What to know about Christmas party catering in Wivenhoe
Wivenhoe station is under a mile from the centre of Wivenhoe. Guests can arrive by train, which keeps parking simple and lets everyone enjoy a drink.
About two thirds homes in Wivenhoe (73%) 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.
Wivenhoe has plenty of character, with 20% of its homes built before 1919. Older places usually have a church hall, a village hall or a historic pub that makes a characterful venue, and we check the rules on cooking and power in advance.
Hosting a party in Wivenhoe
Parties in and around Wivenhoe usually happen at converted barns, coastal and riverside venues and university and conference spaces, and we adapt the set-up to the space.
We need a flat space about the size of a parking bay for the cooking station, or we cook nearby and bring the food in hot.
December is our busiest month, so Christmas parties in Wivenhoe are best booked in October or November.
