Christmas Party Venues in Morpeth

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Swan Street's Commercial Hotel Morpeth and Green Street's Boydell's give this river town two strong choices for a work Christmas function: a heritage pub with four function areas, and a winery restaurant hired out in full for a seated end-of-year lunch or dinner.

Matching your team to a Morpeth venue:

Up to 50, seated and a little formal: Boydell's exclusive hire, from $7,000 minimum spend, for Thursday to Saturday lunch or dinner and Sunday lunch
Over 20 wanting a sit-down meal on a tighter budget: the Commercial's two- or three-course menus from $40 per person
A bigger, more casual workplace: the Commercial's beer garden or Middle Bar, each up to 80
A private corner with its own bar: upstairs at the Commercial, 40 seated or 60 cocktail-style
Corporate experience: Boydell's names corporate functions and lunches among the events it hosts

December dates are worth securing early, particularly Friday lunches. Boydell's adds a surcharge on Sundays and public holidays, so a Thursday or Friday can sit better with the budget.

Catering your way: any combination of grazing boards, 30-piece platters and the two combo packages
Alternate-drop dining: a two-course or three-course option for seated groups over 20
Summer setting: the beer garden sits under a large fig tree, with the Middle Bar as the plan B
Upstairs: the verandah, two cosy rooms and Miss Mullens Bar form a private area for the team

Boydell's for a thank-you lunch

Set menu: three courses from seasonal, locally sourced produce, alternate-drop or share-style
Wine packages: the estate's regional range or its reserve range, both with local beer
Arrival: canapés can be added as guests come in
Admin: a per-person deposit secures the date, with final numbers and dietaries due 10 days ahead
