FUNCTIONS

A space for your celebration

Settle into Chesterfield lounges, gather around the bar and make the dance floor your own. Our heated and air-conditioned venue suits milestone birthdays, engagements, weddings and relaxed corporate celebrations. We will help arrange the seating and open space to suit your guests.

Canapé catering

8 canapés: $42 per person · 10 canapés: $50 per person. An 8 or 10 canapé package per guest is required. Choose from cold, hot and dessert selections in the function pack, and discuss dietary requirements with us.

Drinks your way

Set a bar tab to suit your budget, let guests purchase their own drinks, or combine the two. You do not need a drinks package. Our bar offers Puss & Mew spirits, beer, wine and non-alcoholic options. An arrival cocktail can be added for $19 per person.

A $2,000 minimum food and beverage spend applies. This is a minimum commitment, not a fixed event price. Your total depends on guest numbers, catering and drinks. Security, where required, is additional.

Smaller-group illustration: for 20 guests, 8 canapés each cost $840. A further $1,160 in beverage spend would bring food and beverages to the $2,000 minimum. This is a budgeting illustration, not an all-inclusive drinks package. Your deposit is credited towards the minimum spend.

Optional drinks packages

If you prefer a set package, prices are $75 per person for 2½ hours during a 3-hour function, $85 for 3½ hours during a 4-hour function, or $95 for 4½ hours during a 5-hour function. Packages finish 30 minutes before the function ends. See the function pack for inclusions. Packages are not available for hens or bucks parties, or 18th or 21st birthday celebrations; bar tabs and individual purchases remain available subject to responsible service requirements. Shots and double serves are not permitted.

Corporate events and private experiences

Bring your team together for a celebration, client event or private masterclass. Ask about adding a guided tasting, distillery tour or hands-on gin, whisky or cocktail experience. We will tailor the options to your group.
