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 from £5.50 a head or hot turkey rolls at £7.95 cover most of it, because most of these rooms are standing-and-talking rooms. Where there are tables, the Christmas dinner at £23.50 is the better answer.

December is the month when every caterer is stretched, and the second and third weeks go first. On-site dates are limited, so book the date early and you get the slot you want.

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 before 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

  • Club and works nights

    Mansfield’s December is presentation evenings, club functions and works dos. Hot turkey rolls suit a standing room; the Christmas dinner at £23.50 a head suits a seated one.

  • Hog roast for the big room

    Over about fifty, a roast feeds the room without seating it, and from £795 it usually works out cheaper a head than a plated dinner.

  • A promised time is a promise

    December stretches every caterer. Say the hour you want food out and it is out and covered before anybody sits down.

  • Terms published

    A 25% deposit holds the date, final numbers a week before, and you can adjust freely until then. No December surcharge.

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 sandwich buffet from £5.50 a head or hot turkey rolls suit a standing room; if there are tables, the Christmas dinner 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?

Throughout December 2026. Festive sandwich buffets follow the usual 4pm cut-off; turkey rolls, feast bowls, Christmas dinners and hog roasts depend on what is still free that day, so ask about your date when you book.

When should we book?

As early as you can. December fills from October and the last two weeks go first, Thursdays and Fridays especially. On-site service is subject to availability, so a date served by our team is the one to settle first.

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 before and you can move them freely until then.

What are the vegetarian and vegan options?

There is a vegan festive turkey roll, a vegan Christmas feast bowl and a vegan meatloaf with the Christmas dinner on request. The sandwich buffets are 30% vegetarian as standard, with vegan portions 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 a festive buffet or turkey rolls delivered; family gatherings more often want the hog roast.
