Christmas Party Venues in Battery Point

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

End-of-year dinners in Battery Point split neatly by team size. A crew of 8 to 26 fits one of the enclosed rooms at the Shipwrights Arms Hotel, a corner pub on Trumpeter Street, while Ball & Chain Grill on Salamanca Place stretches to 65 seated or about 80 standing upstairs.

Matching your work Christmas to a room:

Trim, at the Shipwrights Arms Hotel, seats up to 16 with a minimum of 8, which suits a small office or a single department.
Mer, the pub's larger enclosed room, takes up to 26 and needs at least 15 booked; both rooms were once separate cottages.
Ball & Chain Grill counts end-of-year functions among its events, with three rooms above the main dining room.
Set menus of two or three courses at the grill run from $60 per person for groups of ten or more.
Hot and cold canapés from the grill's list cover a stand-up Christmas drinks in place of a seated meal.

The kitchen at Shippies builds its menu on Tasmanian seafood and local produce, and the front bar pours local beer from nine taps.
Ball & Chain Grill cooks Tasmanian beef, lamb, pork and seafood over charcoal alone, with no gas or electric heat.
For a team that wants drinks settled up front, the grill arranges packages from house wine through to its premium cellar list.
Ball & Chain Grill caters for gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan staff; raise any needs with the Shipwrights Arms Hotel when booking.
