Introduction
G’day Perth! It’s the Tommy Sugo crew here, and we’re excited to be writing this. Over the last couple of years something wild has happened: our halal finger food range has gone from a quiet little section on the website to the thing people ring us about at 8 am on a Saturday, half-asleep, begging for same-day delivery. So grab a coffee, settle in, and let us tell you the full story of how halal finger food became the best-kept secret in Western Australia.

How the Halal Finger Food Revolution Started in a Tiny Perth Kitchen
The Phone Call That Changed Everything
One Tuesday, one of our regulars, Aisha from Como, rang and said, “Tommy, my son’s turning eight and I can’t find decent halal finger food anywhere. Can you help?” We said yes before we even knew how. That single call started a two-year adventure that’s still going strong.
Months of Trial, Error and Way Too Much Tasting
We trialled suppliers, changed butchers, redesigned recipes, and ate more arancini than any human should. There were days the kitchen looked like a flour bomb had gone off and days we high-fived because the pastry finally flaked exactly right. By the time we launched, we knew every single item in the halal finger food range was something we’d happily serve our own families.
Word Spread Faster Than Free Tim Tams
First it was one suburb, then five, then suddenly we’re delivering halal finger food to Joondalup in the morning and Mandurah in the afternoon. Perth had spoken: people wanted party food that was properly halal and properly delicious, not one or the other.

Every Occasion Where Halal Finger Food Has Saved the Day in Perth
Kids’ Parties – From Chaos to Calm in One Delivery
Picture twenty screaming kids and one frazzled parent. Now picture three Tommy Sugo boxes arriving. Suddenly there’s silence except for the sound of happy munching. We’ve seen it hundreds of times from Mandurah to Fremantle.
Corporate Lunches That Make You Employee of the Month
Friday lunchtime in Perth offices used to mean sad sandwiches. Now it means boxes of steaming halal finger food and co-workers actually looking forward to meetings.
Ramadan and Eid – Less Cooking, More Family Time
We deliver hundreds of iftar platters every Ramadan. Mums tell us the best part is walking out of the kitchen at sunset instead of being stuck at the stove.
Engagements, Weddings and Big Milestone Moments
Couples planning multicultural weddings love that their halal finger food matches the quality of everything else on the table. We’ve done grazing platters for 400 guests in the Swan Valley and still had people asking for seconds.
Lazy Weeknights When Cooking Feels Impossible
Some of our favourite orders are the 6 pm panic calls: “Help, unexpected guests!” Ten minutes later the order’s in and halal finger food is on its way.
Exactly How We Keep Every Bite 100 % Halal
Certification That Actually Means Something
We’re certified by the Islamic Council of Western Australia. That means regular audits, full ingredient traceability, and inspectors who can (and do) rock up unannounced.
Separate Everything – No Shortcuts
Halal meat comes from dedicated suppliers. We have separate fridges, benches, fryers, even separate coloured boards and utensils. The non-halal team know never to cross the line – we’re stricter than your mum on cleaning day.
Staff Who Care As Much As You Do
Every new team member does halal awareness training on day one. Most of them have tried to sneak an extra arancini home, so they know exactly how good the halal finger food is and why the rules matter.

FAQs
Is every single item in the halal section actually certified, or are some just “halal-friendly”?
Every single one is fully certified by the Islamic Council of Western Australia. We don’t do “halal-friendly” or “halal-style” – if it’s in the halal finger food section, it has the paperwork, the separate prep, and the full sign-off. No exceptions, ever.
How much notice do you really need for a decent-sized order?
Forty-eight hours is perfect and guarantees everything you want is available. That said, we’re famous for squeezing in same-day orders – ring before 10 am and 9 times out of 10 we’ll make it happen, even on weekends.
Can you do halal finger food that’s also gluten-free, dairy-free or nut-free?
Yes, yes and yes. Our jackfruit curry puffs are gluten-free and vegan, several arancini are dairy-free, and we have completely nut-free options. Everything is clearly marked on the website, or just tell us your needs when you order and we’ll guide you.
Do you actually deliver all the way to Mandurah, Rockingham or Joondalup?
Every single day. We have drivers who live for the beach run down to Mandurah and others who know every back road to Joondalup. As long as you’re in the Perth metro and hit $90, delivery is free and on time.
Are the sweet items properly halal too, or do I need a separate order?
Completely halal and in the same section. The cannoli chips, lemon myrtle tarts and date bites are made with certified ingredients and the same strict separation rules. Order them right alongside the savoury stuff.
Will the halal finger food still be hot after a long delivery?
We use commercial insulated bags with heat packs that keep everything piping hot for well over an hour. Customers in Byford and Ellenbrook regularly tell us they have to wait five minutes before they can eat because it’s too hot straight out of the bag.
What’s the smallest order I can place?
No minimum for pickup. For delivery we just ask $90 for free delivery – that’s usually one large platter and a sweet one, or two medium savouries. Smaller than that and there’s a small delivery fee.
We’ve got a wedding for 280 people – can you actually handle that?
We do it all the time. We’ve catered halal finger food for 400-person weddings in the Swan Valley and corporate events for 600 in the CBD. Give us a call or email and we’ll build a custom package, quote, and timeline that works for you.
If something does go cold, how do we reheat it properly?
Spread the halal finger food on oven trays (don’t crowd them), 180 °C fan-forced for 8-12 minutes. The pastry comes back even crisper than fresh and the centres get that perfect molten texture again. Full instructions come on a card with every order.
Can I order normal pasta meals and halal finger food in the same delivery?
All the time. We prepare and pack them completely separately, label everything clearly, and deliver together. It’s how most families order when not everyone needs halal – no stress, no mix-ups.
