Wedding Caterer Needed - New Years Eve 2015

[ChalireFish]

Hello,

 

Is anyone a wedding caterer or can suggest a wedding caterer that would work on New Years Eve 2015

 

I am struggling to find any one because of the dates.

 

We would be wanting a 3 course meal served around 5pm for around 100 people and a buffet for around 70 - this can be placed out at any time during the day as long as its covered and we are happy to uncover it on our own in the evening so there would be no reason to stay later than nessescary

 

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help

oh heck, what a date to pick for premium prices. I would imagine a lot of people will be preparing for the expensive 'dos' for that evening.

 

What sort of venue, location and food have you in mind? I was wondering as this may affect suggestions.

 

Hope you have a fab wedding.

The venue is a village hall. It has a kitchen. Tables and chairs are provided. I would need cutlery/crockery/glassware providing.

 

I am open to the meal being any type of food. I was hoping for a sit down meal and an evening buffet but suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.

Just observing this thread and my post is no help to you but! is it New Years eve as in end of this month or next year?

New years eve 2015 is 31st December 2015. I wasn't sure if that was the date the op meant though.

 

My mum in law used to work in catering but she retired about ten years ago, I sometimes used to go to events with her. We never found village halls with cooking facilities good enough to cater for a hot meal for that many guests. Usually the caterer would bring in food, mainly prepared off the premises. Some were more basic meals such as pie and peas, jacket potato with fillings or lasagna salad and garlic bread. She did used to cater a lot of sit down meals but they tended to be cold starters, salads with cold meats and warm new or jacket potatoes, warm quiche and cold desserts.

 

It doesn't seem a large party for someone to cater for on new years eve. Someone may be able to help, I can't suggest anyone.

 

If all else fails, I can hire you vintage china for a sit down cold meal. This would be tea plates, serving platters, cake stands etc. You could order in food from somewhere like Costco or anywhere else for that matter. Its just that Costco do some really good quality meat and seafood platters as well as salads, sandwiches and cakes etc.
