Hi there We are wanting to host a Christmas type lunch for our guests as well as guests from our surrounding self-catering accommodation providers who don't have the facilities to hold a Christmas social. The focus is on a family friendly day that is casual yet traditional ISH, offering lunch and fun filled activities to go with the surroundings and activities our venue offer. Like biking, hiking, swimming, river tubing, pony rides, jumping castles and other kiddie based activities We have a venue and equipment that can host about 80/ people so we would have to consider renting other tables and chairs on the day perhaps but for now I am looking to focus on the food offering as a lot of the guests will be presold and booked before the actual event, we have to consider the guests will comprise of both adults and children and a vegetarian offering should be made available if at all possible, the focus is on family and friend quality time and enjoying the day as a whole so the catering should be easy hassle free and somewhat more casual. We do have a functional events venue with mess and kitchen...with both inddor and outdoor serving areas in the form of a chapel as well as a large deck off our bar venue, so weather is not a HUGE obstacle, we also have access to staff that we could utilize on the day as servers etc but all catering offerings would be appreciated and considered. Many Thanks S
