Christmas Party Venues in Yarraville

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Staying local for the work Christmas party is easy in Yarraville at The Victoria Hotel, 188 Hyde Street. The 1873 pub's functions team runs everything from intimate dinners to full parties, across two private rooms that each have a bar.

For a December team night, the room choice comes down to whether staff will be seated at tables or mingling.

Planning the office Christmas function:

Presentations first: the year in review can run on the Hyde Room's ceiling screens, with a cordless mic for the boss, before the drinks start.
A seated team dinner: the Victoria Room seats 90 under its skylights, the Hyde Room 60.
Standing drinks: either room holds up to 120 on their feet.
Smaller teams: the semi-private Nook in the bistro takes up to 30.
Catering: share-style or alternate-drop set menus once the team numbers 20, or canapés from $37 per person.

Organisers can set a bar tab, choose a drinks package or let staff buy their own at a cash bar, depending on the budget.

The Hyde Room has its own private entrance, so the team can arrive without walking through the bistro.
The Victoria Room comes with its own bathrooms as well as its own bar.
Air conditioning helps on warm December evenings.
Free wi-fi helps if a remote colleague needs to join the toasts on screen.

Menus for mixed seniority

Share-style set menus come in two or three courses.
Alternate-drop menus suit a more formal sit-down for managers and staff alike.
Grazing tables, platters and dessert stations work for a standing party.
Substantial items can be added to a canapé package for a longer night.
