Why choose Sadlergates

  • Three ways to do Christmas

    A festive buffet, a full Christmas dinner served at your venue, or a turkey or hog roast when the numbers are large. Whichever suits the room you have.

  • Book early, confirm late

    December fills from October and the last two weeks go first. Hold your date now — final numbers can be confirmed much nearer the day.

  • Every diet catered

    Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and halal, prepared separately and clearly labelled so nobody has to ask at the table.

ABOUT CHRISTMAS CATERING

The one lunch of the year nobody wants to get wrong

An office Christmas lunch is the meal your team remembers, and the one they will still be talking about in February if it goes badly. We have been catering them across the Midlands since 2012 — for offices of eight and factories of three hundred, in boardrooms, on shop floors and in village halls.

There are three ways we do it. A festive buffet is our standard buffet menu with the fillings swapped, extra savouries added and a cracker for every person. A Christmas dinner is cooked and served on site at your venue, catering to every dietary requirement in the room. A turkey or hog roast carved in front of guests handles the large numbers that a plated dinner cannot.

If none of those is quite right, say so. Changing a menu to suit a room is the ordinary part of this job, not the difficult part.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Christmas Catering — your questions answered

When should we book Christmas party catering?

As early as you can. December bookings start arriving in October and the last two weeks before Christmas fill first, Thursdays and Fridays especially. If you already have a date, ask now — we would far rather hold it than turn you away in November.

How much is Christmas party catering?

The festive sandwich buffet is £8.75 a head. The Christmas hot buffet, cooked and served at your venue, is £23.50 a head with desserts a further £7.50. Turkey and hog roasts are priced by guest numbers from £795. All prices exclude VAT.

What dates can you cater?

Everything on the Christmas menu runs from the 1st to the 23rd of December. Outside those dates we cater from the standard menus as normal.

What is on a festive buffet?

Turkey, cranberry and stuffing sandwiches, gammon and mustard mayo, tuna and sweetcorn, a vegan turkey option and cheddar with Christmas chutney. Savouries are pigs in blankets, festive sausage rolls, pork pie, brie and cranberry pinwheels and falafel bites, with ginger cake, mince pies and chocolate tiffin.

Can you serve a full Christmas dinner at our venue?

Yes. The Christmas hot buffet at £23.50 a head is cooked and served by our team where you are — roast turkey, topside beef or honey roast gammon with pigs in blankets, seasonal vegetables, baby roasts and the sauces. Add £6.00 a head for In The Middle service, where everything is set at the centre of the table.

Do you cater works Christmas parties and family ones?

Both, and at the same price. Office parties tend to want the delivered festive buffet or the hot buffet at a venue; family gatherings more often want the hog roast. The kitchen does not know the difference and neither does the bill.

What are the vegetarian and vegan options?

The festive buffet includes vegan turkey, cranberry and stuffing sandwiches, festive vegan sausage rolls and mixed falafel bites as standard. The hot buffet has a vegan meatloaf on request. Everything is prepared separately and labelled, at no extra charge on buffets.

Where do you deliver Christmas catering?

Nottingham, Derby, Sheffield, Leicester, Mansfield, Chesterfield and Hucknall, and the towns between them. Delivery is free, and hot food and roasts are quoted with the venue and the numbers.
