We can take care of everything

Tell us what you want and our team can organise the rest.
From food and drinks to DJs, entertainment and Christmas decorations, we can build your party around your company, your budget and your guest numbers.

Our catering can also be provided in partnership with our sister restaurant, Verona Kitchen & Bar, allowing us to create food options specifically for your event.
Not another office Christmas party
There’s a reason The Cellar feels different.
Atmospheric lighting. Hidden corners. Booths. Two bars. Great music. A proper dancefloor. And the feeling that you’ve discovered somewhere your guests weren’t expecting.
Instead of sharing a hotel or restaurant with dozens of other Christmas parties, take over your own exclusive venue and make the night entirely yours.
Whether it’s 40 colleagues celebrating another year together or a company-wide Christmas party approaching 200 guests, we’ll help create a night people actually look forward to.
