Following the success of last year’s event, we’re decking the halls of Eat Central once again for a very special evening on Wednesday 9 December.
All staff are invited to come along for a traditional Christmas dinner, festive burgers, seasonal cocktails, and all sorts of other treats and surprises. It’s the perfect way to welcome in the festive season with your team.
We’ll be announcing the menu and ticketing process via the Staff Newsletter in the next few weeks so keep an eye out. Christmas is coming around quickly - save the date now!
Here’s what staff said about last year's event...
"We had a great time at the Sussex Christmas event last night! The decorations were magical (the Sussex in the snow pictures were fantastic!) and the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and joyous. The Sussex Uni Food team did an amazing job and were full of Christmas cheer! There as good music, great food, and some lovely surprises through the evening which kept the party going! We’re already looking ahead to next year!"
"A lot of fun; Brilliant DJ; Great atmosphere; a feast of excellent food; just what was needed; Sussex Uni Good staff were hardworking and cheerful – a credit to the team; Brilliant idea – let’s do it again!"
"Thanks to you and your team for such a fabulous evening. Everyone is raving about it online this morning, so please feed it back to Mark and the team at Eat Central, who worked so hard to make it such a wonderful evening for us all - the decorations, the quality of the food, the disco, the cocktails and all additional little touches, made it such a special evening for us all to come together!"
"Reaching out to say a huge "thank you" to you and your teams for putting on a great party night last night. Well organised, good food and most of all fun."
