About The Stirling Hotel
The Stirling Hotel sits on Mount Barker Road in the heart of Stirling, at the doorstep of the Adelaide Hills. Under one roof it runs a bistro, a wine bar and dining room, a gin bar, a pizza bar, a patisserie and a bottle shop, and parking is free. The Terrace is the main function room, set upstairs with lift access and its own private bar. Bi-fold doors open the bright room onto a large deck hung with festoon lights, with a retractable roof, blinds and a rooftop garden outlook, so it works in any weather. The Terrace seats 25 to 84 guests or holds up to 120 for a cocktail party. A music system, microphone, projector and screen come with the room. Downstairs, the Library is a smaller room lined with bookshelves, warmed by a gas fire and fitted with a Smart TV, seating 15 to 40 or taking 45 standing. For something more casual, the Pizza Deck at the front of the bistro is a semi-private corner for 20 to 40 guests, with café blinds, heaters and a wood fire in the cooler months. It runs on its own pizza party package or a per-head menu. Function menus run from canapés and grazing tables at $40 per person to shared feasts, plated two and three course dinners and a five-course degustation. Drinks can go on a bar tab, a cash bar or a four or five hour package, and the kitchen caters for dietary needs with notice.
