About Cathedral Hotel

The Cathedral Hotel is a pub on Kermode Street in North Adelaide, with views from its upper levels across to St Peter's Cathedral and Adelaide Oval. It has several function spaces spread over the ground floor, the first floor and the roof, so a group can choose a room that matches its numbers. The Torrens Room holds the most guests and is light and neutral, with its own bar, private amenities and a digital setup for AV. It holds 110 seated or 140 for cocktails and suits presentations as well as big seated dinners. The Heritage Room on the first floor is bright and modern, with direct access to the balcony running across the hotel's front, and takes 40 seated or 130 standing. The Balcony Bar suits cocktail parties of up to 60, with a fire in the rooftop beer garden close by. The rooftop is an open-air area that can be added to the Balcony Bar or the Torrens Room, in full or in half. On the ground floor, the Good Samaritan bar has four beer taps and works for small meetings or a 21st, and the marble Long Bar is handy for drinks before or after an event. Minimum spends start at $3,000 for the Balcony Bar or the Torrens Room, with a $300 hire fee, and the Heritage Room is a $4,000 minimum spend with a $400 fee. Catering runs from grazing tables and platters to a set menu, and drinks can go on a tab or a package.

Pricing

The Balcony Bar and the Torrens Room each have a $300 hire fee and a $3,000 minimum spend, and the Heritage Room has a $400 hire fee and a $4,000 minimum spend. Fees and minimum spends are higher in peak periods.

The rooftop can be added to a booking: the full rooftop adds $100 hire and a $1,000 minimum spend, and half adds $50 hire and a $500 minimum spend. If the agreed minimum spend isn't reached, the balance is paid on the night.

Food

Grazing tables include an antipasto spread of local meats, cheeses, dips and pickles at $500 for 40 to 60 guests or $1,000 for 80 to 100, plus a dessert table at $500. Cold, hot and pizza platters are priced per platter, with gluten-free and vegan options.

For seated events the set menu is $65 per person for two courses or $75 per person for three, with an alternate drop for groups over 40. Dietary requirements can be catered for when given ahead of the function.

Beverages

Drinks can go on a host-paid tab capped at a figure you agree, on a subsidised tab where guests pay a set price per drink, or guests can buy their own. Beverage packages for groups of 50 or more run three to five hours, from $45 to $75 per person.

Own wine is allowed only by prior arrangement, at $15 corkage a bottle for the first six and $20 after that.

The hotel opens on Sundays for functions and Adelaide Oval events, and tentative bookings are held for 14 days. Send an enquiry to book.
