Private Hire Christmas Party Packages at The Chapel Bar: What’s Included?

Planning a Christmas party in London can feel like juggling snowflakes, magical, but a little chaotic. Between catering, music, and trying to please everyone from your boss to your best mate, the details can add up fast. That’s why choosing the right Christmas party venue for hire in London makes all the difference. And if you’re after something that balances charm, flexibility, and proper festive atmosphere, The Chapel Bar in Islington ticks every box.

Here we will walk you through what precisely to expect from The Chapel Bar’s private hire Christmas party packages, what you receive, how every aspect is part of the value, and the extras that make a fantastic evening one you will never forget.

The Core of a Great Christmas Party Package

At the heart of all great Christmas parties is a room that is both lively and warm, and that is where The Chapel Bar really delivers. When you hire out a private package, you are not getting two tables and a bit of tinsel, you are getting full access to one of North London’s premier Christmas party venues.

Exclusive Venue Hire

You have the option between two rooms, depending on your atmosphere and size:

• The Saloon and Dance Floor (more info): a stylish ground-floor bar with space for 150 standing guests. It features leather seating, a fully stocked bar, a specific dance floor, and an in-house sound system perfect for DJs or live music.

• The Terrace Bar and Garden (have a look): a secluded upper floor room for up to 80 individuals, complete with a heated al fresco patio area. Ideal for groups who desire something a bit more intimate but still stylish.

Each bookable space gives you sole occupancy, so you don’t have to share your space with another party. That equates to your playlist, your decorations, and your party, all yours.

Festive Menus and Dining Options

Of course, no Christmas party would be complete without fantastic food. The in-house kitchen at Chapel Bar offers festive menus ranging from sophisticated canapés through to hearty three-course meals. You can view the full Christmas Menus and Packages here.

Search for plates that marry traditional seasonal favorites with creative twists, slow-roasted turkey with trimmings, vegan-friendly wellingtons, and decadent desserts that tie it all together. There’s even a special event Food Menu for those who want to build their own buffet.

Drinks Packages and Bar Service

To make sure the party goes on, you can select from a range of pre-curated drinks packages, ranging from welcome prosecco to high-end open bars. Have a look at the Drinks Menu here for inspiration.

Bartenders are included with every booking, so you have nothing to worry about. You can even pre-order wine, spirits, or cocktail jugs to make service on the night trouble-free.

What Makes a Christmas Party Memorable

The best Christmas parties aren’t all about bright tinsel and good tunes, they’re about people, fun, and those small touches that show thought and consideration.

At The Chapel Bar, the team understands that every group is different. Some parties need a chilled-out dinner with close friends, some need dancing until the lights are turned up. Either way, the packages will be customised to you. This is what you can look forward to as standard:

• Decorated space: Seasonal trimmings are included, with elegant lights and tasteful festive details already in place.

• Music-ready venue: Both floors have sound systems and optional DJ stages, so you can play your favorite playlists or hire a professional.

• Private staff: Trained bar staff and event hosts ensure smooth service from start to finish.

• Flexible timings: Choose day or evening times, or upgrade for an all-night booking.

And because it’s such a popular London Christmas party hire venue, everything runs like clockwork, and you can just sit back and enjoy the night, rather than plan it.

Personalised Touches

Another benefit of booking early is that you can personalise your experience. The Chapel Bar team can arrange for you:

• Welcome drinks upon arrival
• Personalised cocktails with company or group names
• Theme table settings
• Secret Santa or photo booth arrangements

These small touches make a big impact, transforming your party from another office gathering into something people actually look forward to every year.

Optional Extras and Upgrades to Elevate the Night

If you’re looking to go beyond the basics, The Chapel Bar offers a range of add-ons that can completely elevate the experience.

Entertainment Options

A Christmas party succeeds or fails depending on the atmosphere. The Chapel Bar has hosted everything from live bands and DJs to comedy acts and karaoke nights. With sound and lighting equipment built in, it is easy to provide your own entertainment, or leave things to the in-house staff to recommend local acts we have used in the past.

Custom Menus

While the Christmas menu covers all the classics, bespoke requests are always welcome. For a late-night snack bar, vegan platters, or canapé towers to keep the party going, the kitchen staff can tailor your menu to suit your occasion.

Winter Cocktails and Themed Bars

Seasonal drinks like mulled wine, espresso martinis, or spiced rum punch may be booked in advance, as well as The Chapel Bar offering pop-up bar installations for big groups. A private cocktail bar on the balcony, for instance, provides a wonderful feeling of occasion.

AV and Presentation Support

Corporate parties have available use of screens, microphones, and projectors, perfect for speeches, year-end presentations, or awards.

Finding the Right Fit for Your Festive Celebration

Choosing a venue for your Christmas party isn’t just about location, though The Chapel Bar’s location in Islington places you conveniently near central transport links. It’s all about finding an area that takes a weight off your shoulders while at the same time giving you room to make it your own.

Whether you’re planning a staff do, a private dinner, or a festive night with friends, The Chapel Bar’s private hire packages have it all sorted so you don’t have to. With versatile space, fantastic food and drink, and friendly, professional staff, it is one of the best North London Christmas Party venues for hire.
