Celebrate Your Company’s Year End Celebration in Style – at Urban Playground Cape Town

The festive season is just around the corner, and if you’re scouting for a quirky, memorable venue in Cape Town for your company’s Year End Celebration with ~35 guests, look no further than Urban Playground in Maitland. With its rock-’n-roll energy, open kitchen theatre, global street-food menu and strong community ethos, it’s the hidden gem your team will talk about long after the holiday season.
Why Urban Playground is the Perfect Spot for a Year End Celebration
1. Intimate scale + vibrant atmosphere
With seating for around 34 (or 36 at a squeeze) in the courtyard and chef’s table area, Urban Playground offers just the right balance: cozy enough for connection, but big enough to feel lively. The edgy décor, open kitchen and street-food vibes make it far from your standard corporate banquet hall. Guests get front-row seats to the action.
2. A menu that sparks conversation
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill roast. The chefs at Urban Playground draw on bold global influences—expect dishes like Asian pork belly, Polish kielbasa, eisbein, Lebanese flatbread specials, artisanal wood-fired pizzas and more. The pièce de résistance? Their Peking duck, carefully cured in their dedicated “duck room,” served with pancakes, hoisin, cucumber and spring onions. (Tip: order 48 hours in advance.)
3. It’s uniquely Cape Town, but hidden enough to feel special
Tucked in a Maitland business park corner (Coronation & Van Wyk Streets), Urban Playground feels like a “locals’ secret” spot. The location lends your party that insider, cool-urban feel.
Tips to Plan a Smooth Year End Celebration at Urban Playground
Book early — with limited seating, the space fills up fast.
Pre-select a menu / set menu — to simplify service and ensure you get the dishes you want.
Order the Peking duck in advance — it requires 48 hours’ notice.
Split the space cleverly — use the chef’s table + courtyard to create flow and mingling zones.
