Hot and Cold Hors d'oeuvres Everyone loves a party. At Pepper Moon Catering, we realize the importance of providing new and interesting hot and cold hors d'oeuvres. Our Executive Chef has come up with many new, unique items to accompany our classic ones. The items listed are our most popular selections. If there is something that you would like our Chef to prepare exclusively for you, do not hesitate to ask. We will be happy to do whatever it takes to make your party or reception a success. We have not listed any prices for the hors d'oeuvres. Because the price is dependent upon the number of people you will have at your function, the combination of selections that you choose and the time of day of your event, it is very difficult to list a standard price. We suggest that you make a list of the items that interest you and we will put together a price per person based upon that list. If you are not satisfied with the price we will either add, remove or replace items from your original list. Or, if you prefer, you may tell us the amount of money you are willing to spend per person and we will customize a menu for you. The items marked with an asterisk (**) denote a passed hors d'oeuvre. These items can be served on a platter on your buffet OR circulated through the crowd on a tray carried by a member of our Banquet Staff. There is no service charge for non-staffed functions. Any staffed functions are subject to labor charges and 15% service charge. All functions are subject to 6.75% N.C. State Sales Tax.
