Christmas Party Venues in Caringbah

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Sutherland Shire workplaces wanting an end-of-year party close to home have two quite different choices in Caringbah: a multi-level bar and function venue on MacKay Street, and a long-running seafood restaurant on President Avenue.

Matching the team to the space:

Up to 120 standing guests: Highfield Caringbah joins its Garden Room, Private Dining Room and balcony, with canapé menus from $30 per person.
A seated end-of-year dinner: Lively Catch hosts corporate parties of 50 to 100 in its dining room, with party menus from $80 per person.
A presentation before the drinks: Highfield's spaces have TVs, adjustable audio and a microphone, depending on the room.
A smaller team: seat 20 to 35 in Highfield's Private Dining Room, which has its own balcony.
Outdoor summer drinks: Highfield's Terrace holds 30 to 120 and looks towards the city skyline.

Lively Catch serves dinner from Tuesday to Saturday and lunch on Sunday, so a weeknight in late November or December fits its hours, while Highfield's Saturday DJ on the Terrace suits a team that wants to dance.

Canapé packages at Highfield have a 30-guest minimum and range from five pieces per person up to substantial items and a grazing table.
For a seated Highfield dinner there is a shared set menu served to the table, with a dessert add-on, plus three-hour drinks packages.
Lively Catch can set long banquet tables or keep separate round and square settings for different teams.
The Lively Catch wine list runs from Australian sparkling to French champagne, or bottled wine can be brought in for corkage.

Notes for whoever is organising

Lively Catch doesn't split the bill and adds 1% to card payments, so plan on a single payment.
Staff pick their meal on the day at Lively Catch, after you narrow the menu to four options per course beforehand.
Highfield's spaces come with private bars, depending on the room.
Lively Catch sits near Caringbah station, around five minutes away on foot.
