Staff Xmas Parties ... Ideas ?

[ben351]

It’s that time of the year again ... I’ve been charged with organising the Staff Xmas party and I’m coming up trumps for ideas ...

What have you guys done previously ??

Previous ones of mine;

Perth Zoo – Hired out the Zoo for the night and have a live band playing there – free food n drinks
Greenwood Hotel – basic feed and drinks
Some shit Restaurant on Great Eastern highway – shithouse small food.

We are a small office only about 10 of us so plus partners will only be 20 odd people ... any ideas ?

Looking for a nice sit down meal and drinks really and want to stay NOR or City area ... can’t go SOR or Freo ( too far )

I’d prefer a Pub meals like @ The Queens ... suggestions ?

[Skitzo]

Paintballing?

[AGIT8D]

Why not book into one of the nice steak houses NOR?

[mitchy]

we just had a work dinner/drinks...
started at the subi, went across the road to the witches cauldron for dinner, and then ended up back at the subi..
pretty decent meals there too, there was about 15 of us and the food didnt take too long.

where bouts mate ??

[SweeT]

Do you always books your Christmas work do this late?

I organise my companies one and i find if i don't book it by August everything is booked out.

We have done:

*Swan River Boat Course (wine tasting, lunch & chocolate factory) By the time we got to lunch everyone was drunk

*Supagolf - Kind bad time of the year as its so hot

*Burswood Buffet - Food was good and then we went to the Casino after

[duste]

For my missus' work party we're taking 3 pharmacies worth of staff on coaches to the Swan Valley for wine n shit.

For my work party we usually just have a BBQ at the laboratory itself with bulk cartons of booze but missus' dad was saying that's probably not the go this year, so probably just going to a pub/tav/restaurant somewhere. Given it's only a small laboratory (< 10 people), it does makes it a bit easier to organise things for.

[Lonewolf]

anywhere with a lot of booze, a photocopier and broom closet.

[H1GHROLLR]

+1 for supagolf hahahaha good laugh for sure, even better after some turps

I highly doubt i wont be able to book 20 people in for a meal somewhere

[Macca]

[mitchy]

Billy Lee's and then Ambar is good for a quiet dinner followed by a few drinks too

[mys1]

Are you serious? Dude, I eat alot of mexican, its not the best, but its better than most in perth!

but I have had real mexican food, cooked by real mexicans, in south Florida, so I know what im talking about!

[AGIT8D]

Our work xmas party will be at work again. We are on the water in the canals in Mandurah so we cook up lots of steaks and seafood, get hammered on beer and wine, and we lease the boat pen right outside our work on the jetty so we usually get whoevers boat down and a jetski etc and muck around. We've got kayaks at work too so there are always kayak races :)

[Milhouse]

I hope blaaas apartment overlooks your xmas party and he ruins it :D

Nothing overlooks our xmas party :) We have a 2 storey house right against the water haha. No one in front of us and a big carpark behind us :)

[tahni]

Was gonna suggest this, then you can do drinks after at breakwater maybe?

[Milhouse]

[mitchy]

i gotta come clean babe. there is one image in my life that consistently makes me happy no matter when i think about it. and that image, that one image is your big tits.

[Miami]

Hippo Creek Subi?? bit more upmarket than Hillarys, bit closer, and more options afterwards?

Little Chutneys/Chutney Marys/Buddha Bar, if indian will suit everyone?

Check if Malt (new place on Beaufort) will be open by then (it should be) and is taking bookings yet? Pretty sure they're intending on doing food, could just be tapas stuff though.

[Fukushima]

we did como hotel last year

was pretty easy to get a booking compared to some places

best one I've been to was at raffles, bombed dinner

or atrium was wicked too

[AGIT8D]

or atrium was wicked too

SRS?? What exactly was good about it? You're talking Atrium Hotel in Mandurah??

[mitchy]

atrium in burswood i think dan...
we had a work dinner there a few years ago.. was alright

LOL!
We did Playa Del Carmen and Cancun / Mexico for a few weeks during spring break 2008. So much win.

On the contrary, I work for the Government and unfortunately get cheap BYO crap that co-staff deliver. I'm having hard enough trouble facing facts that I have to be at work for Melbourne Cup next week to have cordial with my director and managers.

[MISS 13B]

Little Chutneys
We go to Little Chutney's in Subi every year for Melbourne Cup.
Best Indian in Perth without a doubt.

Last year they had Miss Pole Dance Australia perform.

[V70R]

Im now chucking a sickie next tuesday and going to Little Chutneys!

Pretty sure that chick runs dancing classes in the city somewhere.. Though the title probably changes every year/competition.

[TheChad]

the best christmas parties are the ones held in april.

anyone who has worked in hospitality will agree with me.

[Anaru]

Hippo Creek Subi?? bit more upmarket than Hillarys.

Serious? maybe the suburb but hillarys marina is pretty flash these days

[Fryman]

this guys more of a salad type of fella

[ben351]

lol fml

[Miami]

Just going from what I read about it opening up - is supposed to have some special ageing room and a wood fired char-grill or something that I was under the impression the existing two didnt have - I could be wrong there.

Agreed, the Hillarys one is nice as well :)

[duste]

No idea what it was - I love my food but I just couldn't eat it, could be just their vego-range but I wasn't the only one who couldn't eat it so who knows? :confused:

Maybe just caught them on a bad night, perhaps.

[beatle]

The trots is good. Good food, good atmosphere (usualy a few other functions on at the same time) and you can have a punt.

[TJ]

We did Glouster park in 07.. was decent!
