Christmas Party Catering

Your own private chef for perfect festive food

We can take the stress out of Christmas parties

Christmas is a lovely time of year – full of festive good cheer and anticipation for the holidays ahead, sparkling with Christmas decorations. For us, food should be at the heart of a proper Christmas celebration.  Whether you are planning an office Christmas party, a festive Christmas event for your clients or a Christmas party for friends and family, getting the food right is vital.

We will design the menu for your Christmas party just for you. Our Christmas catering services can span everything from a menu of festive Christmas themed canapés, to a formal Christmas lunch or dinner, serving perfectly cooked and rested turkey with all the trimmings.  For a real Christmas showstopper with a difference, why not opt for one of our luxurious fruit de mer shellfish sharing platters?

Free-range meat, sustainable fish and seasonal ingredients for the freshest taste

As with all our food, wherever possible we use seasonal ingredients for our Christmas party menus. All our meat is free range and we use sustainable fish, which we source directly from Billingsgate market (where we have our kitchen) so it is as fresh as possible.

Christmas wine and food pairings

We can recommend the perfect wine to accompany your Christmas party food, including spiced mulled wine and festive fizz.

Highly trained & experienced catering chefs

Our head chef Deanna Smith works with a team of expert chefs who are highly experienced and have trained at Leith’s School of Food & Wine. Some (like Deanna) have also taught there. You can therefore be assured that the cooking will be of the highest standard.

  • "We had an amazing experience with Deanna, and the Platter and Slate team. The food was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of canapés that impressed all of our guests. Everything was fresh and beautifully presented. Highly recommend them for any event!"

    – Rebecca McDonald

  • "Deanna was brilliant to work with. It felt like we bonded very quickly and refined the menu together. Deanna is very passionate, her ideas are creative, the food very tasty, and refined."

    – Peter Hodsman

  • "We were absolutely blown away by the service. We had canapés then a three course meal, and every mouthful was divine! Even our snobbiest foody friends are still raving about it! We're now just trying to think of excuses to have another big do with platter and slate doing the food!!"

    – C Annesley

  • "Almost all of our guests commented on how special the food was - which is really a rarity at big catered events, where people are used to being served predictable fare. Deanna is a fabulous cook and a truly wonderful person and I'm keen to throw a big party... just so that we can hire her again!"

    – Eleanor Nairne
