Discover our upcoming banquets, themed nights, and private functions. Reserve your place at the table and be part of memorable evenings designed around woodfired cuisine and crafted drinks.
Seasonal Woodfired Journeys
Our chefs curate periodic themed dinners that celebrate seasonal Australian produce through a woodfired lens. Each edition focuses on a distinct ingredient, region, or culinary story, presented across a refined multi-course menu.
Expect thoughtfully paired wines, slow-crafted sauces, and tableside detail that invites your guests into the narrative of the menu.
Behind-the-pass, at the heart of the fire
Our Chef's Table evenings are designed for small groups seeking a deeper connection with the kitchen. Enjoy experimental tasting menus, thoughtful storytelling around each course, and exclusive access to the rhythms of service.
Subject to availability on select evenings, with optional kitchen tours and sommelier-led pairings.
Craft cocktails, softly lit conversations
Our intimate bar transforms into a playground for craft mixology on select evenings. Savour limited-edition cocktails, collaborations with guest bartenders, and finely tuned low- and no-alcohol creations that mirror our culinary philosophy.
Perfect as a prelude to a banquet or as a stand-alone social gathering for teams and close-knit groups.
