What's On

Christmas parties in Covent Garden: a private dining room, semi-private hire and the whole restaurant at Osteria by Bocconcino.

Osteria by Bocconcino hosts Christmas parties at 366 Strand with three hire options, from a private room for 26 at the table to the whole restaurant for 150 standing, and three Christmas menus from £65 per person.

Groups of eight or more plan their party with the events team, named Best Hospitality Team 2026 at the British Restaurant Awards. The team arranges the menu, the drinks and the décor together, and the same kitchen serves every format. Its pasta is made by hand in the open kitchen, the work that earned Osteria Best Handmade Pasta & Contemporary Italian Restaurant 2026 from LuxLife's Leaders Magazine.

Three hire options for a Christmas party

Private Dining Room, 26 seated or 40 standing

A secluded room apart from the main dining room, suited to corporate dinners, team celebrations and private parties that want their own space. It seats 26 at the table or takes 40 for a standing reception. The room is not wheelchair accessible, so access needs are best raised when enquiring.

Semi-private hire, 40 seated or 50 standing

A dedicated area inside the working restaurant. The party keeps its own tables while the rest of the room carries on around it, which gives a group of up to 40 seated, or 50 standing, the atmosphere of a full December service.

Exclusive hire, 86 seated or 150 standing

The whole restaurant, for company parties and end-of-year events that need every table. With the full room booked, the events team designs the evening from the menu through to the décor.

Christmas party menus

There are three Christmas private dining menus, each at its own price: three courses at £65, three courses at £75 and four courses at £100 per person. Groups that want something different can have a bespoke menu built by the events team, with drinks arranged alongside it. Allergies and dietary requirements are best shared at the planning stage, so the kitchen can work them into the menu before the night.
