For a Christmas party in Surrey that celebrates the best of the season, check out Chobham Golf Club. Surrounded by rolling parkland and wintery greens, this independent venue is well versed when it comes to pulling off impressive festive bashes with incredible views to boot. Just picture those spanning courses covered in frost, glistening with seasonal charm.
The Montgomerie Suite itself is the heart of the celebrations. Positioned on the first floor of the clubhouse, it’s a bright, spacious room with large windows that flood the space with daylight before the evening festivities begin. Come nightfall, it transforms into a warm and sociable setting, complete with its own private bar, lift access and plenty of space to move between dining, drinks and dancing. With capacity for up to 135 guests seated or 200 for a more relaxed buffet-style gathering, it works equally well for company-wide parties or slightly smaller team celebrations.
Details are handled with care: tables are dressed with white linen, Christmas crackers and coordinated centrepieces, creating a cohesive festive look without the need for overthinking. There’s also the option of an all-inclusive package, which simplifies planning considerably. Your guests will be treated to prosecco on arrival, a three-course meal, decorations, a private bar and DJ all included, allowing hosts to focus on the guest list rather than logistics.
The food follows a familiar, crowd-pleasing format, elevated by thoughtful preparation. Starters might include a seafood salad of prawns, squid and mussels with a Bloody Mary dressing, or a smooth chicken liver parfait paired with redcurrant and focaccia. For mains, traditionalists will find comfort in roast turkey with all the trimmings - think stuffing, crisp parsnips, sprouts and proper gravy - while alternatives such as an open pork, apple and cider pie or a wild mushroom and truffle suet pudding ensure there’s variety across the table. Desserts keep things suitably festive, from rich chocolate orange truffle torte to classic Christmas pudding with brandy sauce.
