Christmas Party Venues in Armadale

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

End-of-year functions on High Street, Armadale can have a level to themselves at The Orrong Hotel, the rebuilt Art Deco pub on the corner at number 709. Take both upstairs rooms and the team has the whole top floor plus its bar, room for 110 standing.

Because the minimum spend moves with the time of year, the day and the hour, compare a weeknight in late November with a Friday in December before settling the date.

Matching the room to the size of the team:

Leadership lunch or a small team: the Robbie Flower Room upstairs seats 30, fully private, for a sit-down meal away from the bar.
A department dinner: the larger upstairs room, Krakouer Bro's, takes 50 at the table for shared entrées and a choice of main, or 70 for drinks.
The whole office: both upstairs rooms together give 110 standing and a private bar, so the party has its own floor.
Year-in-review slides: the covered courtyard has a projector screen and fits 50 standing, and the pub has TV and presentation facilities.
Casual Friday drinks: downstairs, the Barassi Room takes 50 standing at tall tables, semi-private but still part of the bar's buzz.

For 20 or more, canapés are priced from $30 per person. Drinks can be set as a package for a fixed time, a tab or pay-as-you-go, so the organiser chooses how the round is paid for.

The host covers a minimum spend in every space, quoted on enquiry for your date and time.
Mingling teams can graze on canapé selections, while a seated dinner with speeches suits shared entrées and a choice of main.
If the set options don't fit the team, the kitchen is open to a custom menu on request.
A deposit secures an upstairs booking, so lock in the date once numbers are roughly known.

Mixed-seniority teams and the speeches

Once the speeches wrap up, music can take over through the pub's sound system, and DJs are welcome.
Seated together upstairs, 50 colleagues share one meal, which helps new starters and senior staff mix.
The courtyard's projector screen handles a slideshow or the team's thank-yous, with seating for 20 under cover.
For a team that wants the pub atmosphere, the Barassi Room downstairs seats 30 at tall tables and chairs.
