The Art of New Years Eve Finger Food

The one night where glitter is mandatory, your questionable resolutions seem totally doable, and the air is buzzing with excitement. But let’s be real- the true star of any NYE party? The food! And not just any food... we’re talking the ultimate picky bits trio: pies, pasties, and sausage rolls. (So I hope you stocked up on ours while our orders were open last week 😉)

Move over, cocktail sausages! Pies are the unsung heroes of New Year’s Eve snacking. Think about it: they’re compact, portable, and—most importantly—delicious. Whether you’re dishing up our classic Steak and Ale or taking it up a notch with a Kickin' Chicken Curry, pies offer endless variety, keeping your guests happily munching well past the midnight countdown🎉

Our pies are packed with a wide range of hearty fillings that are guaranteed to fit the tastes of the whole guestlist! Plus, they’re easy to hold in one hand, leaving the other free for that celebratory glass of bubbly🍾

 

Pro Tip: Serve a mix of savoury pies like a Chicken Leek & Bacon alongside their perfect drink pairing. Whether alcohol-free or full, this will make every bite even better! Your guests will definitely come back for seconds.

Want to impress your guests? Enter: the pasty! We have a sizable range of these hand-crimped, golden chaps to choose from that are sure to delight your party's tastebuds!

Whether it’s our award-winning Steak Pasty  or a Chunk Roast Veg one for your vegetarian or vegan pals, pasties are the ideal finger food. No forks, no knives- just pure handheld goodness. They’re practically made for mingling, and who doesn’t want a warm, comforting snack in hand as they count down to the New Year?!

 

And don’t forget: Pasties aren’t just for the meat-lovers. Treat your veggie friends to a variety of pasty options-from the Cheese and Onion, to the Ruby Murray Veggie Curry! There’s truly a pasty for every palate.

Let’s be honest, sausage rolls are the superstars of any buffet. Whether you’re sticking with our Original Chunki Pork roll or shaking things up with Pork, Apple and Scrumpy, these flaky bites are always the first to disappear from the table! They’re satisfying, easy to eat, and universally loved- basically, the MVP of finger foods.

 

Pro Tip: Pair your sausage rolls with a few crowd-pleasing dips like ketchup, sweet chili, or a tangy BBQ sauce to take them to the next level.

 Now we get why these finger foods make the ultimate party cuisine, let's talk what makes up the perfect New Years Eve bash! 

Presentation is everything, especially when it comes to a New Year’s Eve spread. Think rustic wooden boards piled high with pies, pasties, and sausage rolls, sprinkled with fresh herbs that extra fancy touch. And don’t forget the dips- garlic aioli, tomato chutney, and a zesty green salsa will make your guests feel like they’re feasting at a chic gastropub!

1) The Drinks: If your party isn't alcohol-free, then Champagne is non-negotiable. But, you also can't forget how good signature cocktails are🍹Set up a punch bowl that packs a punch (literally) or order in some pre-made cans like Mojitos or Cosmos to get the party started! Your guests will appreciate not having to play bartender.
