Book Your Corporate Christmas Party Early at Vivat Bacchus
Quick Summary: It may only be summer, but London's best festive spaces book up fast. Reserve your corporate Christmas party early at Vivat Bacchus and enjoy South African feasting, standout wines and private dining in Farringdon or the City. Early planning means better dates and a smoother celebration.
Nobody wants to think about mulled wine during a heatwave. If you are the one organising this year's office Christmas do, though, summer is the smart time to start. At Vivat Bacchus, our South African restaurant and wine bar in the heart of London, the most popular December dates fill up months ahead, and the earliest enquiries get the best pick of spaces, dates and menus.
The goal is simple: give your team, clients or guests a festive celebration they will remember, with proper South African food, generous wine and a private space that suits the occasion.
Why Book Your Christmas Party Early?
Getting your booking in early is one of the easiest ways to take the stress out of the festive season. Here is why summer enquiries pay off.
Beat the December Rush in London
As Christmas draws closer, availability at London's private dining rooms and event spaces becomes limited. By late autumn, popular slots may already be gone, especially the Thursday and Friday evenings that so many office groups prefer.
Booking during the summer gives you a stronger chance of securing:
Your first choice of date, including sought-after weekday evenings
The right room for your group size
A menu and wine pairing tailored to your celebration
It also lifts the pressure off you as the organiser. Planning a party for twenty, forty or eighty guests during the busiest month of the year is a big task. Sorting it now means one major job is ticked off well before the autumn diary fills up.
A Better Choice of Dates and Spaces
Vivat Bacchus has two London homes, each with its own character and private dining options:
Farringdon, at 47 Farringdon Street, EC4A 4LL
London Bridge, at 4 Hay's Lane, SE1 2HB
Some spaces suit an intimate client dinner, while others work beautifully for larger office celebrations and standing receptions. Booking early gives you the freedom to choose the setting that fits your group, rather than settling for whatever is left in December.
Your South African Christmas at Vivat Bacchus
A festive celebration here is built around the flavours, warmth and hospitality of South Africa. Here is what your guests can look forward to.
Feasting from the Braai
The braai, South Africa's much loved live-fire tradition, sits at the heart of what we do. Think generous sharing boards, flame-cooked meats and seasonal sides, all designed to bring a table together. It is festive dining with genuine character, ideal for a team that wants something a little different this year.
A Wine List Worth Celebrating
Wine is where every celebration at Vivat Bacchus begins. Our extensive South African wine list gives your guests something to talk about, from a celebratory glass of sparkling to a rich, warming red for the main event. If wine knowledge is not your team's strong suit, that is exactly what our staff are here for, guiding everyone through their glass without any fuss.
Private Dining in Farringdon
Our Farringdon restaurant offers characterful private spaces for seated dinners and receptions, well suited to corporate groups who want a room of their own for the evening. Our events team can talk you through the options and help match a space to your numbers.
