Christmas Party Venues in Palm Beach

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

A December work lunch at Jonah's means a clifftop dining room above Whale Beach, with the Pacific filling the windows. The restaurant and boutique hotel sit at 69 Bynya Road, a short drive from Palm Beach village, and have been part of the headland since opening as a roadhouse in 1929.

Events run Thursday to Sunday, the days the restaurant and hotel open, so a Thursday or Friday suits a team that wants its Christmas function during the working week.

How Jonah's handles a work Christmas:

11 to 20 on the team: book the restaurant on the group three-course menu, from $155 per person
Everyone at once: the dining room, bar, terrace and clifftop gardens together hold 122
The executive table: the inner terrace, one table for up to 14
The bar bill: pick a beverage package tier or pre-pay a tab
Out-of-town staff: ocean-view hotel rooms for anyone staying over

Menus scale from two or three courses, served alternately or by choice, to a degustation or a cocktail-style event.

Pre-lunch canapés are served on the terrace for anything from half an hour to an hour and a half
Jonah's provides a planning checklist so the organiser can lock in timings, speeches and music
TV and presentation facilities and Wi-Fi are available for a short year-in-review
Seafood stations and an oyster bar can be added to the menu

Why teams make the trip north

Jonah's sits at the far northern end of the Northern Beaches, so the day feels like an outing rather than after-work drinks
The clifftop gardens give the team a spot for a group photo with Whale Beach below
Booking a hotel room removes the long drive home after a big lunch
The bar's open fireplace in the original 1929 dining room gives the party a second room to move into
