We don’t allow outside food to be brought in.
You will need to allow at least 2 hours to experience our set menu. As the number of diners increase, so will the time required.
*Please note that we take bookings for two sittings. If you have booked in the first sitting, you may be asked to vacate the table after your allocated time to allow for the next sitting.
Second sitting has no time limit (except when we want to go home!)
Do we do takeaway?!? Nope! Nor do we offer A La Carte…banquet only!

Sure! There is no food requirement for any child in a highchair, if a child requires a normal seat & under the age of 13, we offer a reduced volume banquet for $65. Anyone over the age of 13 is required to partake in our chef’s set menu.
We only have one highchair available, so please let us know if you need one when you book.
Our venue is a very old and a very small shed, so for safety reasons we don’t allow children under 12 in the second sitting for dinner (8pm).
Due to our size, we can not accommodate prams inside.
We can cater for private functions!
Our outside courtyard is the perfect area for larger booking between 9-15 guests.
