A Relaxed Place to Celebrate

Bocce Bistro works well for celebrations that feel special without being overly formal. Guests can enjoy the harbour views, settle into the outdoor area, and spend time together over food and drinks.

Celebrations at Bocce Bistro

Birthdays and Anniversaries

Celebrate with a relaxed lunch, dinner, or gathering by the harbour. A set menu works well for a seated meal, while a finger food menu gives guests more freedom to chat and move around.

The menu can be planned around your group size, the type of celebration, and the budget you have in mind.

Engagements and Pre-Wedding Gatherings

Bocce Bistro provides a comfortable setting for an engagement meal, family gathering, or pre-wedding celebration. Guests can enjoy food and drinks beside the harbour while spending time together in a relaxed atmosphere.

You can choose a set menu for a more structured meal, shared dishes for the table, or a finger food menu for a casual event. Beverage packages can also be arranged to suit the occasion.

Staff Parties and Team Events

Planning a staff party does not have to mean booking a formal event space. Bocce Bistro offers a relaxed setting for team dinners, Christmas staff parties, work celebrations, and smaller company events.

Set menus make planning easier for seated dinners. Finger food menus work well for informal gatherings, while beverage packages help keep the budget clear from the start. Plenty of parking beside the restaurant also makes the venue convenient for guests travelling by car.

The team can discuss your numbers, preferred menu, drinks, timing, and budget before confirming the arrangements.

Graduations and Retirements

A graduation or retirement deserves time to celebrate properly. Bocce Bistro offers an easygoing setting for family and friends to share a meal, raise a glass, and enjoy the occasion together.

A set menu can keep the meal simple for larger groups. Finger food is also a practical choice for a more informal gathering.

Family Gatherings and Special Meals

You do not need a formal event to book a group celebration. Bocce Bistro is also suited to family lunches, reunions, farewell meals, and get-togethers with friends.

Tell us what you have planned, and we can suggest food and drink options that fit the occasion and your budget.

Menus and Packages for Different Budgets

We offer a range of options for group celebrations, with menus tailored to suit the occasion, group size, and budget.

Choose from set menus with different themes, including Maltese, Asian, Italian pasta buffet, and other options. We also offer children’s party menus, extensive finger food selections, beverage packages, and à la carte dining.

Some set menus are available from €25 per person, while other options are available at €35 per person. Minimum numbers vary depending on the menu. We can also discuss a customised option if you have a specific budget or type of event in mind.

Set Menus

Set menus make planning easier and give guests a selection of dishes to enjoy together. They are suitable for birthdays, staff parties, family gatherings, and other group celebrations.

Finger Food Menus

Our extensive finger food options are ideal for relaxed events where guests want to chat, move around, and enjoy a variety of dishes without a formal seated meal.

Beverage Packages

Beverage packages can be arranged to suit your event and budget. Options can include soft drinks, water, wine, beer, or other drinks, depending on the package selected.

Children’s Parties

For children’s celebrations, we offer a dedicated menu with child-friendly food, flowing water, and the option of adding extras such as entertainment, lighting, tables, or inflatables.

À La Carte Dining

À la carte dining allows each guest to choose from the regular menu. This works well for smaller groups or celebrations where guests prefer to order individually.

Tell us your group size, occasion, preferred menu style, and budget, and we can suggest the most suitable option.

Planning Your Event

When enquiring about a celebration, it helps to share:

Your preferred date and time.
The number of guests.
The type of occasion.
Your preferred menu style.
Any beverage requirements.
Your approximate budget.
Any dietary requirements.
Providing these details helps the team suggest suitable options and plan the event properly.
For weekend events and larger groups, booking in advance is recommended.
