Her day to day can involve anything from hiring drag queens to organising pop-up bars for Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants, but one of the parts of the job she enjoys most is organising Christmas parties. I sat down with her and got the inside scoop on how best to plan a Christmas party that’ll blow your employees away.

__Curran: So Amy, when do companies need to start planning their Christmas parties?__

__Amy:__ We don’t often see bookings until about August when people come back from summer holidays, but ideally you’d book as early as January to make sure you can secure a good date for your party. If you leave it too late there will be no venues with Thursday or Friday slots available, they disappear fast. Also, don’t forget to communicate with the invitees! You want to make sure everyone saves the date because Christmas is such a busy time of the year. 

*text in italic*

__Curran: What are the things people always forget to arrange?__

__Amy:__ Staff and entertainment are key, they’re the things that people always forget to organise and if you don’t nail them then your party can just end up being another boozy night out. Get your thinking cap on and make the entertainment something special. 

I actually don’t think that great Christmas party entertainment has to be Christmas themed. I worked on an awesome party which was Night Circus themed. It was quirky and in your face, but there were no Santa’s in sight! Really you just want to do something that’s a lot of fun.

__Curran: Does a meal out to a restaurant cut it these days?__

__Amy: __I think it can certainly make the cut - there are restaurants coming up with some really innovative Christmas menus in London and you have to cater for all budgets. Not everyone has £300 per head, lots of restaurants do great deals, especially if you book early, but if you have the budget, why not do something wild. You can go to a restaurant any day of the week after all!

__Curran: What type of venue works best?__

__Amy:__ If you’re able to, go for a blank canvas venue that has space for lots of embellishment. You want to make the venue into a total dreamland, so that people forget where they are and are totally in the moment. That’s much harder to do with a space that has a lot of it’s own character already, although if the vibe of the place fits your theme it could work well.

If you have a smaller budget, you can still make people feel like they’re in another world, some venues have a couple of pre-defined possible layouts and lots of kit around to totally make the place over, so checking about that first can save a lot of money and effort.

__Curran: How much do companies need to spend per head?__

__Amy:__ To make it a special evening, £100 per head is a really realistic budget, especially if the venue has some infrastructure itself. If you want to go to town and make it a night to remember, you’ll be looking in the region of £200-220 per head.

Christmas party ideas from a pro

### __Canapés__


After the I do’s and confetti lobbing, it’s only right to treat your guests to a couple of glasses of fizz and a couple of small tasty treats. It’s the best way to kick off what we all know’s going to be the best part of the day…

NEVER underestimate the power of the canapé; these small, delicious bites can keep everyone happy before the big wedding meal comes along. We recommend that you go for quantity here because there’s always going to be somebody hogging the waiter! Don't be afraid to break culinary boundaries, caviar bellinis were so last year didn't you know! Instead, bring the shores of the Seychelles to your wedding by booking the amazing Vinn Goute to serve up their delicious snapper bites with chilli jam. A sure way to put a smile on everyone's faces! You can read more about how our brilliant wedding caters can get involved with your wedding right [here](https://feast-it.com/event/wedding).

![Feast-It-Canapes-Wedding-Caterers](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/yFDp78xsjuCwwSQ4CmcyI/1251a1b7dcfbf28e0fde8ce7f136cfc0/Mirren_Rosie_Vinn_Goute_004.jpg)


### __Main__

Here at Feast It, we're big fans of going for something a little less traditional when it comes to the main course. A great idea is to book large sharing platters for the whole table, so everyone can try a bit of everything and all tuck in together! It’s a great way to get the whole table talking and start sharing the love. When it comes to summer weddings look into a gourmet BBQ caterer who can spit-roast chickens for each table, just make sure you nominate someone to be the honorary carver for the day and your guests will be in for a treat! 

![Spit-and-Roast-Feast-It-Wedding-Food](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/MQ27HSIQo02qEUegkk8qc/403fbed948aad7a7db8e0a72e6630b0d/Image-1-3_copy.jpg)


### __Dessert__ 

Spoil your guests rotten with the ultimate when it come to puds! Feast It works with the very best dessert chefs who have really done their studies in sugar. If you want something a little more exciting than your three-tiered cake (or just to complement it/blow it out the water), book [Bad Brownie](https://feast-it.com/vendors/bad-brownie) for the gooiest, decadent fudge brownies around. Or if you’re feeling particularly devilish, hire Blu Top to make bespoke Ice-Cream sandwiches, a perfect pud in the British summertime. We work with a huge selection of caterers who can create a tailor-made menu just for your special day and you can check out our desserts right here!   

![Bad-Brownie-Wedding-Catering-Feast-It](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/6TM4ZN1YXKsS8YYSimMuc2/54e65d0b8a11c2872bae98180d5bdc15/BAD_BROWNIE_12_BITE_BOX_2880X2304.jpg)

### __Fuel Food__

At the end of the night, when people have had one or ten too many, this is the time to start dishing out some fuel food. To keep the dance floor full, everyone needs a pick me up! We work with some cracking caterers who are the ultimate babes of late night snacking. We’re not just talking chips, we’re talking halloumi fries, the best hot-dogs around or even some freshly fried doughnut bites with chocolate sauce. Everyone will get their second wave and the dance floor will be booming! Check them out [here](https://feast-it.com/vendors)!

![Big-Apple-Hot-Dogs-Wedding-Food](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/4Cao95jHN6igkqmOUq0kWI/954ad38be58be0522dbced13984ba471/018_BigAppleHotDogs_GeorginaCope__2_.jpg)

### __Just For Fun...__

For all those looking for something totally bonkers and unforgettable, take a look at [Candy Mechanics](https://www.candymechanics.com/). These new kids on the block have invented the ultimate event must have. Ever wanted an exact replica of your head.. made out of chocolate!? Yes please! It’s very simple. Step one: Candy Mechanics scan your head. Step two: as if by magic the 3D printer makes a chocolate mini you. Tried and tested by Feast It, this is something not to be missed. Does it feel wrong eating your own face-maybe? Do we care? Nope, it's delicious!  

![Feast-It-Candy-Mechanics](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/6tZ2hLfm92eyi0uecSE2Qy/93cc06212cfabb365bdfb1c118351779/Candy-Mechanics-Wedding.png)

Feast-It-Spit-and-Roast-BBQ-Catering

The sun's out, we all know what it's time for...

Feast It's BBQ bites

__Los Churros Amigos__ have been serving up some of the most delicious desserts this country has ever seen since they were founded by the amazing Hugo Tracey back in 2013. Since then they've been spreading the churros love across the country and Feast It caught up with Hugo to try and work out the secrets to his sugary success.

__Hi Hugo, so what inspired your decision to go into street food?
__

I was a churros virgin for many (too many) years. On tasting them for the first time it became blindingly obvious that there was a gap in the market as there were so few people doing it, I just had to get involved!

__
What are the most important things to bear in mind for chefs looking to get into street food? Is there anything that you wish you'd known before?__

Don’t be tempted to scrimp on cheap equipment, get a loan from the bank and buy the good stuff. You’ll make your money back ten times quicker. 
If you’ve got no friends, you're in a perfect position to do street food. Unless you get them working for you, you won’t see any of them ever again as most weekends you’ll be out serving!

![Churros-Feast-It-Wedding-Catering](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/3jlqivngwUywiQwWeGWcw8/242d5ca20d2c4776b071b5937806345f/IMG_03212__1_.JPG)

__Why do you think that the London street food scene is thriving to such an extent at the moment?__

I wouldn’t say it’s just London! Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol have all been kicking off recently. People like to get a quick bite and know that they are getting quality food that has had some thought go into it. It’s reached a tipping point where anyone who fancies having a go being self employed often see’s street food as an enjoyable job and sees it as something that is fairly easy to get going at, which it is.

__Are there any food trends that are particularly exciting you at the moment?__

Dim Sum on pizzas, gonna be huge!

![Los-Churros-Amigos-Feast-It-Amigos](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/3R0rgMIgMUSaOMo6yaYqGg/67f92c0873dc2e64deb9249f662b80d7/IMG_03195.JPG)

__Any street-food related funny stories?
__

We drove all the way to the Alps to do a student skiing festival and it turned out you can’t make churros (or bake cakes) at altitude because of the lack of oxygen! That was an expensive mistake...

__What's the best tip that you ever received?__

First and foremost, love yourself and everything else will take care of itself, and treat everyone like you would hope you to be treated (which is well I hope!) 

![Churros-Spanish-Catering-London-Feast-It](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/PwBFKEuZckGuqS2eiEsma/fe32e39362e0e00120fc1888a06222be/Los_Churros_Amigos-28.jpg)


__The most delicious thing you've ever tasted?
__

Fundi Pizza’s are immaculate, Ed’s duck wraps from the Duck Truck is pretty special, Bang Wok do the best Pad Thai I have ever tasted and our churros aren’t too shabby either

__Where can people find you?
__

Most festivals in the UK over the summer and lots of xmas markets over the winter. A permanent shop coming sometime this year in Oxford, keep your eyes peeled.

Lewisham’s favourite night-time food party takes place in an abandoned 1950s covered market, and delicious portable dinners are served by the likes of [Rola Wala](http://www.rolawala.com/), [Bill or Beak](https://feast-it.com/vendors/bill-or-beak?name=bill) and [Spit and Roast](https://feast-it.com/vendors/spit-and-roast?name=spit). Booze comes in many varieties, most notably alcoholic slushies and shandies served from an old hair salon. Find a spot among the outdoor and indoor eating spaces, or head up to the rooftop to catch the evening sun in this amazing space.

Feast It teamed up with travel website Pearlshare to create a list of some of London's very street food spots

The street food hubs of London 

Here at Feast It, we work with over 200 incredible street food traders but this week, in honour of [International Women’s Day](https://www.internationalwomensday.com/) we are celebrating some of the female founders who have grafted their way right to the top of the street food industry. Blood, sweat and tears couldn't get in the way the ladies, and Feast It's own Superwoman Georgia Derry-Evans runs you through a few of the most inspiring women in street food!
 
## [Club Mexicana:](https://feast-it.com/vendors/club-mexicana?&cuisine[]=Mexican)


![Club-Mexicana-Feast-It-International-womens-day](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/7tL68ywBNKc8AusIQCcQAE/c56ee6d31beee1c93e221120c0b9c398/_MG_1756.jpg)

Club Mexicana, fronted by the amazing Meriel Armitage, create mouthwatering sensational vegan Mexican food. These guys are on a mission to sincerely change public opinion that vegan food is just lentils and lettuce! The food is unforgettable; filled with bright colours and bold flavours. We’re not the only ones who love these guys, The Evening Standard seem to think that they’ve succeeded, rating their tacos in London’s top 3, while Buzzfeed placed them in a list of 21 street food traders who will change your life. They want to be remembered as ‘that amazing stall, who made my day 100% better, with awesome food – that just happened to be vegan’. 

## [Bel and Brisket: ](https://feast-it.com/vendors/the-bell-and-brisket)


![The-Bell-and-Brisket-Feast-It-International-Womens-Day](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/4fnNrEyBNKCKqEsGmwCMs8/8cb5c6863eb699a4bd00bc3ace3e878a/The-Bell-and-Brisket.jpg)

Bel Shapiro, the wonderful founder of The Bell and Brisket creates delicious pimped up salt beef bagels. Since they started out in 2011 they’ve won prizes from the London Lifestyle Awards, The Grab and Go Awards and placed in Time Out’s list of the top 10 dishes in London. On Women's Independence day why not treat yourself to the very fitting ‘The Queen Bagel’ on Bel's menu!

## [Zoe’s Ghana Kitchen:](https://feast-it.com/vendors/zoes-ghana-kitchen)


![Zoes-Ghana-Kitchen-Feast-It](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/4NoJEqlrM4kAaUMWocMuYY/03b77a4cbd84a57abcc3e68d365f7b54/12279222_902679763161798_3421242257629117587_n__1_.jpg)

Zoe’s Ghana Kitchen is so much more than a ‘pop-up restaurant’. Zoe Adjonyoh cooks from the heart, plating up traditional Ghanian food in a contemporary fashion. She is most proud of serving her food at major festivals such as Camp Bestival, Shambala and Secret Garden party. Her top tip for anyone trying to breaking into the industry would be, ‘Definitely get some work experience with traders you admire and who are doing something similar to what you'd like to be doing - I wish I'd done that!’ 

You can find her amazing pop up restaurant at Pop Brixton or book her and the amazing Chop Bar to turn up to your event!


## [Stake Haus:](https://feast-it.com/vendors/stakehaus)


![STAKEhaus-Feast-It-Steak-and-Chips](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/5gmY7MyWuA6wSMcSayMMgs/74af16a43e396cfc090fef956341fd14/The_Classic_One__1_.jpg)

The brain behind the amazing STAKEhaus is the quite brilliant Lily Bovey. One sunny weekend at a friends BBQ, Lily suddenly realised that there was a huge gap in the market to cook incredible, well priced steak and chips. The idea grew and grew, and with her marketing background she was able to build the STAKEhaus brand. Not afraid of hard graft, she spent her summer buliding her market stall from scrath, designing and making all her signs. From humble beginnings STAKEhaus has skyrocketed to success!

## [You Doughnut:](https://feast-it.com/vendors/you-doughnut)


![You-Doughnut-Feast-It-Womens-Day](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/18yEJsPhqE0Wq8EUiK6ekM/28d7837a9bf68dc0305c2310cbd77b1a/Mirren_Rosie_You_Doughnut_198__1_.jpg)

The quite extraordinary duo of Betsy Buckner and Joanne Ryan were inspired when then they came up with the idea of selling hand made bite-size doughnuts. We couldn't be happier that they made the decision! They make the freshest douguhts around, covered or filled with tasty toppings and sauces. They are proud to make these mouthwatering bites, and are seasoned pros on the wedding and party scene!

## [Cupcakes and Shhht: ](http://www.cupcakesandshhht.com/)


![Cupcakes-n-Shhht-Feast-It-Womens-Day](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/39bRpZNRBmcGkIKCq4yWEM/9d6b95a2ee2a531af56349d99e5e2f7b/Cupcakes-n-Shhht.jpg)

Sophie Beale and Caitlyn Badham-Thornhill co founded Cupcakes and Shhht from a love of good food. These two women are a force to be reckoned with. Not only do they make all the raw and vegan products themselves, but they also design their signs, coming up with new and exciting recipes. “I’m always shocked with Sophie’s contribution to the business through her sense of humour. Nothing prepares me for some of the product ideas I’ve stumbled across.  It really gives me that extra oomph on a long day.” – Caitlyn Badham-Thornhill

Feast It's own Superwoman Georgia Derry-Evans on some of the amazing women on the scene

The inspiring women taking street food by storm

Picture the scene at a wedding, it's 1am and your guest's stamina is finally starting to flag. The energy that came from the dinner at 8 is beginning to wear off and the dance floor's looking a little emptier than it did an hour ago. Essentially, you're getting to the dregs of the party and, unless your guests are delivered the sustenance for a second wave, it's game over by 2am...

And then, cresting some sort of hill, a food truck appears. Your well lubricated guests gather around in dire need of food and are plentifully rewarded with gourmet steak and chips, bacon butties, ice cream sandwiches or whatever it is that you've decided to go for. The party's back on and the dancing can go on until sunrise!

Here at Feast It, we're huge fans of the late night food option when it comes to events, so we've compiled a list of a few of our amazing traders who are particularly well suited to the graveyard/headliner shift. We hope it's of use!



## __STAKEhaus__



![Feast-It-STAKEhaus-steak-and-chips](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/4F0VCObEg0cQUyUwoEUuG2/3bbccabc5a00262da87821dd013d6a4b/The_Classic_One.jpg)

STAKEhaus, fronted by the amazing Lily Bovey are all about one thing, serving up a little bit of the good stuff. Their delicious street food style bavette steak and chips is as good as anything you'll find in swanky London restaurant joints and comes in at a price that'll drop your jaw; vegetarians are also covered with their innovative courgette fries. There's no doubt about which part of the evening guests will be reminiscing about come the morning if you get these guys to roll up in the early hours.

See their Feast It profile and book them for your event [here](https://feast-it.com/vendors/stakehaus?&cuisine[]=British).

## __Le Swine__



![Le-Swine-Bacon-Butties-Event-Catering](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/4J3ltRh1SEiMQ0YCOSo6yq/59354bb0ad3b125408e8e8f5a8265f96/LeSwine-1398.jpg)

Gourmet Bacon Butties, served from a 1960s ambulance. Any more questions? 

Every single part of their notorious butties has been homemade, from the signature milk and onion bap to the bacon butter and mushroom ketchup or tomato and horseradish sauce! As for the bacon, it comes from the happiest and healthiest fat piggies the country has to offer, served with a runny fried duck egg. Let's be honest, is there anything more British than late night bacon at a boozy party?

Check them out [here](https://feast-it.com/vendors/le-swine?&cuisine[]=British).

## __Sorbitium Ices__



![Sorbitium-Ices-Feast-It-Ice-Cream](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/45pPY8puQoUO06eA2EQKOC/e5b793a41b6404b264011f276e5295ff/pasted_image_0__4_.png)

Ranked in Time Out's '10 most lickable ice creams' and we're more than happy to attest! Sorbitium have created some of the most interesting flavours out there from Tamarind and Tequila Granita to Matcha Tea and Bronte Pistachio Ice Cream. Boring is not their thing.

They serve from their unbelievably gorgeous Citroen van and will bring out the child in your guests if you get them to roll up in the early hours!

Book them [here](https://feast-it.com/vendors/sorbitium-ices?&cuisine[]=Dessert)!

## __Wholefood Heaven__



![Wholefood-Heaven-Feast-It-Street-Food](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/3d4tcD0ScM2wyCsCieMM0W/4a5aef780297a7cbd6da75ea85f87420/authorpic2.jpg)

For the more health-conscious out there, it doesn't get any better than the multi-award winning Wholefood Heaven. Their Buddha Bowl won the prestigious 'Best Dish' at the 2015 British Street Food Awards and, while it's more than a match for any meat dish out there when it comes to taste, it can give your guests the healthy kick they need to keep on going right on through the night.

Book them and their Buddha Bowls right [here](https://feast-it.com/vendors/whole-foods-heaven?&cuisine[]=Salads).

## __Dirty Burger__



![Dirty-Burger-Feast-It-Burger-Catering](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/1MJdR3IEbCYI6GosmGgAOe/9aeea37d0ee1ebface7adbbd8b6c454b/Photo_03-07-2014__15_04_41.jpg)

We genuinely feel like it's almost overkill to have to explain why you'd want Dirty and their world famous burgers along to your event for the late night shift. Fundamentally, the burgers are dripping, delicious and dirty and incidentally, David Bowie was a huge fan! If they're good enough for the Starman, they're good enough for your boozed up wedding guests! 

Check out their prices and menu [here](https://feast-it.com/vendors/dirty-burger?&cuisine[]=Burgers)
