Recall your last Xmas parties? That may be a silly question, you were probably so intoxicated that you couldn’t remember what your own name was. Allow me to rephrase the question. Was it honestly memorable? For many of you I presume the resounding answer would be no. Whether you partied with your boss in the office and ended up with the apprentice in the meeting room, or simply passed out as you drank to numb the boredom in a faceless rented hotel meeting suite, your last Christmas do was most likely one to forget.

Maybe you feel like you deserve more? 2010 has been a really tough year with concerns about the recession and possible redundancy, UK workers should really be getting on their employers backs to pull out all the stops this festive season. A great way to make your Noel-based knees-up go off with a bang is to let an outside catering firm take the burden of preparing the food and organizing the venue.

Imagine restaurant standard food served however you want. Whether you require a formal sit down meal, a finger buffet or even something more extravagant like a hog roast, this new breed of private catering companies can pander to your every whim. Food is not usually top of the agenda for most Christmas party goers but most outside caterers now place as much emphasis on their wide array of exciting beers, wines and cocktails from around the world as they do their delicious food.

Many caterers now even offer parties with a distinct theme.  The only limit is your imagination! Want a Christmas do with a toga-dress code and a Greek Mezze buffet? Roy from maintainance may not be too made-up about it, but outside caterers can make it happen. Make sure you have a break from the monotomous standard xmas fare get your company’s HR department to look into outside catering. Yule be glad you did!
