We work closely with four wonderful caterers with varying styles, menus and budget - something to suit everyone. Canapes, fork and bowl, sharing platters or seated meals - they can do it all.

These caterers provide experienced waiters and bar staff, along with a function Manager to run the event. Check out their mouthwatering tucker!


We are a BYO alcohol venue, but our catering partners can provide beverages if you wish. We have a fully equipped indoor bar with three separate fridges available, and no problem to set one up outside too.

All packaged up and ready for you to enjoy!
