3. Table At 7
Catering menu can be viewed here. Contact them here.
Table At 7 is by no means cheap, but they do have top quality food that will definitely impress your guests. Make no mistake here – this is no mass catering joint with bee hoon carelessly tossed into a plastic tray. Table At 7 is tai tai-worthy, yo.
Whether you choose the canape or buffet menu, you can be sure that you’ll get the good stuff at Table At 7. Think Duck Liver Pate on Crostini (sounds fancy already, doesn’t it), Seafood Paella and Sticky Date Pudding with Whiskey Butterscotch Sauce. Oh, and if you’re planning a Christmas party, we hear they do a mean Roast Beef too.
Best for: Impressing your guests.

4. The Connoisseur Concerto (TCC)
Catering information available here. Catering menus can be viewed here. Contact them here.
With its many branches all over Singapore and wide menu selection, it’s no wonder that TCC is a familiar favourite. The catering menu includes party platters (both sweet and savoury canapes included), as well as buffet and sit-down packages.
If you’re having a smaller or more intimate gathering (tea party anyone?), order some of their party platters which come in trays of 20 or 24 canapes (instead of a per pax charge). You can also opt to pick up the party platters at any of their outlets to save on the delivery fee.
Prices start from $35 per platter of canapes.
Best for: Party nibbles, and quick and easy pick-ups.
5. House of Catering
Menus can be viewed here. Contact them here.
At only $9.80 per person for the basic buffet menu, House of Catering is a good option for those who are on a tight budget. While the menu is not very extensive or innovative (think simple dishes like fried rice and spaghetti), the prices are definitely not something to complain about.
Best for: Tight budgets.
