I know what you’re thinking – ‘Christmas talk? It’s July, Christmas is light years away.’

And yet, to make your xmas party the best xmas party ever, it’s important to book as early as now.

1. Guaranteed place

It’s no secret that Christmas time is one of the busiest times of year for bespoke catering companies like us due to so many different companies looking for catering companies for their xmas parties, to show their employees how much they value them. However, planning your xmas party catering too late could mean you possibly end up making a place or specific time unavailable. This could limit the flexibility of your planning, so booking early ensures there’s no last-minute panic, and you can relax knowing that your Christmas party is safe and sound.

2. More planning time
