What to expect at the James Bond Christmas party in Newcastle

You’ll be welcomed with a glass of Prosecco as you make an entrance on the VIP red carpet. Then, as the dining room doors open, our live Bond tribute band starts playing those iconic movie theme songs.

As the band plans during a sumptuous 3-course dinner, test your 007 knowledge by matching the theme song to the Bond movie.

The all-inclusive drinks are flowing, dinner has been enjoyed… but the night isn’t over. There’s plenty of after-dinner  entertainment on offer at our Christmas parties.

The dance floor is open, and our live party band will tempt you onto it with some of the most danceable tunes on the planet. If you can stop dancing, try your luck at 007-style casino tables, or get your face bling on at the glitter bar. And don’t forget to visit the photo booth. Those photos will remind you of the best Christmas party choice you’ve ever made.

However…It’s James Bond! He’s famous for sartorial elegance and most of our guests for this particular event love getting dressed up for it.

The menu

Will the hotel cater for different dietary requirements? 

Yes they will. Once you’ve booked, we’ll send you a function sheet. Use this to let us know the names and dietary requirements of any guests. We’ll inform the chef so that each person is catered for appropriately.

The only exception to this is Kosher food. This cannot be prepared at the hotel, it comes via a separate caterer and incurs an additional charge. Call us on 020 7183 3821 and we’ll talk you through it.

If you want to add guests, contact us on 020 7183 3821 or email [email protected]. We’ll let you straight away if there’s availability. If there’s enough space for additional guests, full payment will be required in order to secure the booking.
