Christmas Deliveries/Collection and Steak Pies for New Year!

After much deliberation and wishing to put my family time first at Christmas, we now have the Christmas Menus available online but with big changes. Some of the food will be frozen in the week leading up to the deliveries/collection on Sunday 22nd December. You simply put in your fridge to defrost and all will be good for Christmas Day. The veg will be supplied for you to cook fresh on Christmas Eve or Day.
We are going to cut way back on what we would normally do and will be on a first come first served basis.

We will deliver to Prestonpans/Port Seton, Tranent, Haddington and then East to Dunbar followed by the coast back to Longniddry. If you are in the surrounding areas away from the main towns then we could arrange to meet at an agreed time. Just message and we will do our best for you.

Steak pies will be delivered on the 15th December and a new page will be made on the Craig Wood Catering Website which is due a major refurbishment. These can be frozen

🎅🏻 Christmas party nights.

Just a quick update- Thank you to those that have replied and paid over the weekend for the Saturday nights!
I had a 20 hour shift at a wedding yesterday then back up to finish cleaning so will reply tomorrow.

It looks like we have a couple of tables available for the Saturday nights.
Will confirm all tomorrow night.

Friday 6th December has over 80 booked so we have opened up Friday 29th November with the Aberlady Sessions band. Provisionally around 50 booked so far. We will push the advertising next week so best to get in quick.

Going forward in future years - (subject to availability), we will open all dates on 1st September on a first come first served basis.

Really looking forward to the party nights this year. Such a good atmosphere, excellent food, licensed bar and East Lothians very own talented musicians to get you up dancing 🕺🏻💃

Aberlady Party Night 2023. Live entertainment, first class food, licensed bar, great atmosphere! More of the same this year 😀🕺🏻💃🎄

Christmas Party Nights -
Just keeping you updated - we have had a lot of confirmations paid for the Saturday nights. We have until next week to confirm or the spaces will be opened up on a first come first served basis. Friday 6th December is looking good at 70 booked, so if we fill the 3 dates then we will add Friday 29th November with the Aberlady Sessions Band. We provisionally have around 35 interested already as they can not make the 6th.
Will know more next week and try and get you all booked in 😀

Christmas party nights Menu and Info so far

I have emailed those that intimated a table for the party nights on Saturday 30th November and Saturday 7th December. Both are potentially full with waiting lists so be great if we can confirm your table within the next two weeks by making full payment. If not confirmed then we will offer to those on the waiting list! Sorry for pushing but we did not expect this to be so popular (although it is a great party night and at £40 - just incredible value)
Friday 6th is half full and taking bookings now. If we fill all 3 dates then we have the potential to add Friday 29th November with the Aberlady sessions band. Now I know how Take That feel with adding extra dates. Rock and roll!
Talking of Rock and Roll - I was told that the Aberlady Sessions band have been practicing a few big dancing tunes! S*x on Fire being one of them. Can't wait to hear them again.

keep in touch and we will see where we are by Monday 19th August for availability on the Saturdays and also any further bookings for the great Mark McCluskey, fresh from Vegas on Friday 6th December

Confetti Wedding Awards once more! That has come around rather quickly. They aren't until January but the voting and judging happens long before the ceremony. We would like to go for the Best Wedding Menu Caterer category again. We were Highly Recommended last year, however we would love to be recognised as the best out there. We need your votes though, so it would be greatly appreciated if you could click on the link and show your support! ❤

Last few dates remaining for 2025

14/07/2024

Party nights 🎅🏻
Just a heads up that both Saturday nights are potentially full. It will be tables of 12 and will be £40 per head. You may be on a shared table for the meal but still next to your friends/colleagues if not in multiples of 12. I will send emails with menu and booking details to those that have intimated interest in 3 weeks time when we have a wedding free week. Looking forward to another great festive season in Aberlady Hall 🎉💃🕺🏻

At the beginning of the year, we advised that we didn’t think we would do Christmas Eve deliveries as I wanted to be with my family! Well we definitely won’t be doing Christmas Eve, however we’ve had an idea - and it really works! 👌
We made a Christmas dinner two weeks ago and froze it down. All we had to do today was cook the roasters (they were peeled and par boiled before freezing) and then the rest all went in the oven as normal. The roast carrots and parsnips were full of flavour and a nice texture. Roasters were light and fluffy. Turkey, stuffing and kilted sausages as you would expect!
The sticky toffee worked as normal as did the apple crumble!
So the plan…… we will deliver on the weekend of 15th December. You just pop it in your freezer and take it out on the 23rd. Full instructions will be provided as normal!
We have a steak pie in the freezer just now and will take that out for dinner during the week so hopefully you can get your pie fix for Boxing Day and New Year’s Day as well! I’ll hopefully be somewhere hot but I’ll try and find a restaurant serving steak pie for my fix 😀🎉
We’ll keep you posted later in the year as to menu, when and where to order.
