Enclosed alfresco
Our favourite room for a party. Enclosed and warm, so it works year round, and it suits grazing platters and drinks better than anywhere else in the building.

Before you ask
The questions we get every week
Is there a lift to the upstairs room?
No — upstairs is stairs only. If anyone in your group can’t manage stairs, the enclosed alfresco or the main restaurant are both on the ground floor and we’ll happily set you up down there instead. Just tell us and we’ll sort it.
Do we have to have a set menu?
For groups of eleven or more, yes. It’s three entrées, three mains and two desserts, built from our current à la carte. You pick the courses beforehand and your guests choose their own dish on the night — no pre-ordering, no handing in a list. It’s the only way we can get forty plates out together without anyone waiting an hour.
Can we just order off the normal menu?
Under eleven guests, absolutely — that’s just a regular booking. Above fifteen we can’t do full à la carte, but we can shorten the menu to a few items if a set menu doesn’t suit.
What are the surcharges?
Ten per cent on Saturdays and Sundays, fifteen per cent on public holidays. All our prices include GST. The quote above adds these automatically once you pick a date.
Can we bring a cake, decorations, a playlist?
Cakes and decorations, yes — come in beforehand and set up, just agree a time with us. Cakeage is $15 per cake, and we’ll cut and plate it for you. Speeches are fine. There’s a wall for a projector upstairs if you’re presenting.
How do the drinks work?
Three ways, whichever suits: a bar tab with a limit you set, guests buying their own, or drinks on arrival for a set amount per head. Tell us in the notes and we’ll price it.
Can you cater for dietaries?
Vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free — all handled, we just need to know two weeks out so the kitchen can prep properly. For halal, our Vegetarian Pleaser platter is the one to build around.
What time can we have the room?
Dinner service runs Thursday to Saturday with the kitchen from 5:30pm, and we seat functions at 5:30, 6:00, 6:30, 7:00 or 7:30. Lunches and breakfasts run any day and we’re happy to open early for a breakfast event. A private room is yours for three hours.
What if our numbers change?
Totally normal — final numbers are due two weeks out and we work from those. Guests who don’t turn up on the day are still charged, because the food’s been bought and prepped, so it’s worth chasing your RSVPs.
