Every kind of Christmas.

🎄
Work Christmas Party

The one night the whole team is in the same room. Shared feasts down a long table beat a plated set course, because nobody eats alone and nobody waits.

🥗
Team Christmas Lunch

Back at your desk by three, or not at all. Daytime bookings are the easiest December dates to get, and every venue runs them.

🥂
Client Thank You

End the year with the people who made it. Yarra River views at Southbank, or The Meltemi at Docklands when you want the room to yourselves.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
Family Christmas

Nobody cooks, nobody washes up, nobody misses out. Greek Christmas is loud, long and generous, which is how most families want it anyway.

🏆
Club and Committee

Presentation nights, season wrap ups and awards. The Agora at Craigieburn takes 120 seated with its own private bar and subdivides into three zones.

🎁
Staff Break Up

Small teams welcome. From 10 guests upwards we can seat you together in a semi-private area without a venue hire fee.

What a Christmas booking includes

The table, handled.

🍽
A shared feast, not a set plate

House made dips and warm pita, hot meze like saganaki and calamari, charcoal grilled meats and slow roasted lamb, salads and sides, then loukoumades to finish.

🍷
Drinks your way

Add a drinks package, run a bar tab, or keep it on consumption. Greek wines, local beers, cocktails and non-alcoholic options at every venue.

Dietaries covered

Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free guests eat the same way everyone else does, from shared plates. All meat comes from halal-certified butchers. Four of our five venues are pork free; Southbank is the exception.

Before you book

Christmas questions.

When should I book?

By the end of October if the date matters. Fridays and Saturdays through late November and December go first, and private spaces are usually committed before the week itself. Sunday to Wednesday dates and lunch sittings stay open much longer, and often suit big groups better anyway.

What does it cost?

Shared feast menus start at $49 per person at Docklands, Eastland, Craigieburn and South Morang, and $69 per person at Southbank. Drinks packages are optional and quoted separately. A 10% surcharge applies on Saturdays and Sundays, and 15% on public holidays.

How many people can you seat?

From 10 to about 300. The Agora at Craigieburn seats 120 with its own private bar, and full venue hire there takes 220 seated or around 300 standing. Southbank hires exclusively for up to 150, The Meltemi at Docklands is private for up to 45, Eastland hires for up to 80, and South Morang offers 40 in The Elysian Room, 24 on The Northern Terrace, or 90 across the whole indoor venue.

What is actually on the menu?

Greek feasting, shared down the middle of the table: house made dips with warm pita, hot meze such as saganaki and calamari, charcoal grilled meats and slow roasted lamb, salads and sides, then loukoumades. Menus are tailored to your group and season. All meat comes from halal-certified butchers, and four of the five venues are pork free, Southbank being the exception.

Dietary requirements?

Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free guests are catered for as part of the same shared service, not as an afterthought plate. Send numbers and requirements with your final headcount and the kitchen builds around them.

Deposit and cancellation?

A 20% deposit confirms the date, with the balance due 4 days before the event. Cancel 7 or more days out for a full refund, between 7 days and 24 hours for 50%, and within 24 hours the booking is non-refundable. You can move your event to another date within 4 months at no cost.

Can we decorate, bring a cake, or run a speech?

Yes to all three. Tell your coordinator what you have planned and they will set the room, time the service around speeches, and handle cake cutting. A small cake service fee may apply.
