FAQs
How is the space set up?
Your event at our venue promises to be a truly exceptional experience! With exclusive use of our stunning space, you and your guests will have the entire venue to yourselves. This includes both the indoor and outdoor bars, all indoor bar and seating areas, the entire Wine Garden, as well as both deck areas, ensuring a private and intimate atmosphere for your celebration.
Inside, you'll find a 10-meter-long bar complemented by lower banquette seating and two taller communal tables, perfect for socializing. Moving into our enchanting Wine Garden, you'll discover a mix of bench seating and tables for food and drinks, complete with a unique bar crafted from a shipping container. This area provides ample space for mingling and enjoying the festivities, all sheltered under a weatherproof sail.
The Deck area offers a picturesque view of the city lights, overlooking our beautiful Wine Garden. Here, you'll find tables for food and drinks, as well as plenty of room for standing and mingling. While some seating options are available, this area is designed with a cocktail-style function in mind, encouraging a dynamic and social atmosphere.
Venturing up to the Upper Deck, you'll be treated to breath-taking views of the city and our Wine Garden. This elevated space is perfect for savouring a cocktail or two while taking in the magnificent surroundings.
How many people can we fit?
Our venue is well-equipped to comfortably accommodate a range of guests, with a capacity ranging from 200 to 350 people. This flexibility ensures that we can cater to events of various sizes, providing an ideal setting for gatherings both large and intimate. If you have a specific guest count in mind or any other requirements, please let us know, and we'll be happy to assist you in planning your event.
How long does the function go for?
For your event, we offer exclusive use of our venue from 4pm to 9pm. During this time frame, we require a minimum spend, which will be allocated towards your food and drink selections for the evening. While your group is not limited to this specific time slot, it's important to note that after 9pm, the venue will reopen to the public. This provides you with the flexibility to extend your celebration if desired, while also allowing for the opportunity to continue the festivities elsewhere if you prefer.
How and when can I pay for my function?
To secure your booking, a deposit payment is necessary. Please note that the booking will not be considered confirmed until the deposit has been received. We kindly request that the deposit be settled within 7 days from the date of your tentative booking. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that all function-related food and beverage selections must be pre-ordered. Furthermore, full payment for these selections is required at least 14 days prior to the scheduled function date. This ensures that we can properly prepare and present your chosen menu in a timely and seamless manner. Should you have any further questions or require additional assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are committed to making your event with us a truly exceptional experience.
Can we bring our own decorations?
Absolutely! You are more than welcome to bring your own decorations to help personalize your event. We're happy to accommodate florals, weighted balloons, or other tabletop decorations for centerpieces. However, we kindly request that you consult with our Functions Team prior to ordering any such items. This ensures that they are suitable for the designated area and compatible with the shared canapés and service provided during your event.
** Please note we do not allow confetti, confetti balloons, or sparklers**
Can I bring my own cake?
You are more than welcome to bring your own cake for your event. We are happy to accommodate this request. Please make arrangements with our Function Team to coordinate the drop-off of the cake prior to the start of your event.
Please note: We do not charge a cakeage fee
Can I play my own music?
As the outdoor area is all connected to the same speaker system, we will only be able to allow short speeches (5-10 minutes maximum) as we will have to turn the music down in the whole of the outdoor area, and this will affect all the other groups that we have booked outside.
We do have a microphone, which we will need to be notified of in advance if you are wanting to use, as we will need to have this set up (minimum one week notice).
With regards to playing your personal music, we only allow specific playlists or DJs for venue-exclusive events, outside of that we provide our own playlist for entertainment.
Do you cater for people with dietary requirements?
Absolutely, we are more than happy to accommodate guests with specific dietary requirements. Our offerings include options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, and nut allergy needs. However, it's important to note that even though we take every reasonable precaution to meet these dietary needs, we cannot guarantee that the food is completely free of allergens. This is because all food preparation takes place in the same kitchen, which handles nuts, shellfish, gluten, and eggs.
To ensure we cater to your dietary requirements, please make them known when discussing your booking with our team. This way, we can work together to provide you and your guests with a dining experience that is both enjoyable and safe. If you have any further questions or need additional information, feel free to reach out to us. We are committed to making your event as comfortable and enjoyable as possible for all attendees.
is there wheelchair access?
Yes, we are pleased to confirm that our restaurant and Wine Garden are wheelchair accessible. Additionally, we have a dedicated disabled toilet on the premises to ensure the comfort and convenience of all our guests.
Does a dress code apply?
We kindly request that our guests dress in neat, smart/casual attire when attending events at our venue. This ensures a comfortable and respectful atmosphere for all attendees.
What if i need to cancel my function?
We understand that circumstances can change, and we have a cancellation policy in place to address such situations. If you need to cancel your function, please ensure that you communicate your cancellation in writing. Here is our cancellation policy:
- Cancellations made within 7 days of booking the function will be fully refundable.
