Function Menus

function menus

Our event management team have developed a range of catering options to suit all types of function, from casual barbecues to formal banquets.

Our Plated Function Menus are available for exclusive and non-exclusive functions at Prime and for exclusive functions at Tatler.

All dinner guests will be given a menu card outlining the options available for them to choose from on the night, except for Menu A, which does not provide for choices.

Buffet menus are available for exclusive functions at both venues. Canape functions are most appropriate when the venue is booked exclusively but we can host small canape functions in the private curtained area at Prime and in Tatler's Spectator Room.

Hosts of small, non-exclusive functions at Tatler are invited to choose from the set menus here.

Fork 'n Walk

 

For informal dinner functions where guests will be standing and mingling, yet require more substantial food than noodleboxcanapes, we offer our Noodlebox Menu.

On such occasions, rather than taking orders and serving plated meals, our staff circulate with trays from which guests can choose from a selection of noodleboxes containing light snacks.

Our Noodlebox Menu is designed so that guests can eat standing up with a fork. Each option is $10 per box and for $50 your guests will be served five noodleboxes. Choose from the options below.

  • Salmon, steamed rice, wilted greens
  • Chicken risotto, bacon, baby spinach, parmesan shavings
  • Tempura fish fillets with fries
  • Spicy glass noodles, bok choy, carrots, bean sprouts
  • Beef skewers and fries
  • Risotto with bacon and mushrooms, garnished with parmesan shavings
  • Udon noodles with bok choy, carrots and bean sprouts in a sesame soy sauce
  • Bratwurst sausage with buttered mash and onion gravy
  • Venison stew with mashed potatoes
  • Chocolate cake
  • Mini pavlovas

 

Our chefs can suggest additional items for a more filling meal as required.

 

Notes

  • We recommend adding breads/dips to your chosen menu for $5.50 per person so guests have something to eat once seated - with large groups it can take up to 45 minutes between orders being taken and entrees being served.

  • Tea and coffee are available on request. For large functions we recommend the filter coffee/tea bag option at $2.50 per cup. Espresso style coffees are available at smaller functions for $4.50 per cup.
  • We require seven days notice of guest numbers, menu choices and any special dietary requirements.
  • Unless vegetarians make up a large proportion of your group, you don’t need to include vegetarian options in your menu choices as our chefs will ensure appropriate alternatives are available for guests with special dietary needs, as long as we are advised in advance.
  • Please note that due to seasonal availability, ingredient substitutions may need to be made in some cases.

  • Bookings for functions are subject to our booking and cancellation policy.

  • All menu prices listed include GST and are current at time of upload. Food cost rises and any Governmental tax increases will be applied where necessary with as much notice given as possible.
