Christmas Party Venues in Footscray

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

For a December work function in Footscray, The Station Hotel on Napier Street can fit the event to the size of the team rather than the other way round. Its functions team books seven areas, from one deck in the beer garden to the whole restaurant.

A late-afternoon knock-off in the garden and a seated end-of-year dinner can both be arranged here.

Sizing the office party:

Small team – the main bar, set up for cocktail-style drinks with 50 standing or 20 seated
One department – Deck 2 in the beer garden, for 40 standing
Several departments – half the garden, for around 75
Whole company – the beer garden hired exclusively, with its own outdoor bar, for 150
Seated thank-you dinner – the restaurant, booked in sections or taken over for 80

Food packages apply to groups of 20 or more, starting from $40 per person for canapés.

A bar tab with a limit set by the organiser can be lifted during the night if the party runs on
Timed drinks packages of two to four hours give a fixed figure for the budget
A cash bar suits a team where people buy their own once the tab is done
Canapé packages scale from six items up to ten, with extra substantial items for a longer evening

Food for a mixed team

Shared set menus in two and three courses suit a sit-down dinner with a few words from the boss
The butcher's menu brings shared steak boards to the table
The kitchen is known for its steaks, and the menu leans French and changes through the year
Screens and semi-covered seating in the beer garden suit an afternoon function
