A Christmas party deal is a service provided by the venue staff to ease your holiday preparation. Party locales and restaurants in London usually offer flexible holiday packages, including different amenities and food options. Usually, these offers include a Christmas dinner; depending on price, it can be a single meal or a full festive menu with starters, beverages, pudding, and a free cocktail/glass of wine. Sometimes, venue decor is a part of the package, saving you time and money on DIY Christmas ornaments. In some cases, Christmas deals also provide a party planning expert who will handle the logistics and ensure you have the best possible experience! Such services are especially useful and popular among large corporate Christmas party venues in London.
Yes, you can customise a Christmas party package in London. Many venues offer flexible pricing like per-person rates, flat hire fees, or minimum spend options. This allows you to adjust food, drink, and entertainment to suit your needs. For example, Simmons | Holborn has event packages that charges per person, which can include drinks and space hire. Pedro’s Wine Bar and Bubba Oasis use minimum spend pricing, letting you decide how to allocate your budget. Some venues also allow custom decorations or entertainment depending on their policy.
A package does more than save admin, it can lift the event itself. Compared with arranging everything yourself, booking a package adds:
Most London packages include venue hire plus a festive meal, a set menu or buffet with a starter, main and pudding, and often a welcome cocktail or glass of fizz. Many also include festive decor, and some add a dedicated party planner to manage the logistics, which is common at larger corporate venues. Drinks packages, a DJ, photo booths or games are usually add-ons.
Just as useful to know: what a package often doesn't include. Cloakroom service, AV support and end-of-night cleaning are sometimes charged separately, so check the listing and ask the venue exactly what's covered before you book. On Tagvenue, every listing shows its pricing model and inclusions up front, and you confirm the details with the venue before you commit.
