Christmas at Bocconcino Mayfair
Whether it's an intimate dinner for close friends, a client evening to remember, or your office's biggest night of the year, our team will take care of every detail so you don't have to.
Private Dining
The Ground Floor.
Caters to Semi-private Dining from 12-24 guests or Exclusive Hire events from 40-70 guests
Inspired by the trattorias of Italy, our ground floor offers a warm, traditional setting, the kind of room made for long, unhurried dinners and quiet conversation. Come Christmas, the room takes on its own glow: candlelight, garlands and a menu built for sharing make this the natural choice for family gatherings, close friends, corporate Christmas Parties and the kind of festive lunch that has no real end time. Exclusive use of the space includes a dedicated host for the evening, a bespoke festive menu, and wine pairings curated by our sommelier.
Lower Ground Floor.
Caters to Semi-private Dining from 12-24 guests or Exclusive Hire Events from 25-40 guests
Descend into the lively atmosphere of our lower ground floor space, where the ambiance is taken up a notch and you'll discover the home of our live music. This is Christmas after dark, low light, a fuller glass, a band playing somewhere close by. Better suited to office parties, big birthdays and anyone who wants their December to end on their feet rather than in their chair.

Christmas in Mayfair: festive private dining, corporate Christmas parties and exclusive hire at Bocconcino.
Bocconcino Mayfair takes Christmas bookings across both floors of 19 Berkeley Street through December. The ground floor holds semi-private groups of 12 to 24 and exclusive hire from 40 to 70 guests. The lower ground floor, where the live music plays, holds the same semi-private range and exclusive hire from 25 to 40. Everything larger than a standard table goes through the events team.
The festive menu is written by Head Chef Marco Corsica as a set menu for groups, with hand made pasta, Italian classics and seasonal dishes finished for the season. Dietary and allergen options are prepared on request. Enquiries are answered within 24 hours with dates, numbers and menus.
Two floors, two kinds of Christmas party
The ground floor at Bocconcino Mayfair takes its cue from the trattorias of Italy: a warm room built for long dinners and conversation that runs past the coffee. In December it is dressed with candlelight and garlands, and the menu is set up for sharing. It suits family gatherings, dinners with close friends, corporate Christmas parties and the kind of festive lunch that quietly becomes an afternoon.
The lower ground floor runs at a higher pitch. Low light, a fuller glass, and live music close enough to change the mood of the room. This is the floor for office parties, milestone birthdays in December and any group that would rather finish the evening on its feet.
Both floors are served by the same kitchen, so the decision is about atmosphere and group size rather than food.
Capacities for festive bookings
Semi-private dining on either floor takes 12 to 24 guests. Exclusive hire of the ground floor takes 40 to 70. Exclusive hire of the lower ground floor takes 25 to 40. The main dining room handles larger festive parties of up to 70 guests, and full exclusive hire is available for company Christmas parties.
Every exclusive hire includes a dedicated host for the evening, a bespoke festive menu and wine pairings chosen by the sommelier. Room details and enquiry forms are on the Mayfair private dining page.
Corporate Christmas parties in Mayfair
The events team works through seating, menu and timings before the date, so the evening runs to the shape you have in mind rather than the restaurant's default service. A relaxed shared plates lunch and a full sit down dinner are handled the same way, with the running order agreed in advance.
Berkeley Street sits a few minutes from Green Park, with Bond Street and the Elizabeth line close behind, which matters when the guest list is drawing from several offices across London.
The festive menu
Marco Corsica's Christmas menu is built on the season: hand made pasta, rich Italian classics and seasonal ingredients given a festive turn. Groups are served from a dedicated set menu, which keeps the pace of service even at a full room. Vegetarian, vegan and allergen options are prepared when the booking is confirmed rather than on the night. The full year round selection is on the Mayfair menus page.
The wine list runs past 300 bottles, with the cellar built around Barolo, Barbaresco, Brunello, Amarone and Super Tuscan. For exclusive hire, the sommelier sets the pairings against the festive menu in advance.
When to book a Christmas party in London
December is the busiest month of the year and the largest spaces go first. Exclusive hire dates on the weekends before Christmas tend to be taken by early autumn. Semi-private bookings are more flexible, though a few weeks of notice makes the menu and drinks package easier to arrange. Mid week dates in early December are the easiest to secure for larger groups.
Enquiring about a festive booking
Send the date, the number of guests, the format you have in mind and a rough budget per head. The events team replies within 24 hours with the available rooms, menu options and drinks packages. Standard tables of up to seven can still be booked through the reservations page or by calling 020 7499 4510.
Other venues in the group take festive bookings as well. Bocconcino Soho on Great Marlborough Street has Sotto Bar downstairs for late drinks, and the group private dining hub covers all three restaurants.
