Christmas Party Venues in Lane Cove

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Office teams around Lane Cove can keep the end-of-year celebration local, with three restaurants in the village that each list Christmas or work dinners among their events. They differ most on cuisine and on how the group is served: Spanish share plates, French canapés or a Middle Eastern set menu.

A December booking also has to suit the night: Garçon Lane Cove serves dinner Thursday to Saturday, while Lillah Kitchen opens for dinner Tuesday to Sunday.

Matching the team to the room:

A whole company of 100: book out Lillah Kitchen entirely, day or night
A department dinner: Encasa Lane Cove's Fiesta Room seats 35 downstairs and suits work dinners of small to medium size
Stand-up drinks after work: Garçon runs cocktail-style functions, with canapé packages from $36 per person
A lunch instead of a night: Garçon's set lunch, or Lillah's weekend lunch
Part of a restaurant: Lillah books sections as a private dining area

On per-head budgets, Encasa's share menus start from $55 per person and Lillah's set menu is from $69 per person, both served to the table to share.

Encasa Lane Cove: bread with tomato, charcuterie, bravas, calamari and meatballs, with paella and beef cheeks on the larger menu
Garçon Lane Cove: seven or nine canapé choices, or a set dinner with shared starters
Lillah Kitchen: Aleppo pepper squid, chicken shawarma and harissa potatoes, with vegan and gluten-free versions marked
Drinks: sangria, cava and Estrella Damm at Encasa; sparkling, rosé and local beers at Garçon; Middle Eastern and local beers at Lillah
