Corporate & Executive Events at The Parlour

01 /

Built for business hosting, not just a private room

Whether you're an executive assistant organising a board dinner, a corporate events manager hosting client entertainment, or a team leader planning an end-of-year function, The Parlour is designed around the same priority every corporate organiser shares: the event has to run smoothly and reflect well on you.

We regularly host:

• Client dinners and client lunches
• Executive and leadership team dinners
• Board meetings and strategy day dinners
• Government, diplomatic and institutional lunches
• Investor and stakeholder events
• Team celebrations and end-of-year functions
• Corporate lunches and networking functions

If your event involves guests whose experience reflects on your organisation — clients, executives, board members, government representatives or visiting delegations — this is exactly the setting The Parlour was built for.

Privacy and exclusive use

For many corporate and executive bookings, privacy matters as much as the food. The Parlour offers exclusive use of the room for groups of 28 or more at no extra cost, so conversations — including commercially sensitive or confidential ones — stay within your group. Smaller groups can also secure the room exclusively for a full room hire charge. Our team is experienced in hosting discreet, high-trust events where discretion and a polished, professional service standard are the priority, not an afterthought.

The dining experience

Menus are banquet-style and designed for sharing, drawing on two award-winning kitchens in the same building — Vietnamese-inspired dishes from Café Hanoi and Chinese-inspired dishes from Ghost Street. Shared dining works well for corporate groups because it keeps decision-making simple for organisers, encourages conversation across the table, and avoids the formality of a plated, courses-only service. Dietary requirements — including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, coeliac, dairy-free, halal and allergy considerations — are accommodated as a matter of course; just let us know in advance.

Drinks can be pre-ordered or hosted, with a curated selection of wines, cocktails, beers and non-alcoholic options. Billing can be consolidated, and we can arrange up to four separate payment splits per event if your group needs it.

Capacity and room setup

The Parlour seats up to 44 guests, or accommodates up to 50 for a standing, canapé-style event — well suited to networking functions, product launches and less formal corporate gatherings. The room can be configured for seated dining or a mix of seated and standing, and we have a speaker and microphone available for toasts or short presentations (screens are guest-provided). Access is via the Café Hanoi entrance on the Mezzanine Level, 27 Galway Street, Britomart, with a lift and wheelchair access available from Customs Street.
