Christmas Party Venues in Mosman

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

December work parties on the lower North Shore rarely need to leave Mosman. A team based near Military Road can walk to Hotel Mosman at number 634 or The Buena, while a bigger crew can head down Spit Road to the marina, where Chiosco by Ormeggio sits next door to its sister restaurant, Ormeggio at The Spit, and Function Room @ The Boathouse at the Spit caters for company-wide numbers.

Settle first on a sit-down thank-you or a stand-up party, since the suburb's rooms split cleanly between the two, and look at a Tuesday to Thursday in late November if the whole team can't make a December Friday.

Team size and the Mosman room that fits it:

A leadership dinner for up to 22: The Good Room @ Bathers' Pavilion on The Esplanade, a private room off the main restaurant, from $125 per person, with drinks charged on consumption.
A small office of 20 to 50: Hotel Mosman's function managers put together canapés or a set menu for that range, and the pub's upper level has a balcony overlooking Boronia House's gardens.
A department of around 80: Gili Rooftop @ Taronga Zoo takes 80 cocktail-style or seats 60, with a private timber bar and a terrace looking across to the city.
A mid-sized team watching the budget: canapé packages at The Buena start from $45 per person, with Gold and Platinum drinks packages that run for two hours.
The whole company: 450 fit standing in Function Room @ The Boathouse at the Spit, from $195 per person, with a PA, a projector and Wi-Fi.

Mosman Rowers on Mosman Bay suits a team that likes to spread out, with three rooms over three levels, each with its own balcony; anything over 30 books a space exclusively, and minimum spends apply.

Bluebird Room & Deck @ St Siandra runs the awards on its screens and AV, then moves drinks out to a deck over the beach; 85 fit standing, and canapés there start from $60 per person.
The Boathouse room includes TV and presentation facilities, a microphone and a sound system, and events can start from 8am if a planning session comes first.
Gili Rooftop's conference layout for 48 handles a quick recap of the year before the room becomes a cocktail party.
The Buena offers a TV connection, but microphones and AV equipment aren't allowed in its function areas, so keep speeches brief.

Menus and bar tabs for a work crowd

Exclusive events at Ormeggio at The Spit start from $119 per person for a four-course Chef's Pick, with tiered drinks packages and an optional Aperol Spritz on arrival.
Chiosco by Ormeggio runs semi-exclusive and exclusive functions as a lunch from 12pm to 4pm or a dinner from 6pm to 10pm, with feasts from $89 per person.
First Floor Dining Room @ Pasture of Balmoral is booked for three hours at lunch or dinner for up to 42, from $85 per person, which suits a long Christmas lunch by the beach.
Mosman Rowers lets smaller groups pay by cash bar, tab or drinks package, and its events team builds catering around canapés or seated menus.
