Save on Christmas catering

We love our customers and want to be fair and transparent. So, here’s how to save on Christmas catering.

Choose disposable dinnerware.
Skip the plated full-service dinner and do a buffet instead.
Save on cocktail hour – cheese and charcuterie can be pricey – offer some dips such as hummus and fresh pita.
Ham is absolutely delicious and a cheaper alternative to turkey.
Leftovers often make a great meal the next day.
