christmas party catering in
Frome & Somerset
December is the one month everyone wants a long table, good wine and someone else doing the washing-up. That's our department.
Burnt Sugar Collective is based just outside Frome, and we cook Christmas parties for offices, families and friends across Somerset, Bath, Bristol, Bruton, Warminster, Wiltshire and beyond. That might be a staff party for sixty, a canapé evening for twelve, or a dinner in a rented house over the festive break.
The menus follow what's good in December: Somerset roots and brassicas, day-boat fish from the Dorset coast, Westcombe cheddar from just down the road, and meat from local farms.
When the setting allows, we'll cook something over fire. The flavours are the ones you want at this time of year, cooked to perfection and served without fuss.
Corporate Christmas parties
Office parties, client dinners, team lunches, end-of-year launches. We can do a seated three-course dinner, a sharing-style feast, a relaxed buffet, or canapés and small plates for a standing party. Any guest count is fine.
We cook in your office, at your chosen venue or in a marquee, and we handle the logistics from the first delivery to the last washed pot. Drinks service and bar staff can be arranged alongside.
Canapés & drop-off dinner parties
Hot and cold canapés, passed round by our team, for parties of any size.
Prefer to host it yourself? Within 10 miles of Frome, we drop off freshly made canapés, clearly labelled and with simple instructions for finishing and plating, or a full dinner party menu ready to serve. Put it on your own plates, pour a drink, and enjoy the compliments. It works well for office parties, open houses, last-minute get-togethers and a dinner you'd rather not cook yourself.
Private Christmas parties
Christmas drinks for a house full of neighbours. A long dinner for the people you actually want to sit next to. A milestone birthday that happens to land in December.
Dom designs the menu, cooks in your kitchen and clears down afterwards, so you get restaurant energy and home-kitchen comfort with none of the stress. Your only jobs are opening the door and pouring the wine.
Festive holidays away
& New Year's Eve
Renting a big house for the festive break, with a lovely kitchen you have no intention of using? Dom will come to you, wherever you're staying. He plans the menu with you, sorts the shopping, cooks, and leaves the kitchen spotless.
New Year's Eve is the dinner we'd suggest: a long table, a celebratory menu and a midnight toast, with none of the cooking.

Tell us your date, guest count and setting, and we'll come back with honest food costs first — no vague package tiers, no waiting a week for a PDF. From there, we build the menu around what's in season, meet or call to talk through logistics, and turn up on the day with everything sorted, right down to the last washed pot.
