The end of the year is the perfect moment to thank your team. After twelve months of deadlines, meetings and hard work, a corporate Christmas party in Sydney is a chance to celebrate wins, reconnect and send everyone into the holidays on a high. It is also the busiest time of year for venues and restaurants, which is why more and more Sydney businesses are choosing Christmas catering and private chef services instead.
Team Party
Why catering beats a restaurant booking for your work Christmas party
Booking a restaurant means fitting your team around someone else’s floor plan, time slots and noise levels. With a catering or private chef service, the celebration comes to you: your office, your venue, your schedule. Your guests can talk freely, you control the atmosphere, and nobody has to commute across town after a long day. It is also a simpler way to manage group size, timing and budget.
Two easy ways to cater your end-of-year work function
At Noranise Dining, we offer two Christmas packages built around our 2026 Christmas menu, from Christmas Eve starters to Boxing Day desserts.
Food only: our full Christmas menu, delivered to you with a custom printed menu and instructions. It is $200 per person, with a minimum of 8 guests.
Food + staff: the full experience, with a chef and waiter on site for 4 hours, travel and a custom printed menu included. It is $350 per person, with a minimum of 10 guests.

Order early : the 11 December deadline
December diaries fill up fast in Sydney. For Christmas, all orders must be placed before 11 December, and your service is confirmed once full payment is made. The number of packages is limited, and our chef on site must be confirmed by our team, so book your date as soon as you know it.
Choose a menu that works for the whole team
Our Christmas menu lets you select your proteins, from honey mustard glazed leg of ham to charred beef eye fillet, roasted turkey, roasted pork and smoked salmon. All sides are included, and every guest also gets the full Christmas Eve spread, including prawns, oysters and fresh salads. Share any dietary needs, such as vegetarian, gluten-free or allergy requirements, when you order.
Make budgeting simple
A fixed price per person makes it easy to forecast costs for your Christmas work party. Both packages include the full Christmas Eve spread, all sides and your choice of desserts, so there are no surprises on the day. For larger teams, contact us early to discuss your numbers.
