About Victoria Park Social Club

Victoria Park Social Club occupies the heritage-listed Bookmakers League Building at the Victoria Park racecourse, on the corner of Wakefield and Fullarton roads in Rose Park. The restored building and its grounds are run by Rob and Libby Paglia of La Dolce Vita Catering. Every function gets exclusive use of the building and its outdoor area. Inside there are long timber tables, wine barrels, fairy lights and heating and cooling, while outside has palm-lined lawns, festoon lighting, long white picnic tables and fire pits in winter. The club is licensed for 300 guests across indoors and out. Indoors suits about 120 seated or 175 standing, and a marquee can be added outside for extra space or cooler weather. Food comes from the club's own chefs. Function menus run from canapé packages at $25 per person to wood-oven pizza, wood-fired barbecue, rotisserie, fresh pasta and paella stations, plus antipasto, plated and shared dining. Drinks packages run for three or five hours, with spirits and cocktails added on consumption, and BYO is not permitted under the licence. A Sonos sound system, microphone and PA are part of the venue. Function pack prices are based on at least 50 guests, and smaller events are quoted separately. A deposit of 25% of the total, or at least $2,000, confirms the date, and public holiday events carry a 20% surcharge.
