Christmas Party Catering in Layer Marney

Planning Christmas party catering in Layer Marney

Layer Marney has plenty of character, with 33% of its homes built before 1919. Historic buildings often limit what can be cooked indoors, so we cook outside under our gazebo and serve inside.

Layer Marney is a small, friendly community of around 310 households. Small villages tend to celebrate together, so fêtes, village hall parties and private estate events are what we usually cater nearby.

Three in four homes in Layer Marney (75%) are detached or semi-detached, so most hosts have a garden or driveway to work with. Gardens here suit a garden party with a cooking station on the patio and food served straight from the wok.

Party venues in and around Layer Marney

Parties in and around Layer Marney usually happen at village halls, garden marquees and Tudor and historic houses, and we adapt the set-up to the space.

Indoors we serve a hot buffet in chafing dishes; outdoors we cook live at a gazebo station, which is half the entertainment.
