Catering
Many groups hiring the facilities find using outside caterers to be convenient. Here are that others have used:
Here at Christ Church we’re very happy for those hiring the hall to bring in outside caterers. Alternatively, we can assist you. Subject to availability, we can provide a small team to set up tables and chairs, serve tea and coffee, and prepare and replenish a simple buffet consisting of sandwiches, crisps and other nibbles, and cake. The advantage of this is our small team will handle everything for you.
For more information and to enquire about the availability of the Hall or Lounge, please pop into the Church Office or contact us.
