Why a heycater! flying buffet turns your event into an experience

The selection at heycater! includes not only amazing dishes that taste delicious, but they also look stunning. Typically, the trays arrive with finger food that caters to a wide variety of tastes thanks to its diversity. There are several courses, and if someone wants to skip a round, they can simply look forward to the next surprise.

Book delicious finger food varieties

The possibilities are incredibly vast, and it feels like the variations are endless. Just think of everything that can be served on a skewer: tomato-mozzarella skewers, salami-artichoke skewers, date-feta skewers with bacon, or sweet mini pancake skewers and more. Always a treat for the palate and often a true eye-catcher!

Flying buffet with heycater!

One thing to keep in mind with a flying buffet is that you will need service staff. These can also be booked through the heycater! ordering process. Otherwise, a flying buffet means significantly less work for the host, as it is entirely in the hands of the caterer, who ensures a constant supply of delicious bites. What makes this type of catering special is its exclusivity and elegancethat every single guest will notice. The portions are kept relatively small, giving you the opportunity to sample an entire army of delicious finger foods. There is no room for hunger pangs here! The bites are often served in small glasses, so tableware isn't strictly necessary. All in all, a flying buffet is the ideal way to taste many delicious dishes—without the hassle, the dishes, or the mess. Another great advantage is that guests can move freely around the room, constantly changing conversation partners while the food comes to them. This adds an exciting taste experience to flexibility and variety for your event.

Diverse finger food for everyone

A flying buffet can be filled with vegetarian or even vegan bites, as well as fish and meat appetizers. When it comes to finger food, there are no limits to creativity, as you can likely see from our menus. The catering partners we work with come from different countries and specialize in everything from street food and classic French cuisine to modern, elegant dishes. No matter what you have in mind for your event, you will find it at heycater! The finger food is usually served cold and always looks impeccable. We are particularly impressed that most of the dishes can be eaten without any tableware . Eating can be that simple! Savory cheese pralines, juicy puff pastry pockets with Mediterranean vegetables, and blueberry-chocolate skewers give you just a small glimpse into the infinite world of finger food. We have plenty of delightful flying buffet suggestionsfor you. Snacks in small bowls are particularly popular. How about layered salad in a glass: Mexican nacho salad with vegan cheese sauce, salad with gorgonzola, walnuts, and pear pieces, or a chicken-spinach-mango salad not only look great but are also unusually delicious and healthy. The flying bowls don't always have to be cold. Chickpea soup, potato curry cream soup, and other treats can also flutter to your guests in these transparent containers. Of course, there is also something for those who love it savory or sweet. Pulled pork in a glass followed by raspberry dream tarts in a glass. These delicious eye-catchers are sure to get people talking at your event.

Flying finger food: delicacies in miniature format

Flying finger food has proven to be particularly popular at numerous events. These small delicacies are the perfect snack for when hunger strikes and can be individually customized by our caterers. Avocado mousse with salmon, cucumber sticks on hummus with pomegranate seeds, or mini burgers with chicken, avocado, and tomato are just a tiny selection of what is possible with flying finger food. Feel free to contact us so we can find the right caterer for your flying finger food buffet!

What our customers say

Last year, I had to arrange catering for an important meeting at very short notice. I was surprised by the incredibly fast and friendly service; after a short phone call, I received several offers within a few hours. I've been using Heycater ever since! whenever I need catering. I like the control via the account the best, all adjustments and questions are answered quickly. An incredible time saver for me!

Tamara Becker
“Great Christmas party thanks to heycater: I use heycater's service! for my faculty Christmas party. Even though I had to change my offer at very short notice (add gluten-free offers, etc.), my contact person was very accommodating and friendly. Even during the pre-Christmas stress, I received nothing but friendliness, customer-oriented cooperation and respect.
Hannah Görtlitz
“Smooth ordering and delivery, great food!

Had ordered the food for a full-day workshop for 12 people (vegetarian. /vegan sandwiches, mini croissants, muffins, lunch bowls) was delicious as always and was delivered on time.

Always happy!”
Markus W.
“Everything was great, I'd love to go back!

The ordering process was super easy, the selection was delivered on time - including beautiful decorations (fresh fruit, tomatoes, herbs in pots, decorative pumpkin) - and attractively distributed on the tables. The food itself was very well received by colleagues. Each dish was labelled and there was also information about allergens.”
