Introduction
G’day Perth mates. We are the Tommy Sugo crew and we are absolutely pumped to bring our delicious range of halal finger foods to your next big event. Whether you are firing up the barbie in Cottesloe as the sun goes down or throwing a massive birthday party in Bayswater hosting friends in our sunny city should always be a blast rather than a kitchen nightmare. We know that bringing people together is what Perth is all about. It is about good vibes and sunny days and tasty food shared with your best mates. However the stress of cooking for a crowd can sometimes dampen the mood.
Our Italian inspired bites are here to change that dynamic completely. They are made with top notch West Australian ingredients and they are designed to make your life easy. From cheesy arancini balls to hearty trays of lasagne everything on our menu is halal and ready to wow your guests. We have been at this for years and we are chuffed to help make your event a total cracker. In this guide we are going to explore the 10 Best Halal Finger Foods to Spice Up Your Perth Parties and look at exactly why these bites are the secret weapon for savvy hosts across the city.
Why Halal Finger Foods Are Perfect for Perth Events
Perth is a melting pot of cultures and backgrounds which is one of the things that makes living here so special. When you are hosting an event you want everyone to feel welcome and included. That is where our halal finger foods fit right in. They are small and shareable and bursting with authentic Italian flavour all while keeping things halal. They are ideal for our diverse city whether it is a casual family get together or a massive community do.
Imagine this scenario. You are at a party in Northbridge chatting with friends as the sun dips below the horizon. The music is playing and the atmosphere is electric. The last thing you want to be doing is sweating over a hot stove in the kitchen while everyone else is having fun. Our pre made halal finger foods come ready to heat so you can spend your time chilling with guests rather than scrubbing pots. I served these at a party last summer and it was a total game changer. The ability to simply heat and serve means you get to enjoy the party just as much as your guests do.
The Top 10 Halal Finger Foods to Serve
Our menu is packed with options that get Perth crowds buzzing. We have compiled a list of the top ten items that will cover every taste preference from meat lovers to vegetarians and those who need gluten free options.
1 Spinach and 5 Cheese Arancini
These crispy balls are the ultimate crowd pleaser. They are stuffed with gooey cheese and fresh spinach which creates a melt in your mouth experience that is hard to beat. I brought a tray of these to a mate’s 40th birthday bash in Claremont and they disappeared incredibly fast. The kids were nabbing extras when their parents were not looking because they are just that tasty. These are vegetarian and halal and pure comfort food wrapped in a golden crumb.
2 Harvey Beef Arancini
Meat lovers this one is definitely for you. Our Harvey Beef Arancini is made with local and halal certified beef which ensures a rich and savoury flavour profile. The beef is slow cooked to perfection before being encased in rice and crumbed. I served these at a family do in Scarborough recently and my uncle is still talking about them weeks later. They are substantial enough to satisfy big appetites but easy enough to eat with one hand while holding a drink.
3 Jackfruit Curry Arancini
For something a little bit different you cannot go past our Jackfruit Curry Arancini. This dish mixes spicy curry flavours with the meaty texture of jackfruit. It is a brilliant option for vegetarians who want something with a bit of a kick. We took these to a work bash in East Perth and they were the big hit of the night. They are veggie friendly and halal and bold in flavour.
4 Sicilian Beef Cannelloni
If you want to offer something slightly more substantial that can still be served as a finger food portion this is the ticket. Our Sicilian Beef Cannelloni features pasta tubes filled with savoury beef. You can slice these into small rounds and sprinkle them with fresh herbs to create posh finger food bites. I tried this serving method at a mate’s party in South Perth and it felt like fine dining without the fuss.
5 Cheese and Spinach Croquettes
These are another fantastic vegetarian option that appeals to all ages. The combination of cheese and spinach is a classic for a reason. Our croquettes were a smash at a wedding in Dalkeith last year because they are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They are perfect for passing around on platters during cocktail hour or as a starter before the main meal.
6 Harvey Beef Lasagne
While typically a main meal you can easily portion our Harvey Beef Lasagne into bite sized squares for a party platter. It captures the essence of home cooking. Sarah from Applecross ordered this for a family reunion and said it tasted just like her Nonna’s cooking. That is the kind of feedback we live for. It uses the same high quality halal certified beef as our arancini ensuring consistency in taste and quality.
7 Gluten Free Gnocchi
You do not want your gluten free guests to feel left out of the fun. Our Gluten Free Gnocchi is light and fluffy and completely halal friendly. One of our team members who is coeliac serves it at every gathering she hosts and it is always a hit. You can serve these on small skewers with a dipping sauce for an easy to eat party treat that everyone can enjoy safely.
8 Lamb Spelt Ravioli
Our recipes come from a Sicilian dad in law with over 40 years of pasta making chops and the Lamb Spelt Ravioli is a testament to that heritage. While we often serve this as a plated meal you can boil these ravioli pockets and serve them as individual bites topped with a little parmesan. The spelt pasta adds a nutty flavour that pairs beautifully with the rich lamb filling.
9 Eight Vegetable Lasagne
This is the ultimate veggie powerhouse. Just like the beef version you can slice this 8 Vegetable Lasagne into small squares for easy handling. It is packed with fresh vegetables and makes ensuring your guests get their greens delicious. We served these at an event in East Perth and the vegetarian crowd could not get enough of the rich layers and fresh taste.
10 Gluten Free Penne
To round out the list we have our Gluten Free Penne. It is versatile and holds sauce beautifully. Prepare a big bowl mixed with our Napolitana sauce and provide small forks or cups for guests. It is a simple and effective way to feed a crowd that includes people with dietary restrictions without cooking separate meals.
Quality Ingredients You Can Trust
We are all about food you can trust. Everything we make is crafted with heart and the very best West Australian ingredients. We use local goodies like halal certified Harvey Beef and fresh veggies for that farm fresh taste. It is like taking a bite of a sunny Rottnest day. We believe that great food starts with great produce which is why we never cut corners on quality.
Our halal finger foods skip artificial additives entirely. We believe in no fakeness. Our Napolitana Sauce for instance is made with ripe tomatoes and fresh basil. It is all natural and full of flavour. It is honest food done right. When you serve our food to your family and friends you can be confident that they are eating something wholesome and nutritious.
Simple and Stress Free Hosting
Life in Perth is busy. Between work and trips to the beach and family commitments who has got time to cook all day? Our halal finger foods keep it simple and delicious. Dishes like our Sicilian Beef Cannelloni are pre made and frozen to lock in freshness. You just pop them in the oven and in under 30 minutes you have got a gourmet spread ready to go. I used these for a last minute dinner in Fremantle and the guests actually thought I was a professional chef.
We also make getting the food to you incredibly easy. We offer free next day delivery for orders over ninety dollars anywhere in Perth. From Nedlands to Nollamara we have got you covered. A mate of mine in Subiaco said our delivery saved his engagement party when he forgot to plan the food until the last minute. It was a total hero moment for him.
Whether you are hosting ten mates or one hundred guests our catering perth options scale up effortlessly to meet your needs. We have catered everything from cosy dinners to big blowouts. You simply let us know what you need and we handle the rest.
Fun Ways to Serve Your Spread
Our halal finger foods are versatile so you can make your Perth party stand out with unique serving ideas. One popular method is to create grazing platter vibes. Set up a spread with Spinach and 5 Cheese Arancini and place bowls of warm Napolitana Sauce for dipping alongside fresh carrots and celery sticks. We did this for a team lunch in West Perth and everyone loved the pick and choose setup. It encourages mingling and conversation.
Another great idea is to mix up the sauces. Pair our halal finger foods with different dipping options to keep things interesting. Try serving the Gluten Free Gnocchi with a Siciliana Sauce where the capers and capsicum add a zesty kick. Mixing it up keeps things fun and allows guests to customize their flavour experience.
