Christmas Day Lunch

Trade Christmas lunch chaos for a sun-drenched garden escape this Christmas

A set Christmas lunch, surrounded by the gardens. For a Christmas Day that feels like it’s been dropped into the middle of a garden party, Botanic House brings the set lunch to the Botanic Gardens of Sydney – light-filled, green, and dressed for the occasion, with all the trimmings you’d want on the day.

Arrive to a glass of Champagne before working through a generous set menu, with matching wines available for those who want to keep the glass topped up. Every table gets Christmas bonbons, and our team will be dressed to impress – a proper Christmas lunch, just with better light.
