Christmas Party Venues in Stanmore

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Close to Stanmore Station and a long way from the CBD function circuit, The Salisbury Hotel is where inner west teams can see out the year in a pub that has stood on Percival Road since 1899. The Courtyard is its usual pick for Christmas parties, with room for 90 and its own bar close at hand.

Inside the split-level building are the bistro and the live sport, and out the back is a beer garden that has had a refresh.

Sizing the end-of-year function to a Salisbury space:

Up to 90: the Courtyard, with a blend of high and low seating.
Up to 50: the semi-private Hall and Loft, whose large TV handles the year-in-review.
Up to 40 outdoors: the Cobblestones, under a retractable awning.
Up to 40 by the bar: eight booths for a relaxed team catch-up.
Accessible arrival: a step-free way in off Percival Lane.

The Friday to Sunday minimum spend on food and drinks is a good reason for a tight team budget to look at Mondays through Thursdays across the festive weeks.

Charcuterie, cheese, antipasti and fruit on the grazing table set up the early part of the night.
Canapé platters include coconut prawns, salt and pepper squid, party pies, rice paper rolls and sushi.
Skewers and sliders come in lots of 20 or 30.
Pizzas cut into 16 slices stretch the budget for a larger group.
