The love for a corporate Christmas night out never seems to waiver and it’s the busiest time of year for those of us working in hospitality. Making sure you maximise on sales, year on year, is often based on word of mouth and you giving those visiting a night to remember. That way they are more likely to re-book or tell others about you. Often, it’s the attention to detail that gets people talking and helps create those special memories. Those little extras that others may not have considered will give you a competitive edge.

For our first festive article of the year, we’re sharing five of our favourite products to help you wow your guests this season. We’re also bringing Christmas gifts to you all a little early with some special offers in our festive gallery.

1. Christmas Crackers

No Christmas party feels right without the perfect festive décor – a good old Christmas cracker. Not only do crackers add the finishing touches to a table design they also add so much fun to a party. From the battle to pull the winning half, to wearing party hats and telling jokes, you can be sure a cracker will make everyone smile. If you take a look at our Christmas offers you will see some of our favourites.

2. Colourful Crockery

Choosing the right colour theme for your table design is also important and what colour suggests Christmas more than red. That’s why we’ve chosen the Artisan Ember red crockery for our Christmas catalogue. This fine china gives a studio pottery feel but will also look bold on any festive table, whilst blending perfectly with your other Christmas décor.

3. Flutes

Christmas is a time to be merry and celebrate, which is why we think Champagne is the ideal drink for the festive party season. It also suggests quality and luxury which always goes down a treat. We love these Glacial Champagne Flutes, so much we are offering 20% off the Rila and Amaro glasses. Whether you are looking for crystal glasses or something a little more simple now is the time to get stocked up.

4. High Volume Cutlery

It’s amazing how much people notice the cutlery when eating out, so you won’t want to compromise on style. However, corporate Christmas parties often mean large group bookings, so you will want to ensure you are considering value for money and have enough items for when you are at your busiest. Look in our Christmas gallery and check out our cutlery recommendations for the coming weeks.

5. Food Warmers

One of the biggest causes of complaints when serving large groups of diners is cold food. It can spoil the night if the food isn’t served to perfection. That’s why we’ve included the Chefmaster Double Food Warmer in our festive round-up. Find out more about this fantastic product and see how it can help you this season.
