Office Christmas parties in Nottingham
December in Nottingham divides between two kinds of party and we cater both. The professional offices in the centre and around the station mostly want something delivered at lunchtime or early evening: a festive sandwich buffet, or hot turkey rolls for thirty or more. Something that arrives, gets eaten standing up, and does not need anybody to organise it on the day.
The business parks ringing the city tend to want the other thing: a proper sit-down, either at their own premises or at a venue, with our team there to serve. That is the £23.50 Christmas dinner or the £12.95 feast bowl, and in December those dates book further ahead than anything else we do.
The practical point about Nottingham is competition for dates. A great many firms want the second and third Thursday in December, and we only take a few on-site bookings a day. Ringing in October is the whole difference.
Family Christmas, and the quieter ones
The same menu goes to houses, halls and clubs across the city for family gatherings, and to wakes and celebrations of life, which do not stop for December and are often harder for the family because of it.
For a large family gathering a hog roast from £795 usually works out better than a plated dinner: it feeds fifty without anybody having to seat fifty, and it is the thing people remember.
Where we deliver in Nottingham at Christmas
The whole city and the towns around it: the centre, West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold, Carlton, Wollaton, Bulwell, Mapperley, Sherwood and Clifton, and out past them. Delivery is free.
Offices, function rooms, hotels, clubs, church halls and houses. If reception needs a driver’s name in advance, tell us when you book; in December every building is busier than usual.

What Nottingham customers say
4.9 out of 5 from 210+ Google reviews
Sadlergates did the catering for our wedding in Nottingham and we couldn’t have been happier… There was plenty of food and they were really good at dealing with our complex dietary requirements. On the day of the wedding they turned up exactly on time, prepped the food and brought it all out with excellent communication so we knew when to get everyone seated.
Beth · Wedding
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
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.

We deliver into Nottingham every week. Tell us the date and roughly how many, and the rest is straightforward.
Christmas catering in Nottingham, your questions answered
Can you deliver a Christmas buffet to a city-centre office?
Yes, and it is most of what we do in December. Tell us the building, the floor and who to ask for. If reception needs a name in the visitor book in advance we will supply one.
How late can we book a Nottingham date?
Festive sandwich buffets need your order by 4pm the day before, so a late booking is often possible. Turkey rolls, feast bowls, Christmas dinners and hog roasts depend on availability, and popular December dates go months ahead. The cut-off is rarely what stops us, availability is.
How much is Christmas catering per head?
Festive sandwich buffets start at £5.50 a head and festive turkey rolls are £7.95, delivered hot. The Christmas feast bowl is £12.95 and the Christmas dinner £23.50 a head, both served on site, with dessert a further £7.50. Hog roasts are priced by guest numbers from £795. All prices are subject to VAT at 20%.
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.
