Christmas in Mansfield

The Mansfield December looks different from the city ones. Less corporate, more community: club presentation nights, works dos at a function room rather than a hotel, school and college events, and family gatherings at the halls.

That shapes what gets ordered. A festive sandwich buffet at £8.75 a head covers most of it, because most of these rooms are standing-and-talking rooms rather than sit-down ones. Where there are tables, the hot buffet at £23.50 is the better answer.

December is the month when every caterer is stretched, and the second and third weeks go first. Book the date early and you get the slot you want rather than the one that is left.

Booking a December date from here

Mansfield's December fills in a different order from a city's. The clubs and function rooms book their own calendars first — presentation nights, charity evenings, the works do that has been on the same Friday for years — and the catering gets arranged afterwards, often quite late.

That is worth knowing because it cuts both ways. It means late December enquiries from Mansfield are more common and more often possible than they would be in Nottingham. It also means the room you want may already be gone while we are still free, so it is worth confirming the venue before you confirm us.

A 25% deposit holds the date once you are ready. Numbers go final seven days out and you can move them freely until then, which suits a club night where the count firms up in the last fortnight.

Why Mansfield chooses us

  • Close enough to be certain

    December is the one month where every caterer is stretched. In Mansfield a promised time is still a promise — and the good slots go to whoever books first.

  • Club and works nights

    Mansfield's December is presentation evenings, club functions and works dos rather than city-centre corporate. The hot buffet at £23.50 a head suits a room with tables; the festive buffet suits one without.

  • Hog roast for the big room

    For anything over about fifty a roast feeds the room without seating it, and from £795 it is usually cheaper per head than a plated dinner.

  • Terms published

    25% holds the date, numbers final a week out, adjust freely until then.

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, Nottingham

  • Fantastic food and service from Sadlergates Catering Nottingham for a Celebration of Life event. They were so lovely to deal with and there were many compliments about the sandwich buffet on the day. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for catering an event.

    Hester · Celebration of life, Nottingham

  • Sadlergate were outstanding from start to finish when catering our Christmas event. The festive buffet was of a very high standard providing three different meats and also veggie options. Shaun and Vicky were incredible throughout the evening, ensuring everything ran seamlessly and taking care of every detail.

Christmas catering in Mansfield — your questions answered

Can you cater a club presentation night?

Regularly, and it is a good part of what December looks like here. A festive buffet at £8.75 a head suits a standing room; if there are tables, the hot buffet at £23.50 is the better answer.

How late can we confirm numbers?

Seven days before, and you can move them up or down freely until then. After that we are buying food against your figure, though a drop of around 10% inside the final week is usually absorbable.

How early can you deliver on a December morning?

Early is straightforward, even in the busiest fortnight. Tell us the hour and the food is set out before anybody sits down.

What dates can you cater?

Everything on the Christmas menu runs from the 1st to the 23rd of December.

When should we book?

As early as you can. December fills from October and the last two weeks go first, Thursdays and Fridays especially.

How much does it cost to hold a date?

A 25% deposit secures it, with the balance due 30 days before. Final numbers are confirmed seven days out and you can move them freely until then.

What are the vegetarian and vegan options?

Vegan turkey, cranberry and stuffing sandwiches, festive vegan sausage rolls and mixed falafel bites are on the buffet as standard, and the hot buffet has a vegan meatloaf on request. Everything is prepared separately and labelled.

Do you cater works parties and family ones?

Both, at the same price. Office parties tend to want the delivered festive buffet; family gatherings more often want the hog roast.
