Christmas Party Catering in London
Festive roasts, canapés and grazing tables for office and private Christmas parties.
Christmas Party Catering in London
Christmas parties are the events we love most, a room full of people ready to celebrate, and food that has to feel like an occasion. Across London we cater festive parties of every size and style: roving canapés and mulled drinks, a full festive roast with all the trimmings, an elegant plated dinner, or our festive street food station serving the Yorkshire pudding burrito, a giant Yorkshire pudding rolled around slow roasted meat, trimmings and lashings of gravy, assembled hot in front of your guests.
Every festive menu is cooked from scratch by our family kitchen, with vegan, vegetarian, halal and gluten free options built in, and our team runs setup, service and clear down so you can enjoy the party too. Add the mobile bar for cocktails, prosecco and winter warmers, and the evening looks after itself.
December dates go first, and the best ones go early. Tell us your date, guest numbers and the style you have in mind through the Get a Quote form, and we reply within 24 hours with festive menus and a clear, itemised quote.
