Worth a look for a Christmas party: Fortnums, a conservatory-style restaurant in Sassafras for up to 100 guests.

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Twice a year, in July and again in December, Fortnums decorates its dining room for Christmas. The family-run restaurant on Mount Dandenong Tourist Road takes festive lunches, evening celebrations and private events in those months, so an end-of-year get-together or a midwinter Christmas both have a home.

Ways to plan the festive gathering at Fortnums:

December lunch – the conservatory-style room, with arched windows and plenty of daylight, seats a group at tables decorated for the season
Christmas in July – the same festive styling returns mid-year, handy for a group that misses the December rush of events
An evening event – evening celebrations are taken during the decorated months as well as lunches
A smaller daytime group – the private Garden Room, set apart along a garden path, suits 15 to 30 guests
Up to 100 – the restaurant's full capacity, with an outdoor deck looking over the ranges

A function coordinator plans each booking and builds the menu around the event. Send an enquiry early with your preferred month, numbers and whether it is lunch or evening.

A sit-down meal keeps a mixed group together at the table for speeches and toasts
Grazing tables let guests mingle, which suits a stand-up crowd in the restaurant
High tea is offered too, for a gentler afternoon version of the end-of-year party
Festive dishes come from the restaurant's own kitchen, and special diets such as vegetarian or gluten-free can be accommodated

Setting the festive room

The restaurant's own Christmas decorations go up in July and December, so there is little to bring
Linen napkins, organza runners and fresh flowers can be added, styled to chosen colours
Small chandeliers and tall arched windows give the room its conservatory feel
The deck outside opens the view across the ranges between courses
