Why can’t I book a larger table online?
We’re a tiny tin shed. Like, really, really tiny. The largest table we can sit inside is 8 people.
For tables between 9 – 12 guests, it would become a private function following the conditions below:
As we only offer a banquet style menu at $87, all guests are required to partake in this menu regardless of age.
$50pp non refundable deposit is required to secure the booking, as well as number of guests to be confirmed 7 days prior to the booking to avoid loss of deposit.
$140pp minimum spend is required, this includes the banquet.
Dietary requirements must be confirmed 7 days prior to the booking as our kitchen team will not be able to cater at a later time.
If you are looking for tables 13 guests and above, this would mean hiring a section of the restaurant.

Set Menu
We offer the Set Menu only at $87pp for all our guests.
The Set Menu includes seasonal chef’s selection of dishes which changes weekly. Sit back, relax and let us feed you.
Some dietary requirements can be incorporated into the banquet with prior notice. Please see below for dietary information.
Can I BYO wine or cake?
We no longer allow BYO of any kind…
If you have a very special bottle, please contact us for further discussion.
We don’t allow outside food to be brought in.
How long should we allow for our booking?
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!)
Definitely dine in only!
Do we do takeaway?!? Nope! Nor do we offer A La Carte…banquet only!

Can I bring the kids?
Sure! There is no food requirement for any child in a highchair, if a child requires a normal seat & under the age of 12, we offer a reduced volume banquet for $65. Anyone over the age of 12 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.
Due to our size, we can not accommodate prams inside.
Where are you located?
You’ll find us at 24 Old Coach Rd, Aldinga, approximately 50m north of the Pub on the eastern side next to Goodness Coffee Co.
Can I book outside?
Yes!
We take bookings in our courtyard area, it is sheltered & we do have heaters if needed. Please remember to dress seasonably if you have selected courtyard seating.
Surcharges & Public Holidays
A surcharge of 17% applies on all Public Holidays.
Credit Card surcharges may also apply on certain cards depending on relevant bank fees.
Heat Policy
In extreme heat, the kitchen is not safe for our chefs as temperatures can exceed 60 degrees.
If the forecast is above 35 degrees, we may decide to close the restaurant.
We will be in touch with individual bookings if this is the case.
