The galette des rois and the new year address: when to serve it, with which drinks
For 30 people at L'Écrin Traiteur: 5 galettes, 6 L of apple juice and 5 flasks, €417 excl. VAT delivered. When to serve the galette, and with what.
At L'Écrin Traiteur, a new year galette for 30 people means 5 galettes, 6 litres of Alain Milliat apple juice and 5 flasks of coffee and tea, for €417 excl. VAT delivery and collection included. The galette is served at the end of the new year address (the vœux), after the speech: at the end of breakfast or as an afternoon break. Here are the right moment, the drinks and the budget. The full format of the address is in the guide the new year address at work; the galette has its own page: galette des rois at work.
At what time of day should you serve the galette during the address?
At the end, once the speech is over. The galette is a short moment, shared standing up: it closes the address without replacing it.
- Morning address: breakfast on arrival, speech around 9:30 am, galette around 10 am, back to work.
- Afternoon address: speech around 3:30 pm, galette as the afternoon break around 4 pm.
- Evening address: the galette comes last, after the savoury reception, in the final quarter of an hour.
Galette at the end of breakfast or as an afternoon break?
In the morning, the galette comes after the pastries: keep the same rule, one 6-portion galette for 5 to 6 people, as it remains the piece everyone waits for. In the afternoon, it makes the break on its own, with a juice and a coffee. Either way, you order by 10 am the day before and delivery is from 6:30 am. See our breakfasts and our afternoon breaks.
