Browse Venues →Why Private Dining for Corporate Events
Confidential and Focused
Sensitive conversations stay in the room. No eavesdroppers, no interruptions, no fighting for attention over restaurant noise.
Makes the Right Impression
A private room signals that you've put thought into the evening. For client entertaining, this matters more than the restaurant name.
Simple to Expense
One invoice for the whole evening. Set menu pricing means no surprises and easy sign-off. Some venues can invoice the company directly.
Structured but Not Stiff
The best corporate dinners feel like a good dinner that happens to be with colleagues or clients. A private room gives you the professional setting without the formality of a function centre. Everyone at one table, good food, proper service — and if someone needs to step out for a call, they can.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run a presentation during dinner?
Some private dining rooms have AV equipment — screens, HDMI connections, or projectors. Ask the venue when booking. Even without AV, the private setting is ideal for informal presentations from a laptop.
How should I handle dietary requirements?
Collect dietary needs from your guests beforehand and pass them to the venue with your booking. Experienced private dining venues handle this routinely and will adjust the menu accordingly.
Is there a minimum spend for corporate bookings?
Yes, typically $80-150 per person. For corporate groups of 10-15, the minimum is usually met naturally through food and beverage. Some venues offer corporate packages with fixed per-head pricing.
Can the company be invoiced directly?
Many venues offer direct invoicing for corporate bookings. Arrange this when you confirm the booking — they'll usually need your company details and a purchase order number.
