What is the hardest part of organising a work Christmas party? It is rarely the food. It is finding a date when everyone is free, a room where everyone can talk, and a menu that nobody complains about.
The short answer: Jemme in Seminyak offers a full pre-Christmas set menu from 10 to 23 December 2026, for lunch or dinner, at IDR 695,000++ per person. It suits office parties, friends’ get-togethers and family gatherings, with a choice of roast turkey, roast pork or roast beef. Festive turkey dinners need 48 hours’ notice, so book early on WhatsApp at +62 811-395-400.
Why December gets so hard to organise in Bali
Christmas Day is the headline, but it is not the easiest day to get a group together. Teams are travelling, guests are away, and in December half of Seminyak seems to be booked solid. The week of the 25th is full.
So many groups choose to celebrate earlier. A lunch on the 12th. A dinner on the 18th. A get-together before the holiday rush begins.
And that is where the trouble starts.
The three things that go wrong with group festive meals
1. The menu is chaos. Fifteen people, fifteen opinions. An a la carte menu slows the kitchen and the table. Orders arrive at different times and the bill turns into a maths exercise.
2. The room is wrong. Heat and noise. You can hardly hear the colleague next to you, let alone make a toast. A work party in the sun is a work party people leave early.
3. It does not feel like Christmas. A generic restaurant with a plate of pasta is a normal lunch with a paper hat.
A set menu fixes most of this. One price, one plan, one smooth service, and a meal that feels like the season.
What is on the Pre-Christmas menu
Dates: 10 to 23 December 2026, lunch or dinner. Price: IDR 695,000++ per person.
Entree: choose one
- Citrus and pomegranate salad: mixed greens, citrus fruits, pomegranate seeds and glazed walnuts with the house dressing.
- Turkey and pumpkin soup: roasted pumpkin and tender turkey, delicately spiced and finished with fresh herbs.
Main: choose one
- Roast turkey with roast potatoes, creamy cauliflower cheese, green beans with roast almonds and baby carrots, sauteed green peas and local brussels sprouts, crunchy creamy leeks with bacon, gravy and cranberry sauce.
- Roast pork with the same sides, gravy and apple sauce.
- Roast beef with the same sides, gravy, Yorkshire pudding and horseradish sauce.
Dessert
- Christmas pudding: a rich and fruity traditional pudding, served with cream.
Three different roasts means a mixed group can all eat well. The beef suits those who want a classic Sunday-style plate and the turkey is the festive centrepiece.
Why Jemme works for office parties and group gatherings
Everyone is comfortable. The restaurant is fully air-conditioned, which is rare in central Seminyak. Your guests arrive in work clothes, not wilting.
The menu is simple to manage. Everyone chooses their entree and main in advance. The kitchen can plan, service runs smoothly, and the cost is clear.
Western and Indonesian teams are both catered for. Jemme has been serving both cuisines since 2007, so a table of mixed nationalities will feel at home.
It is easy to find. Jl. Petitenget 28, in the heart of Seminyak.
A simple plan for booking your pre-Christmas party
- Pick a date between 10 and 23 December and decide on lunch or dinner.
- Count your guests and collect each person’s entree and main choice, and any dietary needs.
- Message Jemme at least 48 hours ahead. Festive turkey dinners need this notice so the kitchen can prepare properly. For larger groups, ask earlier.
- Send the details on WhatsApp at +62 811-395-400, or email reservation@jemmebali.com.
A useful tip for organisers: pick the day before the final week of December.
