About The Grove
The Grove is a suburban tavern in Surrey Downs, on the corner of Grenfell and Golden Grove roads in Adelaide's north east. Alongside its bars, bistro and bottle shop, it runs a busy function program across five separate spaces. The Deck is a leafy indoor-outdoor room with festoon lights, hanging plants and timber tables, taking 120 cocktail guests or 80 seated, or 70 standing when half is booked. The Restaurant offers the same numbers with banquet seating and AV, and can be divided for smaller groups. The Boardroom is an enclosed room with a large wall screen, suiting 80 standing or 40 seated for meetings, private dinners and family celebrations. In the Garden, the Pavilion holds up to 100 cocktail guests on weekends, and the covered Courtyard opens straight onto the bar. For food, cocktail functions choose a feed-me package of four, six or eight items per person, or order platters such as sliders, arancini, a grazing board and mini tarts. Seated groups pick a two or three course set menu, served alternately or with guest choice. Drinks can be a three or four hour package, a bar tab, a subsidised tab where guests pay part of each drink, or a cash bar. Each booking includes helium balloons, a chalkboard at the entrance and an HDMI connection, and extras such as a balloon garland can be added.
