For those who want their Christmas celebration to feel a little different, take the festivities outside. From poolside cocktails under the summer sky to the warm glow of a private igloo, our unique spaces bring a fresh take on the season: intimate, memorable and unmistakably festive.
Pool Deck (new!): Open-air so the breeze can drift in, but covered so the weather never gets the final say. Ideal for relaxed cocktail-style celebrations for up to 40 guests or a banquet-style setting. Please note the pool itself is not accessible during events. Minimum spend applies.
Christmas Igloos (new!): Celebrate in your own private igloo with cocktail catering or a bar menu, a cosy and memorable setting for your team. Minimum spend applies per igloo.
No matter the size or style of your celebration, our Christmas catering options are designed to impress. Choose from:
Cocktail-style: Ideal for 15+ guests to mingle and network, featuring a selection of chef-crafted canapés, perfect for a more relaxed, social Christmas party.
2- or 3-course plated dining: Suits 20+ guests. A classic sit-down experience with beautifully presented seasonal dishes and alternate mains, finished with bean-to-cup coffee and traditional mince pies.
Christmas Banquet: Suits 20+ guests. A generous shared feast featuring cold cuts, seafood, fresh market salads, roast turkey and all the trimmings, with a Christmas pudding dessert table to finish. Elevate it further with oysters, prawns or a carvery centrepiece.
Catering options vary by space. The Pool Deck suits cocktail-style or banquet-style celebrations, while our Igloos offer cocktail catering or a bar menu.
Choose from our Classic or Spirits beverage packages, both featuring house wine, house beer, and soft drinks, with spirits included in our upgraded option.
