Planning Christmas party catering in Southend-on-Sea
Southend-on-Sea is a large place with about 39,012 households. A town this size has every kind of venue, from function rooms and sports clubs to offices and community centres, and we have the capacity for big guest lists.
Southend-on-Sea has plenty of character, with 46% 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.
Around 51% of homes in Southend-on-Sea are flats, so many hosts here book a local hall, a pub function room or a communal space, and we come to them. We can cook on site at the venue or set up a hot buffet, whichever suits the space.
