From small intimate celebrations to more lavish affairs of up to 200 guests, we can cater for a range of different dining styles—sit-down dinners with individual servings, banquets featuring share platters and cocktail receptions. For something different, choose from one of our many food and drink station options—sliders, Mexican tacos, cocktails, whiskies and cigars, to name a few.

Entertain your guests while they soak up the ocean views with pre-dinner drinks, choose from our canape selection or our 1.8 metre grazing table which overflows with local and house made delights.  Inject a bit of “Wow!” factor with a signature cocktail. And after a night of dancing, let your guests indulge in one of our late night pop-up food stations: choose from wood-fired pizzas, sliders or for something sweet mini gelato cones.
