Speciality
Oyster Kings and Queens The Oyster Kings and Queens are teams of debonair young guys and girls who are quick on the draw as they shuck, garnish and serve fresh West Coast oysters. Dressed in their leather attire, they’re equipped with tools, oysters and condiments for hors d’oeuvres that will set the tone for a truly inspirational event. These kings and queens are also well versed in oyster trivia, to further that interactive experience you have created. While they chatter, your guests are invited to top their oyster with Tabasco, a squeeze of lemon juice, or a crack of black pepper as they enjoy the taste of the sea without missing a beat in conversation. Caviar Queens The Caviar Queens will float through the crowd, serving up spoonfuls of glassy caviar directly on to the gentle curve between the index finger and thumb, which then pops on the tongue rather seductively. Alternatively, the Caviar Queens could serve the coy little sea jewels on blinis with crème fraiche – a treat for anyone. Sushi Queens The Sushi Queens are chosen for their geisha-like qualities, accented with sharp wit and vast knowledge about these canapés. They will arrive equipped with all the condiments and knowledge needed to whip up a hand roll or present maki rolls before your very eyes. Training to be a sushi chef takes many years but these exquisite ladies have been given the tools and taught the tricks to be able to pull it off in style. Biltong Queens The South African culture of biltong runs deep and it is no wonder that we go around the world and share this national treasure. The Biltong Queens, in their sassy safari suits, are the perfect way to put a proudly South African stamp on your party. Ice Lolly, Macaron & Cake Pop Queens For those with a penchant for the sweeter side of life, the Ice Lolly, Macaron and Cake Pop Queens are a truly charming bevy. Holsters filled with delicate meringues sandwiched with ganache, or trays with artisan ice lollies or fanciful, decorated cake pops are carried through the room by elegant beauties. With these ladies around, you’re definitely letting your guests have their cake and eat it too. Fortune Cookie Girls The Fortune Cookie Girls have outstanding personalities and will communicate with your clients in a fun and interactive way while giving them the chance to take a bite out of their fortune. The slip inside the cookie can contain numerous messages. Design the messages in a way that suits your brand. It’s an innovative way to communicate your core messages and brand values. Why not create a social media buzz around your event? The messages can contain wishes, logos, slogans, lucky draw numbers, prizes or internet links. Bubbly Queens Bubbly is every socialite’s best friend. There’s something quite magnificent about watching the streams of bubbles swirl in a long-stemmed glass. Presenting your guests with a baseless champagne glass is sure to spark a conversation topic and take them out of their comfort zone for the evening. With the ever-elegant Bubbly Queens keeping your guests’ eyes and glasses sparkling, every night is a red-carpet affair. "Challenge Us!"
