Function Food and Drink

Drawing from years of experience, we are pleased to offer a selection of food and drink options for your celebration

Food options for your function

Choosing food for your celebration need not be a difficult task. We offer an extensive selection of food options - our experience team will assist you in selecting the most suitable food options for your particular occasion.    Depending on your numbers, we can accommodate functions in our Library, Ballroom, Dining Room and Restaurant.  We have a function bar and a residents bar offering a wide selection of beers, wines and spirits as your guests arrive.

  • The a la carte menu offers your guests a choice at the table from the menu of the day.  This menu varies at the discretion of Head Chef.
     
  • Our Function Menu (for 15 or more guests) allows you to pre-select the food choices to be offered to your guests in advance of the day.  Your guests will then select their choice from three starters and two desserts at the table, on the day.  Generally one main course is offered with a vegetarian dish being selected for the relevant number of guests in advance of the day.
     
  • We offer a finger buffet which is generally the most suitable for funeral teas, christenings and baby showers.  You select your choice of items from an extensive list of options in advance of the day.  Our served buffet is an alternative to the finger buffet for those preferring our staff to serve guests from a buffet table.
     
  • Afternoon Tea is also an alternative food choice for any celebration.  This can be served in a choice of rooms depending on your numbers.  A room hire charge may apply for private functions - please ask for details

If you are planning a wedding, please see our Weddings page to guide you through the planning of the day and food options available for your guests.
