Function FAQs

Send us an enquiry with your date and rough guest numbers. We'll confirm availability and send you a written quote within 1 business day.

Room hire is $500 from May – September and $1,000 from October – April. Catering is added on top — platters from $60 each, or buffets from $50 per person — and drinks are charged on consumption at the bar.

Yes. We can hold your date for up to 14 days without a deposit. If we haven't had written confirmation by then, the date is released for other enquiries.

To secure your date, send us written confirmation and a signed copy of our function terms at least 14 days before your event. We need your final guest numbers 10 days before the event; that number sets your catering. The full terms, including our cancellation policy, are sent with your written quote so you can read everything before you commit.

Functions start from 20 guests. The buffet has a minimum of 30. Planning something smaller? Ask us and we'll suggest the best option.

No — we're a functions-only venue and don't take restaurant table bookings. If you're planning a group meal for 20 or more, our sharing, buffet and plated menus are made for exactly that.

Of course. Mention it in your enquiry and we'll arrange a time for you to visit.

Four styles: platters of finger food priced per platter (from $60), a seasonal buffet (from $50 per person, minimum 30 guests), a ten-dish sharing menu ($65 per person) and a plated menu of two or three courses ($69 or $79 per person). Full menus are on our Functions & Prices page.

Outside catering is possible by prior arrangement. Food and drink from outside the venue need our written permission before your event, and additional fees may apply. Tell us who your caterer is when you enquire and we'll confirm what's possible in your quote.

Yes. Dietary requirements are catered for with advance notice — let us know when you confirm your numbers. Vegetarian dishes are marked on our menus.

Drinks are charged on consumption from our full-service bar, so there's no compulsory drinks package. You can run a bar tab or have guests buy their own. House wines are from $9 a glass and $35 a bottle, tap beer from $7 and soft drinks from $4.50. The full drinks list is on our Functions & Prices page.

No. Guests can't bring their own food or drink without our written permission beforehand. We're a licensed venue and serve alcohol responsibly; we may ask for ID.

The Yarra Room suits 20 to 200 guests, with up to 150 seated for a formal meal. An optional partition can split the room into two areas for smaller groups.

Yes — we host daytime and evening functions. In the evening, last drinks are served at 11pm and guests leave by 11.30pm.

The room has a full sound system with wireless microphones and a projector for presentations and slideshows. We can book a DJ or other entertainment for you at an extra cost, or you can arrange your own — outside suppliers just need to coordinate deliveries, set-up and pack-down with us.

Yes. You're welcome to bring your own decorations and set up the day before. Signage needs to be self-supporting, as nothing can be fixed to the walls. We can also arrange candles and vases, centrepieces and local flora for you.

Some night functions — such as birthdays, formals and sports presentations — may need professional security. We can arrange guards for you, charged per hour, or you can organise your own. We'll tell you when you enquire whether it applies to your event.
