I recently had the pleasure of trying Mark and Alice's Fresh Homemade Neapolitan Pizza for my summer party and I must say it was absolutely delightful! From the moment I took my first bite, I could tell that this pizza was made with love and expertise. Overall, I can confidently say that Mark and Alice's Neapolitan Pizza rivals some of the best pizzerias I've tried. It's clear that they are passionate about their craft, and it truly shines through in the taste of their pizza. Moreover, Mark and Alice consistently exhibit professionalism and warmth in their interactions with my guest. Thank you, Mark and Alice, for sharing your culinary talents with the world. I will definitely be coming back for more!

This was great! Daniel was so helpful in the lead up to the event and our staff really enjoyed watching the ice cream rolls being made. The range of flavours were amazing and tasted delicious! I honestly cannot fault the service. It was an absolute joy to have the team involved for our event and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to hire this for an event. Thanks so much Daniel and really hope we can work together in the future.

Your Guide for Hiring Christmas Catering Services in Liverpool

When Christmas comes to Liverpool, the city transforms into a vibrant celebration of lights, laughter and music. From the glittering Pier Head Ice Festival to the festive cheer radiating through Allerton’s restaurants and the buzzing Baltic Triangle, Liverpool has its own way of embracing the season. It’s no surprise, then, that many households, businesses, and social clubs choose to hire professional Christmas caterers to bring festive food straight to the party, freeing up time to enjoy the magic of the holidays.

Why Hire a Christmas Caterer in Liverpool

While the idea of cooking up a full Christmas spread sounds charming, the reality is often more stressful than joyful. Planning the menu, finding quality ingredients, juggling cooking times, serving dishes on schedule and scrubbing pans after everyone’s gone home — it can quickly overshadow the fun.

Hiring a professional Christmas caterer in Liverpool solves all of that. You’ll save time, avoid last-minute supermarket runs, and stay out of the kitchen on the day of your event. Whether you’re hosting a corporate Christmas party in the Baltic Triangle, a family dinner in Woolton or a university gathering near the city centre, a caterer takes care of the details so you can focus on the celebration.

Popular Catering Styles in Liverpool

Christmas events in Liverpool come in all shapes and sizes, and so do catering styles. From formal sit-downs to casual nibbles, there’s something to suit every type of gathering.

Traditional Christmas Dinner

Served plated to each guest, this classic format includes mains like roast turkey with all the trimmings and is perfect for family-style meals or more formal events.

Buffet Catering

A versatile option ideal for office parties or club gatherings. Guests help themselves to a spread of hot and cold festive dishes at their own pace.

Finger Food & Canapés

Great for standing receptions or smaller venues. Easy-to-eat items like sausage rolls, salmon bites or mini pies allow guests to mingle while enjoying festive flavours.

Grazing Platters & Sharing Boards

Suitable for relaxed settings. These often include cured meats, cheeses, artisan breads, and seasonal extras like spiced chutneys or pickled veg.

Street Food Vans

Increasingly popular in Liverpool. Expect mobile setups offering loaded roast sandwiches, balti wraps or hearty Christmas stews served hot from the van.

Dessert Tables

A centrepiece at many festive events. From classic puddings to vegan mince pies and cinnamon bakes, they’re perfect for satisfying guests with a sweet tooth.

Festive Food Highlights

Liverpool’s Christmas catering scene blends comforting classics with regional flair and a growing plant-based influence. Roast turkey with sage stuffing, pigs in blankets, crispy potatoes and Brussels sprouts still form the foundation of many menus. But you’ll also find festive takes on traditional Merseyside favourites.

Scouse stew, for instance, is a warming addition that works well at more informal events. Local caterers might include pork pies or black pudding canapés as starters, or showcase locally sourced seafood in cold platters or smoked appetisers.

The plant-based offering in Liverpool has expanded in recent years. Caterers now serve inventive vegan mains like mushroom wellingtons and nut roasts, along with festive vegetable samosas, falafel platters and vibrant grain salads. Desserts range from traditional Christmas pudding and chocolate yule logs to gingerbread bites and dairy-free treats — making sure all guests are well fed.

Cost of Christmas Catering in Liverpool

Catering prices vary depending on the event size, menu type and level of service. Here’s a general breakdown:

  • £17–25 per head
    Ideal for finger food menus, light grazing tables or dessert-only packages.

  • £25–38 per head
    Suitable for mixed buffets or hot food served in a semi-formal setup.

  • £38–£45+ per head
    Best for plated multi-course meals, full-service catering or bespoke festive menus.

Some caterers offer all-inclusive packages, especially for corporate or larger bookings, which can provide good value.

Tips for Booking Christmas Caterers in Liverpool

When to Book

If your event is in early to mid-December, it’s best to book at least 8–10 weeks in advance. Fridays and Saturdays tend to fill up first, especially for office functions or venue-based parties.

What to Look For in a Caterer

  • Experience with Christmas menus and festive presentation
  • Flexibility around dietary needs, including vegan and halal options
  • Customer reviews from past Christmas events
