What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. By about 3:55pm in late December, South Kensington is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
