What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Timber awnings, an urban fit-out and a DJ booth two floors above Botany Rd: that's where a Waterloo team can wrap up the working year at The Palm Lounge @ The Cauliflower Hotel.

The Cauliflower has traded at 123 Botany Rd since 1838 and is known for bistro classics, a sports bar, craft beer and trivia. The Palm Lounge sits on the second level of The Forgotten Cask, its rum and gin bar, and is booked as a semi-private room for work functions.

For the person organising the team's night:

  • Numbers: 70 standing or 45 seated for a department dinner
  • Drinks: a bar tab with guest wristbands, or pay as poured, plus welcome drinks on arrival
  • Food: canapés by the piece and cheese, grazing and sushi platters
  • Speeches: AV in the room, with a portable microphone and speaker available
  • Growing headcount: the whole rooftop takes 50 seated or 90 standing exclusively

Catering is paid a week before and final details are due seven business days out, which is worth diarising for a busy late-November or December date.
