Thanksgiving restaurant rental essentials

What should a restaurant offer for a Thanksgiving dinner? Of course, a traditional Thanksgiving dinner wouldn’t be the same without the roast turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, gravy and, of course, pumpkin pie. Well, that’s only the tip of the iceberg because the menu should be much more extensive! But of course, you can always put a spin on the traditional meals and have the dishes prepared with a more modern approach. These days, it can be quite the trend to have Thanksgiving dinner made with any cuisine of your liking, just as long as you’re there to celebrate with your family and friends. However, if you are a huge fan of traditional Thanksgiving food, yet the restaurant you choose to spend your time in doesn’t offer the cuisine you’d like to have, you can always try to see if you can opt for external catering on the day. Some venues are more than happy to rent the space; it could make for a more affordable option. And on that note, if you wish to make the space even more budget-friendly, you can always try a BYOB option. Having your own alcohol or beverages on the day of your dinner will significantly reduce the cost of renting the space. Just bear in mind the corkage fee you may have to pay if you choose this option.

Of course, you have to think through where exactly you’d like the dinner to take place. What part of Boston would you like to celebrate in? Perhaps, you have an extended family dinner, it would be nice to choose a space located close to your homes, preferably not too far away for everyone, and easily accessible by the public commute. Check out if the venue offers parking spaces as well. Is anyone planning to fly over for Thanksgiving? Will they have easy access to the hotel? Make sure your guests are comfortable! Also, remember to double-check your guest list, and remember you’re counting the children, if there are any. Some restaurants will charge you packages for the evening, while others will charge you per guest. Of course, in many cases, children up to a certain age are free. 

Have you made up your mind about the decorations? If you’re planning to rent a private space or a larger part of the venue for your party, then perhaps you’ll be able to decorate a part of the restaurant as well. That would surely put everyone in great spirits. But, of course, if that’s not really your cup of tea, you can always ask the host of the restaurant if they happen to have anything in mind for the decor, just to make it all that little more festive. And if you’re willing to go that extra mile for this year, and you’re in the mood, why not have something extra prepared? Perhaps some games, not only for the kids but also for the adults? Karaoke, drinking games, or some live music or entertainment? Especially if you’re planning to have a larger get-together for the day, it could be a good idea to have everyone more engaged and highlight the reason why they are all there.

With that being said, we hope you have fun putting together this festive dinner, and if you still have some questions, keep scrolling to the FAQ section to find out more.
