Food Options
Food must be provided for all guests of all functions, no exceptions. We provide a full catering service to meet most tastes & budgets. We have a range of different function menus available for consideration, however, you may contact us to discuss your specific requirements. We are happy to provide suggested menus and quotes to match your needs. Alternatively, you may make your own catering arrangements, however, this will incur a $200.00 fee. If you are undertaking your own catering please be aware that we do not offer food storage or catering facilities with the exception that we do have a BBQ facility which can be hired to use at an additional cost. Please contact us to discuss if you wish to use our BBQ facility.
Beverages
We do not allow ‘Bring Your Own’ or BYO on our premises. All alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages must be purchased on premise. We have a few options for you to choose from:
- Cash/Eftpos bar – You and your guests pay for beverages as you go. There are no subsidies or discounts included.
- Open bar tab – You pay a set amount (this value is agreed on between you, the Host, and the Function Manager) that fully subsidises you and your guests’ beverages. The Manager on the night will keep you updated of the tab amount until it is all spent. You are welcome to add more to the tab at the Managers discretion. There are no discounts included.
- Subsidised bar tab (recommended) – You pay a set amount (this value is usually agreed on between you, the Host, and the Function Manager) that partially subsidises you and your guests’ beverages. Your guest pays $4.00 for a pint of beer and the remaining cost of that beer comes off your subsidised tab, for example. There are no discounts included.
If you have specific beverage or dietary requirements, please discuss these with the Function Manager.
