Restaurants for Large Groups in Singapore

Restaurants for large groups in Singapore are booked as a round table, a long table, a reserved section or a whole-restaurant buyout. Most planners choose the table format, then agree a group menu with the host.

Group menus cost about S$60 to S$150 per head before GST and any service charge. Big tables that prefer sharing platters passed along the middle can compare communal dining restaurants in Singapore.

Large-Group Table Formats in Singapore: Round Tables, Long Tables and Buyouts

Each table format changes the price, the privacy and the way guests talk across the meal. Big groups at Chinese restaurants in Singapore usually sit at round tables, and Western restaurant teams usually join tables into one long run.

• Round tables: shared Chinese courses on a turntable, the usual set-up for reunion dinners and clan meals.
• Long table: one joined table on a group menu, with other diners in the same room.
• Reserved section: a corner, a mezzanine or a terrace kept for your group alone.
• Full buyout: the whole dining floor against a minimum spend, for speeches or a slideshow.
• Party instead of a meal: groups planning a DJ and a dance floor compare large party venues in Singapore.

Group Dining in Singapore: Reunion Dinners, Christmas Tables and Team Meals

Group dining in Singapore peaks around Chinese New Year and December, when families and offices want big tables on the same nights. Planners who book late often end up on a weekday or at lunch.

• Reunion dinner: three generations at round tables on Chinese New Year's Eve, often with yusheng for lo hei.
• Christmas and year-end: friends and colleagues on a festive set menu, usually in December.
• Team meal: a department lunch or a farewell dinner on a weekday.
• Client or board dinner: a formal company table fits restaurants for corporate dinners in Singapore.
• Alumni and friends: a weekend table with drinks ordered by the bottle.

Group Menus in Singapore: Vegetarian Counts, Food Certification and Casual Budgets

A group menu in Singapore is a fixed set of dishes priced per head, and most hosts can split it for different diets. Send the dietary headcount before the kitchen team fixes the menu.

• Vegetarian diners: give the host an exact number, so the kitchen team plans a parallel set of dishes.
• Food certification: ask each restaurant about its certification status direct, because it differs between listings.
• Corkage: each restaurant team sets its own fee per bottle, and some waive it above a set spend.
• Casual budget: planners keep the per-head cost down with a grill at every table by booking Korean restaurants in Singapore.
• Cake-cutting: ask about a fee before you bring a cake for the table.
