Tips & Advice
- Book early because the Christmas lunch is very popular. Full payment is due four weeks out, or straight away if you book within four weeks.
- Choose the upstairs function room for a large group and the lower level bistro for a smaller, more intimate table, since both floors serve the buffet.
- List any dietary requirements when you book, because requests can't be taken on the day and the kitchen can't cater for serious allergies or anaphylaxis.
- If you're coming without a booking, bring a picnic but no alcohol, and skip gas BBQs, candles and sparklers because the venue is in a national park.
- Ask for the children's menu when you book if you have under-12s, because fried chicken or battered fish with fries is only available on request.
Special Events & Promotions
- Children under 5 eat free.
- A Christmas Day dinner buffet runs as a separate booking from the lunch, on both floors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should we book the upstairs or downstairs room?
Book the upstairs function room for a large group. It has views across Melbourne. The lower level bistro has more intimate seating and views too, and suits smaller groups. Lunch and dinner buffets run on both floors.
What's on the buffet?
You'll find roast turkey, slow-cooked pork with apple sauce and slow-cooked brisket, plus seafood including oysters and prawns. There are also salads, hot dishes, Christmas pudding and other desserts, and Australian cheeses. Beer, wine, soft drinks, tea, filter coffee and standard spirits are included.
Is it good for kids?
Yes. Children under 5 eat free. A children's menu of fried chicken and fries or battered fish and fries is available on request for under 12s.
Can they cater for dietary needs or halal?
Tell them about dietary requirements when you book, because requests can't be taken on the day. The kitchen can't cater for serious allergies or anaphylaxis. The duck, chicken and fish are certified halal, but some sauces may not be, so ask when booking.
Can we visit on Christmas Day without a booking?
Yes. The outside area is open to everyone for picnics and the views. A licensed cafe sells drinks and snacks from a reduced menu, with outside seating only.
