Christmas Party Venues in Kingston & the Channel

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Staff Christmas plans in Kingston & the Channel come down to two quite different days. In Woodbridge, Peppermint Bay pairs a cruise with a set lunch for a small team; at Kingston Beach, The Salty Dog Hotel handles everything from a work lunch to a full-company party.

Team size settles most of the choice.

Comparing the region's two Christmas options:

Teams of up to 20: the Woodbridge outing combines a return cruise from the Hobart waterfront with a set-menu lunch at Peppermint Bay.
A department lunch: the dedicated function room at Kingston Beach is set up for work lunches.
Whole-company events: the beach pub hands over its bar and garden for a private group anywhere from 100 to 250.
Transport is built in at Woodbridge thanks to the cruise; at Kingston Beach, arrange a coach or booked driver for a team that's drinking.
Entertainment differs: the beach pub offers AV, a band or a DJ, while the Channel lunch centres on the trip and the meal.

Kingston & the Channel Christmas Party Venues

Peppermint Bay sits on the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, with lawns down to the water and in-house chefs cooking seasonal Tasmanian produce.
The Kingston Beach pub has a north-facing beer garden with umbrellas and a heated, enclosed deck for cooler days.
Menus: a fixed set lunch at Woodbridge, against a choice at Kingston Beach that spans oysters and platters through to ordering from the menu.
Drinks at the pub can run as a bar tab with sparkling on arrival; Peppermint Bay offers drink packages.

Planning tips for a Channel-region staff party

The Woodbridge cruise runs before Christmas only, so ask early which dates are on offer.
For a team between 20 and 100, ask The Salty Dog Hotel how its function room fits that number.
Collect dietary needs early; a set menu and a function kitchen both need notice.
Wheelchair access is listed at Kingston Beach; ask Peppermint Bay about access on the cruise and at the venue.
