Melbourne Cup Dining in Sydney

Reservation Confirmation & Cancellation Policy

If you need to cancel your reservation within 24 hours of your booking time, arrive with fewer guests than expected, or don’t make it to your reservation, a $50 per person fee will apply. For reservations with a set menu or beverage package, the final confirmed guest count provided 24 hours prior will be the minimum chargeable amount. Different policies may apply to group bookings of 50 or more guests. All guest party sizes are required to dine on one of our standard four set menus. Please note that our A La Carte and Express Lunch menus will not be available from 12pm to 5:30pm.

Service & Surcharge

A 10% service charge applies to reservations of 11 or more guests. Surcharges apply to all reservations regardless of party size: 5% on Sundays and 10% on Public Holidays. Where the 10% service charge applies, surcharges are waived.

Private Dining Rooms & Minimum Spend

When booking a private or semi-private dining room or space, a minimum spend applies. This minimum spend is for food and beverages only and does not include any additional fees or charges, such as service charges or surcharges. If the minimum spend is not reached, the remaining balance can either be used toward additional food and beverages or charged as a room hire fee to meet the minimum spend requirement.

BYO & Cakeage

We regret to inform you that outside beverages are not permitted at our establishment. As we are a fully licensed venue, we proudly provide an extensive selection of wines and beverages through our comprehensive list. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to offering you our exceptional range of libations to complement your dining experience. Should you choose to bring your own cake, please note that a cakeage fee of $3 per person will be applicable.

Menus & Beverage Packages

All guests are required to dine on event day set menus. All menu items and prices are subject to change based on seasonal availability.

Arrival and Seating Durations

All reservations are subject to a seating duration of 2 hours and 30 minutes. Kindly emphasise to your guests the importance of arriving slightly ahead of your agreed time so that you can enjoy your meal within the confirmed time period. We understand that unexpected circumstances may arise; however, in order to accommodate all guests, we can only hold your reservation and table for a maximum of 15 minutes beyond the scheduled reservation time. Regrettably, should you arrive more than 15 minutes late, your table may be released to ensure a smooth operation and minimise any inconvenience to other guests.

Requested Seating & Capacity

We acknowledge and appreciate your seating preferences and we make every effort to accommodate them; however, we cannot guarantee specific seating arrangements. Kindly understand that for groups exceeding 12 guests, it may be necessary to allocate seating across multiple tables.

Discounts & Promotions

Discounts and promotions may not be combined with other promotional offers and require a minimum purchase of a main course. Some promotions may require a dine in reservation. All discount and promotional decisions are made at the discretion of the Venue Manager.
