What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

For a team based in or near the city, The Rocks is one of the easiest places in Sydney to hold a Christmas lunch or dinner. It sits by Circular Quay, where trains, ferries and light rail all meet, so staff from every direction can get there and home without a second thought. The historic harbourside streets also give an end-of-year gathering a sense of occasion that an office function room cannot match. Quartier Restaurant @ Sebel Quay West Suites is the listed venue, the bistro and bar at The Sebel Quay West Suites, serving simple, quality cooking for groups of up to 50.

What to check before you confirm:

  • Getting there: Circular Quay's train, ferry and light rail connections make transport straightforward. Parking is limited and paid, so discourage driving.
  • Venue style: a hotel bistro and bar that suits a sit-down team lunch or dinner rather than a late-night dance party.
  • Capacity: up to 50 guests, which fits a team, a department or a small company.
  • Booking lead time: December is peak season in The Rocks, so reserve your date by spring at the latest.
  • Catering and drinks: Quartier is priced from $79 per person, which makes a per-head Christmas budget simple to set.

A long lunch can work particularly well here. The Rocks is at its best in daylight, and a midday booking leaves time for a walk along the harbour afterwards before people head home from Circular Quay. If you prefer an evening, the Opera House and Harbour Bridge are lit up a short walk away, which suits a team photo to close out the year. With a cap of 50, Quartier is best for a team or department rather than a whole large organisation, so confirm numbers before you lock anything in.

Organising a team Christmas at Quartier

  • Confirm numbers by early December, since 50 is the upper limit for groups.
  • Ask whether a set menu applies at $79 per person and how drinks are charged, whether by package or on consumption.
  • Collect dietary requirements with RSVPs to pass on to the venue in one go.
  • Check whether a short speech or a Kris Kringle can happen at the table.

Lunch or dinner in The Rocks

  • A long lunch makes the most of the harbourside setting in daylight.
  • An evening booking pairs well with a short walk to see the Opera House and Harbour Bridge lit up.
  • Remind staff to travel via Circular Quay, as parking in The Rocks is limited and paid.
  • The Sebel Quay West Suites is a hotel, which helps if interstate staff are joining.
