How are you guys spending your annual staff party?
Yes, the other half and I have always taken full advantage of this - had a great boozy evening in Oxford last year following a tour of the Pitt Rivers to see the shrunken heads! It's very easy to rack up that £300, especially once train fares have been factored in.
This year we were planning to incorporate it into a musical evening featuring my best friend's father's musical outfit who do stuff in the vein of The Temperance Seven - far too young to remember them but they were a thing once upon a time apparently.
Obviously that's not going to happen in our venue of choice and unless we take it to private premises it won't be happening at all.
Still, we'll probably just be getting more bang for our buck in the local this year. Assuming it's open

I usually do the same, with hotels so cheap now, it allowed me to book into a much higher class hotel than usual for this year for the 150 pp

A bottle of scotch
A pot noodle and a copy of a gentlemens magazine seems likely to be the best investment of the cash this year!

Depends how you look at it.
Myself and my wife (both employed directors) generally take a guest each (a couple we are very good friends with) out to a slap-up dinner, spending £600. We'd do the same even if it weren't chargeable as a company event, but because it is, we spend £500 (gross of tax) of the company's money (as we get the VAT back) rather than £600 (net of tax) of our own.
Hardly life-changing, but why not do it that way?
