Your food, our room

Some celebrations need food only one caterer can make — a grandmother’s recipes, a cuisine from home, or a caterer you’ve trusted for years. Outside catering is welcome at the Yarra Room by prior arrangement.

How it works

  1. Check a date — tell us your date, guest numbers and who your caterer is.
  2. Get your quote — room hire is $500 from May – September and $1,000 from October – April. Outside food needs our written permission and additional fees may apply; your quote will spell out exactly what.
  3. Connect us with your caterer — outside suppliers coordinate deliveries, set-up and pack-down with us directly.
  4. Enjoy the day — your caterer serves the food and our bar looks after drinks.

Drinks

Drinks are served from our full-service bar and charged on consumption. Run a bar tab, or have guests buy their own.

  • Cultural and family celebrations with traditional food
  • Christenings, baptisms and baby showers
  • Family reunions and big birthdays
  • Club fundraisers and community events

Prefer us to cater?

Our function menus start with platters from $60 each and buffets from $50 per person — compare both options before you decide.

Your questions

Can we bring our own caterer?

Outside catering is possible by prior arrangement. Food and drink from outside the venue need our written permission before your event, and additional fees may apply. Tell us who your caterer is when you enquire and we'll confirm what's possible in your quote.

Can we bring our own drinks?

No. Guests can't bring their own food or drink without our written permission beforehand. We're a licensed venue and serve alcohol responsibly; we may ask for ID.

How many guests can the room hold?

The Yarra Room suits 20 to 200 guests, with up to 150 seated for a formal meal. An optional partition can split the room into two areas for smaller groups.

Can we decorate the room?

Yes. You're welcome to bring your own decorations and set up the day before. Signage needs to be self-supporting, as nothing can be fixed to the walls. We can also arrange candles and vases, centrepieces and local flora for you.
