About Findon Hotel
The Findon Hotel is a long-standing pub on Grange Road in Adelaide's western suburbs. It runs a family bistro, the Rat 'N' Parrot front bar with live music on weekends, a sports area and a beer garden. The pub has no stand-alone function room. Instead, groups book a reserved area, either the beer garden on its own or the beer garden together with the bar beside it, for a semi-private gathering with sit-down dining or platters. The beer garden is shaded with umbrellas and laid out with high and low tables on synthetic lawn. The hotel focuses on smaller social events, and it names birthdays and office parties as the occasions it hosts most often. Food is ordered as platters, with a minimum of four per function. Choices run from sweet potato chips and dips through to arancini, chicken skewers, lamb koftas, cheeseburger sliders and a cheese board, plus a self-serve tea and coffee station. Drinks can be fully covered on a tab, part-subsidised, or left for guests to buy at the bar. The pub's music system takes song requests, or you can plug in your own playlist, and a microphone and screen are available for speeches and photos.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a private function room?
No. The hotel reserves part of the pub for your group instead, either the beer garden alone or the beer garden plus the adjoining bar area, so the setting is semi-private.
What are the minimum spends?
From Sunday to Thursday the beer garden needs a $500 minimum spend for 30 or more guests, and the larger combined area needs $2,000 for 50 or more. On Friday and Saturday the figures are $1,000 and $3,500.
Can we bring our own cake?
Yes, there is no charge if you cut and serve it yourselves, and the hotel supplies plates, napkins, forks and a knife. Staff can cut and garnish it for $2.50 a slice. No other outside food is allowed.
How does the food work?
Functions order from a platter menu, with at least four platters per booking, paid two weeks ahead. All dietary needs have to be given to the hotel before the day.
Can under 18s attend?
Yes, with a parent or guardian with them at all times, but licensing rules mean everyone under 18 must leave by midnight.
