Christmas Party Venues in Heidelberg

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

End-of-year gatherings in Heidelberg split into a relaxed pub party for the whole office and a sit-down meal for one department or leadership group. The Lower Heidelberg Road pub and the Burgundy Street restaurant cover both.

It helps to settle the headcount and a preferred date before sending an enquiry through Party Hero.

Choosing the format for the work Christmas function:

Whole company: The E.Bar @ The Old England Hotel gives a crowd of 100 to 180 the bar to itself, with a heated terrace under cover.
A department or leadership team: Little Black Pig & Sons has private rooms with room for 26 or 30 guests, and a combined space for 50.
A small senior table: the Chef's Table at the restaurant's open kitchen bar takes six.
Per-head costs: cocktail food from $26 per person at the bar, against a shared four-course menu at $110 per person once the table reaches seven.
Dietary needs: vegan guests need 48 hours' notice at the restaurant.

Christmas functions turn up regularly among the e.Bar's bookings, while the restaurant's private rooms are laid out for seated lunches and dinners.

Three large flat-screen TVs can show a team slideshow, and the in-house system plays your own playlist.
DJs are welcome if the party needs a proper soundtrack.
The date is held by a deposit, and the company's final headcount is due 72 hours out.
Drinks run as a bar tab, so agree a company limit early with the hotel.

Running the restaurant lunch or dinner

Drinks are ordered on consumption, ideally chosen before the event, and cocktails can be ordered ahead and brought out together as one round.
Larger teams can set up a beverage package, available from 14 guests.
No audio-visual equipment is supplied, so bring your own for speeches with slides.
Outside food and drinks can't be brought in, so organise any extras through the restaurant.
