    FAQs

    Do you cater Christmas parties across London and Surrey?
    Yes. We’re based in Cobham, Surrey, and cater Christmas parties, office celebrations and private Christmas lunches and dinners across Surrey and London, in private homes, offices and venues. We’re happy to travel further afield too, so just tell us where your event is.

    How far in advance should we book Christmas catering?
    Dates are subject to availability and December books up quickly, so the sooner you secure your date, the safer. We recommend booking 4–12 weeks ahead. We need your final guest numbers 5 days before the event.

    How much does Christmas catering cost?
    Every menu is tailored, so we quote for each event once we know your date, guest numbers, location and the style of food and service you’d like. Send us those details using the form on this page and one of our party planners will be in touch within 48 hours.

    What deposit do you need?
    A 50% deposit secures your booking, and a further 40% is due 10 days before your event. We’ll send our full terms and conditions with your booking confirmation.

    Is there a minimum number of guests?
    We usually cater for 10 guests or more. Smaller parties are possible with a surcharge, so do ask.

    Do you cater on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day?
    We’re usually closed on these days, but we’re happy to look at any enquiry and will let you know if we can accommodate it. Extra costs apply. If you’d rather host yourself, our Party to Collect menu lets you pick up festive food from our Cobham deli.

    Can a chef cook Christmas dinner in my home?
    Yes. Your chef brings all the ingredients, equipment and crockery, cooks in your kitchen (using your oven and hob if you’re happy for us to), and our team serves from canapés to pudding. We clean the kitchen before we leave.

    Can you cater our office Christmas party?
    Yes. We cater office Christmas parties on site, from boardroom lunches to canapé receptions and seated dinners. We can serve hot food even where there’s no kitchen, because we bring our own equipment. We also cater at a venue of your choice.

    Can our office Christmas party stay within the £150 tax-free limit?
    Yes, we can plan to a budget. HMRC treats an annual staff party as tax-free for employees if it’s open to all staff and costs £150 or less per person, including VAT. Your quote shows the cost per head so your finance team can check it. Your accountant can confirm how the rules apply to your business.

    Do you provide staff, tableware, linens and glassware?
    Yes. For private and corporate events we can arrange chefs, waiting staff and bar staff, plus linens, glassware, table settings, styling and equipment hire.

    Can you provide drinks?
    Yes. We can supply the drinks and bar staff, or serve your own drinks with no corkage charge. Mulled wine is available too.

    What can you serve for a Christmas party?
    Our menus are seasonal and modern British: canapés and bowl food for standing receptions, seated lunches and dinners, showpiece mains, carving stations and properly festive puddings. Download our Autumn–Winter 2026/27 Events Menu above for the full selection.

    Can you cater for dietary requirements and allergies?
    Yes. Tell us at the enquiry stage and we’ll design suitable dishes, including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and Halal and Kosher menus. Please note our kitchen is not allergen-free: we handle nuts, gluten and other allergens, so we can’t guarantee dishes are free from traces.

    Are you food hygiene rated and insured?
    Yes. Our Cobham kitchen holds the top food hygiene rating of 5 (Very Good) from Elmbridge Borough Council, and we carry public liability insurance.

    How does Party to Collect work?
    Order in advance from our Party to Collect menu, then collect your order from our deli at 40 High Street, Cobham. It’s collection only (there’s no delivery this year). For Christmas Eve (24 December) the minimum spend is £200 on food, turkey orders close on Thursday 10 December and final orders on Saturday 12 December; collect from 8am, by 12pm. For New Year’s Eve (31 December) the minimum spend is £100, last orders are Friday 18 December, and you can collect from 9am, by 1pm. Download the 2026 Party to Collect menu (PDF) or call the deli on 01932 576671.

    Can you work with our venue or event planner?
    Of course. We work with venue coordinators, planners and production teams all the time, and we can suggest venues across London and Surrey if you haven’t chosen one yet.
