Christmas Party Venues in Bentleigh

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Format decides most Bentleigh work Christmas parties: a seated Italian lunch or dinner for a small team, or a stand-up function upstairs for a bigger one. TÁVOLA at 309 Centre Road handles the first, The Bentleigh Social at Level 1/401 Centre Road the second.

TÁVOLA serves a two-course end-of-year menu at $89 per person, while The Bentleigh Social quotes full-venue hire by season, day and time.

Which set-up fits your team:

Up to roughly 33 colleagues – TÁVOLA hires out the whole dining room, usually set at long tables.
A whole office of 80 to 180 – The Bentleigh Social opens its entire first floor for full-venue hire.
A department of 30 to 50 sitting together – The Bentleigh Social's banquette bench takes them seated.
A Thursday-to-Sunday work lunch – TÁVOLA serves lunch from 12 pm to 2.30 pm on those days.
After-work drinks for 20 to 80 – the bar tables at The Bentleigh Social suit a stand-up crowd.

To get a quote, enquire through Party Hero with the December day you have in mind and how many are coming.

TÁVOLA's end-of-year menu at $89 per person starts with shared entrées, then each guest picks a main, with shared sides.
The Bentleigh Social prices private hire as a minimum spend when its kitchen caters, or as a hire fee if you bring your own catering.
A bar tab at The Bentleigh Social can be capped at a limit you choose, or guests can buy their own drinks.
TÁVOLA is fully licensed, and other set menus are sent on request if the two-course menu doesn't suit.

The Bentleigh Social's canapé packages for 30 or more run from arancini and rice paper rolls to lamb kofta.
