Let's face it. You simply can't beat good old-fashioned British food. I'm talking the kind of dishes that warm the cockles of your heart; the soul nourishing flavours that whip up visions of cosy kitchens and buxom mothers serving up steaming plates of lip-smacking fare.

It makes a delicious - not to mention achingly hip - theme for a canape menu. Whether you're planning a chic modern wedding or a coolly retro party, the diversity of British cuisine makes for a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Think miniature versions of hearty meat and potato classics such as cottage pie and sausage and mash to 1970s' inspired favourites such as prawn cocktail and chicken kiev. On the sweet front, think moreish - and deliciously boozy - mini sherry trifles and Martini jelly.

A flavour-filled one-bite event, the canapes should serve as a tantalising showcase of the wedding breakfast and the perfect partner for post-ceremony champers. Set the tone in mouth-watering style with light appetisers that look as delectable as they taste.
