The shortest delivery we make

Everything is made in our kitchen on Watnall Road. A Hucknall buffet is made and eaten in the same town, which is as fresh as a delivered buffet gets.

That has practical consequences rather than sentimental ones. Hucknall deliveries go out first because they are nearest. An 8am drop is easy here. And a late change, the fifteen extra people who appeared in a meeting, is usually possible because the order has not left the building.

None of that is a promise we would make about Sheffield, and we would not pretend otherwise. It is simply what being a mile away allows.

What Hucknall orders

The working catering here is around the Watnall Road corridor, the Wigwam Lane and Common Lane estates, and out towards Sherwood Business Park at junction 27. Ordinary buffet orders, mostly Buffet 1 or Buffet 5, going out early.

The rest is community: club functions at the John Godber Centre, presentation nights at Hucknall Town, christenings and wakes at the churches and halls, and the birthdays and anniversaries that fill a village hall on a Saturday. Same nine buffets, same prices.

For something larger, hot buffets are £23.50 a head with a fifty-person minimum and grazing boards £97.00 a crate serving ten. Hog roasts and barbecues travel well from here too: Newstead Abbey, Papplewick Pumping Station and Bestwood Lodge are all inside fifteen minutes.

Where we deliver around Hucknall

Hucknall itself, Butler’s Hill and Broomhill, out through Linby, Papplewick, Newstead and Annesley, down to Bestwood Village, Bulwell and Nuthall, and west to Watnall, Kimberley and Eastwood. Delivery is free on orders over £20.

Offices, estates, schools, halls, clubs and houses. Beyond that we are into the Nottingham and Mansfield rounds, which run every working day regardless.

What our customers say

4.9 out of 5 from 210+ Google reviews

  • Booked Sadlergates for my husband’s 50th birthday, The Hog Roast (we went with the Gold package). The team (Will, Ryan and Vickie) were all absolutely fantastic, friendly and professional whilst having a laugh with us! The food was completely outstanding, and every single guest commented on how incredible it was.

  • Fantastic food and service from Sadlergates Catering for a family celebration. Everything arrived on time, looked great and tasted even better. Would not hesitate to use them again.

    Hester · Family celebration, Nottingham

  • We received a sample buffet at our workplace and were very happy. The sandwiches were fresh, there was plenty of choice and the vegetarian option was properly thought about rather than an afterthought.

Can you deliver at short notice in Hucknall?

It is worth ringing, which is not something we would say about anywhere else. The kitchen is on Watnall Road, so the limit is what it already has to get out that day. We will not promise it, but we will look.

Where exactly is your kitchen?

Castle Industrial Park, Watnall Road, Hucknall. Every buffet we deliver anywhere is made there, and it is the address the company is registered at.

£20 on the order value for a delivered buffet, which is four people on Buffet 1. Hot buffets have a fifty-person minimum.

Yes. Same buffet, same day, same slot, set up once, with a credit account putting it on one monthly invoice.
