Christmas Party Venues in Penrith

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Teams of 80 or more can take Penrith Golf Club's terrace exclusively for the end-of-year function, overlooking the fairways off The Northern Road, about 700 metres from the M4. Smaller departments have plenty closer to the middle of Penrith, from a library-themed bar on High Street to Italian restaurants on Tindale and Henry streets.

Most price food per head, which makes a December budget easy to model.

Sorting the options by team:

Whole company, seated: Product of Italy Penrith seats 156 across the restaurant, with set menus from $35 per person
Drinks with a twist: Mr Watkins, whose bar list runs past 70 cocktails, takes whole or part-venue bookings any day
Commuters: Red Cow Hotel faces Penrith Station, and its Station View Room seats 60 or holds 90 standing
Client dinner: Marcel Bar & Bistro's private dining room seats 16, with group menus from $95 per person
A mid-sized dinner: Tins & Wood's Olive Room takes up to 50, with its banquet from $42.50 per person

Marcel reserves lunch service for group bookings and special events, so a Christmas lunch is possible there, though daytime private events carry a minimum spend.

Penrith Golf Club: a three-course sit-down meal or a buffet, adjusted for dietary requirements
Red Cow Hotel: canapé packages, a sports package of wings, sliders and pizza, and share boards
Tins & Wood: three- or four-course set menus with barramundi, lamb shoulder or veal among the mains
Mr Watkins: sharing plates from chefs Rod Parbery and Wayne Jenkins
