What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

For a Balwyn team that wants a sit-down Christmas lunch rather than a late night, Birichino at 355 Whitehorse Road is an Italian cucina and pizzeria that hosts private functions once a group passes 25. Its team of Italians keeps the cooking simple and ingredient-led, served as shared set menus.

Planning the end-of-year function at Birichino:

  • Weekday team lunch: the whole restaurant can be reserved for a lunch event every day but Friday, with function service from midday to 4pm.
  • After-work dinner: dinner functions run from 5pm to 9pm, and Monday is the night the whole room can be closed for your team.
  • Everyone at one table: the room's long tables keep the whole team, juniors and managers alike, at the same meal.
  • Drinks with nibbles: for a stand-up end-of-year catch-up, grazing spreads are laid out along the bar.
  • Fridays in December: larger groups dining on a Friday, Saturday or public holiday order from the set menu.

Set menus are priced from $50 per person, and the higher menu finishes with a shared dessert board and coffee. The restaurant is fully licensed, pouring Italian and Australian wines, spritzes and negronis.

What the team will eat

  • Courses arrive shared: cured meats and fried antipasto such as arancini, croquettes and calamari first, followed by pizza and pasta between every two guests.
  • Staff with special requirements can be catered for through a custom menu built by the kitchen.
  • Choosing the higher menu adds dessert and coffee to round off a long lunch.
  • An espresso martini or a round of Italian beers works for the end-of-year toast.

Booking around December

  • Lunch is the most flexible slot, available for a whole-restaurant event every day but Friday.
  • Monday dinner suits teams that can't get away at lunchtime and want the restaurant to themselves.
  • Groups above 25 are treated as private functions, so give a firm headcount when you enquire.
  • Enquire with the date and headcount, and the menu is planned with you from there.
