Christmas Party Venues in Southern Coast

End-of-year staff parties on the Southern Coast are listed at two Mandurah Terrace pubs, so the choice is about scale and style rather than suburb. The Brighton Hotel works as a set of six rooms that can merge into one event, while Murphy's Irish Pub hosts functions of 10 to 150.

Both cater with canapés and platters, so the question is how many staff you are bringing and how formal the meal should be.

Choosing between the two coast Christmas venues by team size:

• Under 50 staff: 40 fit on The Brighton Hotel's front deck or under its dome, and Murphy's takes groups from 10.
• Around 80: The Brighton Hotel's Eatery is an exposed-brick dining room with its own bar.
• Up to 150: a whole floor plan at Murphy's Irish Pub, indoors and out.
• Several hundred: The Brighton Hotel links its six spaces into one event.
• Canapés start from $18 per person at The Brighton Hotel, while Murphy's two-course set menu is from $37 per person.
