We cater office Christmas parties, team dinners, festive drinks receptions and family Christmas and New Year gatherings in offices, homes, halls and hired venues across Essex and London. One client wrote after their Christmas party that the food and service were brilliant and all their guests loved it.

Office Christmas party catering
Holding the party in the office saves the cost of a venue and makes it easy for everyone to come. We set up hot food stations in a breakout area, canteen or meeting room, serve the team and clear away, so the space is back to normal the next morning. Companies can pay on invoice and we can work to a purchase order.
Christmas catering at home
Hosting family or friends over Christmas and New Year is a lot easier when someone else does the cooking. We cook at your home, serve a festive Thai feast and leave the kitchen clean, so you can enjoy the evening with your guests.
Book early for December
Friday and Saturday nights in December are the busiest dates of our year and fill up early. If you have a date in mind, ask now. Weeknight parties and early-December or January "Christmas" parties are easier to secure and often better value for your venue too.
Everyone included
Christmas menus are rarely kind to vegans or people avoiding gluten. Ours are. We can make the whole spread suitable for a mixed office, label every dish, and keep a mild option for anyone who is not keen on spice.

Questions
Christmas parties: your questions answered
Something else on your mind? Call 07301 975263 or send us your event details.
When should we book our Christmas party catering?
As early as possible. Friday and Saturday nights in December fill up first, often by the autumn. Weeknights and early December are easier.
Can you cater the Christmas party in our office?
Yes. We set up hot food stations in your office, breakout area or canteen and clear away afterwards, so you do not need to hire a venue.
How much does a Christmas party cost per head?
Christmas party catering starts from £17 per guest for a main and two spring rolls served hot from food stations, and £24 per guest for food stations with starters, satay, two mains and two staff. There is a minimum spend of £750, and travel is included in the quote.
Can we have Thai canapés with drinks instead of a meal?
Yes. A canapé reception works well for an after-work festive drinks party. Allow ten to twelve canapés per guest if it replaces a meal.
Do you cater Christmas and New Year parties at home?
Yes. We cater family Christmas and New Year gatherings at home or in a hired hall, with a £750 minimum spend. For smaller groups our private chef dinner party is a good fit.
Can you cater for vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy needs?
Yes. Every menu has vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes at no extra cost, halal chicken is available on request, and every dish is labelled for the 14 major allergens. Tell us about allergies when you book; because we cook in shared facilities, we cannot promise a dish is completely free of any allergen.
How do I book, and what deposit do you need?
Send us your date, rough guest numbers and venue and we reply with a tailored quote, valid for 24 hours. A 20% non-refundable deposit secures dates booked at least two months ahead, and bookings within four weeks of the event are paid in full. We take bank transfer, cards, cash and cheque, and companies can pay on invoice.
