December in Hucknall

Hucknall’s December is a mix. There is the working half, which is Rolls-Royce, the Castle Industrial Park units and the businesses along the Watnall Road corridor ordering a festive buffet for a lunchtime or an afternoon before people go out. Then there is the community half, which is the clubs, the John Godber Centre, the churches and the schools.

Both want the same thing at different scales: food laid out and covered before anybody arrives, no kitchen needed at their end, and a price known in advance. A festive sandwich buffet from £5.50 a head does that for either, and hot turkey rolls do it for thirty or more.

For a sit-down, the Christmas dinner is £23.50 a head and the feast bowl £12.95, both served on site for fifty or more, and for a big room a hog roast starts at £795.

Booking a December date from here

A 25% deposit holds the date. Final numbers are due a week before and you can move them freely until then, which matters in December more than any other month because office parties change shape right up to the last week.

There is no December surcharge. Buffets 1 to 9 cost in December what they cost in June, with the festive swaps included at no extra cost.

Being in the same town as the kitchen is why a late change here is usually a phone call. Ring and ask rather than assume the answer is no, particularly in the last fortnight when everything else is tight.

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.

    Shel · 50th birthday hog roast, Mansfield

  • 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.

Throughout December. The middle two weeks book up first, and on-site service is subject to availability, so if you want a particular Thursday it is worth asking now.

What is on the festive buffet?

Do you charge more in December?

No. There is no December surcharge, and the festive swaps on Buffets 1 to 9 cost nothing extra.

How late can we change the numbers?

Final numbers are due a week before. Up to then you can move them freely, and after that it is worth ringing rather than assuming, because the kitchen is in the town and small changes are often still possible.
