As festive season pressure builds, venues often turn to Relief Hospitality Staff to help deliver seamless service. Whether it’s a pub Sunday lunch, a hotel Christmas party, or a private gathering on the lakeside, the demand for calm, capable hands behind the scenes is at its peak.
That’s where Ginger Hospitality’s Relief Brigade shines. Recently, our team supported a festive private event at The Lake District Boat Club in Bowness on Windermere, delivering Chefs and Front of House staff who helped keep everything flowing in one of the region’s most beautiful (and logistically tricky) locations.
A Private Christmas Event with a View
The Lake District Boat Club is known for its community, setting and scenery. Nestled in the heart of Cumbria, it sits right on the edge of Lake Windermere, offering the perfect backdrop for a celebration.
As the club prepared to host an event for members and guests, they needed relief hospitality staff who could integrate quickly, work professionally, and handle a high-standard evening service, all without the luxury of time or easy access.

How Relief Hospitality Staff from Ginger Made It Happen
Ginger Hospitality provided multiple Chefs and Front of House staff for the evening. The logistics were no small task, getting temporary event staff to a lakeside venue on time, with clear expectations and a calm mindset.
But this is what Ginger does best. Our team worked closely with the client to understand the needs of the event, then mobilised experienced relief staff from our Cumbria and Northwest network. Everyone arrived on time, ready to step in and support the team on site.
It wasn’t just about filling shifts. It was about making the event feel seamless with no compromise on quality or guest experience.

A Client Testimonial That Says It All
After the event, we received this message from the organiser:
“Can I just thank you for your excellent service and for the quality of the staff you provided us with. I cannot praise them enough, they were just fabulous. Having been in the industry for 46 years I know providing temporary staff is not easy and fraught with all sorts of challenges. However, you rose to them brilliantly. I will definitely be using your services again.”
— Catherine Anderson, Lake District Boat Club
Feedback like this means everything, not just because it validates the work of our Relief Staff, but because it shows how trusted hospitality staffing can make all the difference at the busiest time of year.
