Your lords might not be a-leaping nor your maids a-milking quite yet. But, to make sure your Christmas dinner goes to plan, it’s time to start a-booking. After all, as soon as that Melbourne Cup starter gun goes off, you’ll know you’re in the home straight. So, here’s a few ideas to get your geese a-laying from Urban Purveyor Group.
From big companies to smaller startups, it's not the easiest to find a Sydney restaurant for a work or family Christmas do. UPG have venues catering for groups of ten to 3000 and tailored packages aplenty, so there'll be something to fit your outing in the collection. If their champagne-fuelled brunches are anything to go by, the French-inspired Ananas Bar & Brasserie is bound to be a winner. This year, they’ve delivered some extraordinary creations, from a Mad Hatter's feast with a dessert fairyland to a spooky Halloween buffet with an edible graveyard.
Steak and seafood fiends might be more at home at New York-inspired eatery The Cut Bar and Grill. Christmas shindigs, which might include this killer banquet menu, are available for small groups and massive parties — and you can even chat to the team about matching wines with your work dinner. Then, at Sake, you can usher in the season Japanese-style either in The Rocks or Double Bay. Their contemporary culinary approach covers both classics and experimental dishes. Three set menus, varying from the chef’s selection to new classics to signature dishes (check out the menus here), offer plenty of choice. Plus, they do sushi-making classes if you're after a less obvious team building type of Christmas activity.
Finally, if beer is crucial to your festive cheer, there’s The Argyle, Bavarian Bier Cafe and Lowenbrau. The former’s menu is absolutely huge and lets you eat anyway you like — from share platters to woodfired pizzas — and the heritage-listed, sandstone courtyard is great for summery evenings. The latter guarantees a party atmosphere, a gigantic beer list and stacks of hearty fare.
Of course, you might want your own space for Christmas get-togethers, and there's private dining spaces aplenty in every one of these venues. For example, even on a regular day Ananas has innovative two- and three-course set menus available and a variety of spaces for a quirky Christmas outing option — try Le Salon, which fits up to 44 guests, or the whole venue fits 300 for bigger companies.
