Can Chez Clément host an annual team dinner?

Quick answer

Yes. Brasserie Chez Clément hosts annual team dinners for teams of all sizes, from a ten-person internal team to a 230-guest seated company dinner, or up to 250 guests in a standing cocktail format. Dinner service runs from 19:00 to 22:30, and partial privatisation is available for fully dedicated formats.

An annual team dinner is one of the most common B2B formats hosted at Brasserie Chez Clément. The house has been a gathering point on the Brussels-Wavre road since 1858 and has the operational discipline to absorb a sizeable team in evening service. The current dinner service runs from 19:00 to 22:30, the bar stays open continuously until 01:00, and the kitchen brigade of thirty-two led by chef Vincent Frédéric De Laloy is dimensioned for volume.

The format options scale to the team's size and intent. A small team (ten to fifteen guests) sits naturally as a long table on the quieter side of the main dining room, no privatisation required. A medium team (twenty to fifty guests) usually benefits from a partial privatisation, conservatory or partitioned section, for a more contained acoustic and visual feel. A larger annual celebration (seventy to two hundred guests) typically uses the main dining room with banquet rounds or a long-table layout. A full-company evening reaching 230 seated or 250 guests for a private event works with a privatised full-venue configuration.

The location works well for a team dinner because of how guests get home. The large free car park sits ten metres from the door, so a designated-driver setup is straightforward. For team members without a car, Genval railway station on SNCB line 161 is a ten- to fifteen-minute walk away, and the bar's continuous opening lets a smaller circle extend the evening informally after the main service.
