Christmas Party Venues in Bobs Farm

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

End-of-year parties in Bobs Farm head to Cookabarra Restaurant and Function Centre, a family property on Marsh Road. It runs as a barramundi farm and lunch restaurant by day, and after dark it hosts booked private functions only.

What Cookabarra brings to a work Christmas function:

Room for the whole company: 300-plus guests fit for a cocktail-style party.
Presentation gear: a projector and sound system cover the end-of-year speech and the year-in-review slides.
Breakout space: corporate groups can use separate areas for sessions before the celebration starts.
A cool room in December: the function room is air-conditioned, with the covered veranda alongside.
Safe travel home: the team can help organise coaches to collect and return staff.

Share your preferred date, menu ideas and numbers when you enquire, and the team will shape the night around them.

Barramundi raised on the property features on modern Australian and Mediterranean menus.
Canapés like oysters, sliders and spinach and cheese triangles suit a standing party.
A plated dinner works for a team that wants to sit down together.
Dietary needs are covered with gluten-free and vegetarian choices.
