FUNCTION BOOKINGS

A function booking involves exclusive access to the Club Restaurant and/or Terrace (restricting their use by club members) and as such requires a minimum food & beverage spend:

CLUB RESTAURANT | $5,000
GARDEN TERRACE | $2,500
RESTAURANT & GARDEN TERRACE | $6,500
WEST DECK | $300

See the Sit Down Menu and Stand Up Menu

Final numbers and menu selections must be confirmed 10 days prior to the event.

Please note, prices and menus are subject to change

RESTAURANT BOOKINGS

Any large bookings that don’t meet the minimum spend required for exclusive use are considered restaurant bookings.

For restaurant bookings of up to 30 guests, we strongly recommend you take the Group Dining & Dinner Parties option for quicker and efficient service for dining.

Restaurant Bookings of 30 or more are only available using the set menus 2 & 3 which start from $60.00 to $70.00

Please note, your event will share the area with other members so decorations will be limited to your table(s) and AV/music is not possible.

Contact our Events Manager on 02 9667 4321 to discuss your needs in full.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

  • Decorations/Extras

    We’re sure you’ll be impressed by our elegant décor, however, if you're looking to add a little more flair we can offer the following:

    • Table Cloths and Linen Napkins (if not included in package) for $440.
    • Silver 5-Candle Candelabras including candles for each table at a cost of $50 each.
    • PA Speaker & Microphone $35
    • DJ; if you intend to have a DJ there is an additional charge of $200 for hosting. In the event that there is more than one function in the restaurant and garden terrace, only one DJ will be allowed and will be based on which party makes the first booking
    • Furniture Reconfigurations; if furnishings need to be removed it will incur a cost and this will be quoted to you depending on the amount of furniture to be moved. Please note the club doesn't have much storage space so reconfiguration has to be within reason.

    Please note as we have our own professional catering team, self-catering is not an option. However, we are able to provide your own menu upon consultation with our Executive Chef regarding appropriate costing.

    You are welcome to provide your own choice of decorations, music and flowers but arrangements for these will remain your own responsibility before, during and after the event. Prior access to your function area can be arranged but please note you will need to clean any associated mess once the club’s set-up has been completed.

    Not that we’ve lost our sparkle…. but in the last in 5 years we have destroyed 15 vacuum cleaners, so no more glitter!! Please check with your decorations supplier that glitter is not in the balloons.

  • Children Etiquette During Functions

    The idea is to have fun and, to ensure that everyone does, we have a number of guidelines regarding children in the club. We love kids and children are welcome to attend your event… but it’s important to remember that we are not a licensed childcare facility or a playground so we cannot take responsibility for their supervision or keep them entertained.
    (For these reasons, the club is unable to take bookings for birthday parties under the age of twenty-one.)

    As a small venue with limited space and age-restricted facilities, it is important that each child remains in the immediate company of a supervising carer over eighteen years of age. Not just in your sight but by your side at all times and in all areas of the club—including the toilet facilities. We know you love your kid’s boundless energy but not everyone may feel the same. Supervising carers must also be responsible for setting boundaries for their child’s behaviour in consideration of the comfort, enjoyment and welfare of all club patrons.

    In the interests of safety, kids are not permitted to run on club premises or climb on club furniture. If your child is getting bored and irritated being in the club, then, chances are, they are having the same effect on someone else! It’s also important to note that in accordance with the Registered Clubs Act 1976, it is an offence for children to enter the Bar, TAB or Gaming areas.

    Unfortunately, if a child is unsupervised or behaving in a manner which is potentially unsafe, disruptive to others or damaging to club property, the club may have to ask the carer and child to leave the premises. That’s not a great way to finish a party so we appreciate you complying with our guidelines to ensure everybody’s enjoyment of our facilities.
