All you need to do is show up hungry

The Private Dining Room suits seated gatherings of up to 32 guests. From the moment your guests arrive to the final pour of wine, our in-house team takes care of everything behind the scenes. We’ll collaborate with you to create a seasonal menu that suits the tone and flow of your event.

Food is served shared-style down the centre of the table, and everything is designed around the season — think autumn roasts, spring salads, summer cordials, and fresh produce picked just a few paddocks away.

Come with your ideas and appetite, we’ll take care of the rest.
