Make sure you stay cool this Summer at your Summer party by choosing refreshing canapes and fingerfood for your guests.

In the Summe, flakey pastries dishes don't always go down so easily, so why not keep to deliciously mouth-watering finger food choices such as our cool watermelon with Greek feta, basil and a balsamic glaze.  Kept in the fridge before hand, when you bring out this tasty bite it will instantly re-invigorate the senses far more than a sausage roll or mini pizza.

Other great bites to provide for a summer party are mixed fruit skewers.  The cool and crunch fruit and the mix of colours always makes for an aesthetically presented canape and at the same time, refreshing and cool too.

Our London sushi catering for parties is one of Con Gusto Catering's best sellers.  Our team of Japanese Sushi Masters means that our sushi is created meticulously by hand and bespoke for every single party of event.

Sushi is currently London's top pick when it comes to international cuisine, and it doesn't stop with dining out as many love experiencing it within their own home.  Whether as part of a Japanese sit-down dinner or through sushi catering itself, our expert team of chefs can delight you with authentic Japanese cuisine in London.

We create all our menus bespoke for every client, so if there is a particular fish which you love to eat or one you'd rather not just let us know and we will create a sushi menu  based around your tastes and preferences.

Using only the freshest of ingredients, our sushi is assured to astound you and your guests.  In fact, our fish is fresh each  day from Billingsgate Market, which has the widest selection of fresh fish which you can find anywhere in the world.  This is why you can find more exotic sushi selections with us, for example snow crab and a selection of unusual tobiko.

Our clients' most loved sushi that we provide is salmon gravadlax with salmon and avocado, topped with wasabi cream and tobiko.  It's a way of turning a much loved classic into an exciting new dish through the staining of the Scottish salmon red and  purple through beetroot marinading.  The wasabi cream on the top is an innovative way of eating wasabi with fresh sushi and is more subtle to the taste buds.  The delicate black tobiko is the perfect finishing touch which adds that little extra something.

So if you are  looking for corporate sushi lunch catering or if you are holding a sushi party to delight and entertain your friends, why not have a little chat with us to discuss menu options.

Italian cuisine is truly Mediterranean, healthy, fresh and based around herbs, fresh vegetables and of  course fish.  Italian cuisine is the perfect all-round cuisine when serving guests as it suits most appetites and tastes as well as delighting the  taste-buds.

Our team of Italian chefs have trained throughout Italy, including the different regions in order to learn more about the  heart and history of Italian cuisine.

Summer is finally here and it is the period of parties, wining and dining and of course garden parties.  Everybody enjoys attending these events, but behind all of those glorious parties, there is the host who organizes it all!

The Con Gusto Team has helped organised many events in our time, so we thought we would put together a little  'top tips' list for being the perfect party host, as it isn't always easy knowing where to start!

Tip One - Number of guests
Getting the number of guests right is crucial.  This is for two reasons.  Firstly regarding event space.  You want the room full but not crowded.  If you have just a few, select guests coming, choose a space with is smaller and  more secluded so it doesn't feel sparse.  Secondly,  the number of guests changes the number of seats / glasses / canapes that you need too!  Try and get an RSVP at least a week before the event so you can finalise these numbers

Tip Two - Music
Music adds ambiance to the event, where it is background music or a live singer, it adds an extra touch to a party which makes it more enjoyable.

Tip Three - Drinks
A drinks reception is a requisite.  Be it alcoholic or non alcoholic, to be the perfect host you should always have a drink on hand to satiate the thirst of your guests.

Tip Four - Food 
Food is the finishing touch for a party.  From finger food to a sit-down meal, it is the talking point and makes for happy guests.  We believe that no party should be without at least some canapes! Why not indulge yourself in some of our menus for some ideas!

Tip Five - Circulate
To be the perfect host it is important that you circulate and talk to ever guest.  Try not to spend the whole event speaking to just one group or one person - you have invited the people close to you so dedicate time to make them all feel welcome
