If you've been handed the job of organising the work Christmas party, the hard part is finding somewhere that takes a group, feeds everyone well and is easy to get to. Martini + Co Werribee is on Level 1 at Pacific Werribee, next to Village Cinemas, with a full kitchen and cocktail bar under one roof and the centre car park at the door. Here is how Christmas bookings work: what the menus cost, what the drinks packages include and when to book.
Three Ways to Feed a Group
You can book a table and order from the full menu, choose a set menu, or go with canapés for a standing event. Which one suits depends on your numbers and how formal you want the day to be.
Set Menus: $69.90, $79.90 or $89.90 per Person
A set menu is the easiest option for a sit-down party. Everyone eats at the same time and you know the food bill before you arrive. There are three, at $69.90, $79.90 and $89.90 per person, and each step up widens the range of dishes. The $89.90 menu, for example, includes natural oysters, grilled prawns and seafood paella.
Canapés for a Standing Party
For drinks and finger food, canapés are priced by the piece: cold and hot canapés are $5 each, substantial canapés are $8 and dessert canapés are $7. Canapé bookings need at least 20 people and a minimum of $35 per person.
The hot list covers mushroom arancini, prawn twisters, salmon croquettes, mini pies and pizza. The substantial list includes sliders, chicken and lamb skewers, mac and cheese, and BBQ pork ribs.
Ordering From the Full Menu
Smaller teams can simply book a table and order from the dining menu: pizzas, pasta, burgers, salads, parmas, steaks and ribs. Tables of up to 15 can be booked online.
Drinks Packages
There are three two-hour drinks packages: House at $55, Premium at $75 and Cocktail at $95 per person. The House package covers house sparkling, house red and white wine, beer, soft drinks, juice, coffee and tea. The Premium package moves up to premium sparkling, wines and beers. The Cocktail package adds cocktails: Apple Martini, Passionfruit Martini, Lychee Martini, Sweet Poison, Blue Lagoon and Malibu Sunset.
If your team would rather order as they go, the bar has cocktail jugs to share and a full mocktail list for the designated drivers.
