazing and with our range of friands, guests that will require a gluten free option are sure to be satisfied. 

Slices & Tarts

Sometimes there’s no alternative for a few sweet treats. PEN Catering’s gluten free brownies and our range of mini tarts including lemon meringue and mixed fruit are always a fan favourite.
