Frequently asked questions about Christmas catering in Perth

‍

Do caterers offer special menus in Perth for Christmas?

A few of them do, yes! These catering partners we work with offer special menu items you can only get this time of year.

• Creative Catering: One of the few caterers that offers a turducken, along with ham, beef, lamb, prawns and plenty of sides.
• Sweet On Cupcakes: The sweetest Christmas treats, including cupcakes, cookies, rum balls and even a gift mug filled with a selection of treats‍
• Temptations Catering: Three Christmas meal packages, including options like ham, beef, turkey, salads and a hot Christmas pudding

Do caterers supply vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free/dairy-free food for Christmas?

Yes, they do! And we've made it easy to find which items cater to dietary requirements on our menus and in our marketplace search.

You can search terms such as "vegetarian" and "vegan" to narrow down caterers who offer these options.

Also, when you're reading any of our menus, keep an eye out for the green symbols G, D, V and Vg next to each menu item.  G = Gluten Free, D = Dairy Free, V = Vegetarian and V= Vegan.

How far in advance do I need to order catering for my Christmas party?

The earlier the better, but if you have left it late try not to worry as some caterers can turn around orders in just 24 hours. All of our caterer pages, which will also display a caterer's menu, will note the required turnaround time at the top right.

You'll see a clock symbol and the number of hours you're going to need to order in advance listed there. Sometimes specific items do require a longer lead-time, especially anything that's being slow-cooked or made special for a holiday, but this will be listed on the page as well.

Can catering be delivered anywhere in Perth?

Yes! If you’re having your Christmas party outside of the office, as long as you’re still in the Perth area you’ll be able to get the order delivered to your venue of choice.

‍

Is catering available on Christmas Eve in Perth?

Yes, but your options are likely to be limited in Perth. While technically Christmas Eve isn't a public holiday, many caterers can shut down during the holiday season when offices aren't as busy and they have fewer orders to fulfil.

Christmas Eve is also on a Saturday in 2022, so caterers that serve corporate clients could be closed that day of the week too. Book early to avoid disappointment and to make sure you're able to lock in an order.

Is catering available on Christmas Day in Perth?

Christmas Day will be on a Sunday in 2022, and it's a public holiday, so many Perth caterers are going to be closed.

So if you do have staff working on that day at your business and want to treat them to something special for working on Christmas, don't worry - you could still have some options. Your best bet may be to opt for items like sweet or savoury pastries, cakes and muffins that can be delivered a day or two in advance.
